Obama reached a deal with Iran whereby they stopped enriching uranium to weapons-grade. Trump ripped that deal up in a tantrum during his first term. So now, this (From the Institute for the Study of War:)
Iran reportedly offered Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)-like concessions in its nuclear proposal to the United States. An unspecified Arab diplomat told Israeli media on February 25 that Iran is willing to reduce its uranium enrichment level from 60 percent to 3.6 percent, which is close to the 2015 JCPOA’s 3.67 percent uranium enrichment limit.[12] The diplomat added that Iran offered to suspend uranium enrichment for seven years but that the United States has demanded that Iran suspend enrichment for 10 years.[13] Diplomatic sources familiar with the US-Iran negotiations told a separate Israeli media outlet on February 25 that Iran “offered no flexibility on the central US demand for a complete halt to uranium enrichment on Iranian soil.”[14] Iran also rejected the United States’ demand to transfer its highly enriched uranium stockpile abroad, according to the Arab diplomat.[15] US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff suggested on February 22 that the transfer of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile, in addition to zero enrichment, is US President Donald Trump’s “red line.”[16] Iran previously transferred 11,000 kilograms of enriched uranium to Russia under the 2015 nuclear deal.[17] The 11,000 kilograms included uranium enriched to 20 percent–Iran’s most highly enriched uranium at the time.[18] Iran has since produced over 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent, which is enough uranium, if enriched further, to produce at least 10 nuclear weapons.[19]

The U.S. fought a war with England to break from a king who put himself above the law. Now, England is arresting a former prince for breaking the law while the U.S. has literally put its president above it.
Giuffre family: Mountbatten-Windsor arrest proves 'no one is above the law'
Virginia Giuffre’s family have this morning said in a statement that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest shows that “no one is above the law”.

Giuffre was one of the most prominent victims of the disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein who also alleged she had been sexually trafficked to Prince Andrew.

She took her own life in April 2025, aged 41.

The statement reads:

At last, today our broken hearts have been lifted with the news that no one is above the law – not even royalty.

On behalf of our sister, we extend our gratitude to the UK’s Thames Valley Police in their investigation and arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.

Half of Americans polled believe Trump was involved in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal abuses. This...will not make that number go down:
AG Pam Bondi, under intense fire from the Trump Deranged Radical Left Lunatics, was fantastic at yesterday’s Hearing on the never ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein, where the one thing that has been proven conclusively, much to their chagrin, was that President Donald J. Trump has been 100% exonerated of their ridiculous Russia, Russia, Russia type charges. Actually, it is the SLIMEBALL Democrats, many of them big Donors and Politicians, that have been proven GUILTY! “Republican” Loser, Sanctimonious RINO Congressman, Thomas Massie, made a total fool of himself yesterday, fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of Hate and Stupidity, as most clearly stated by his crashing Job Approval Numbers in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, where a Military Hero Opponent, Ed Gallrein, is crushing him in the Polls. He is now in “Wacky” Liz Cheney territory! Nobody cared about Epstein when he was alive, they only cared about him when they thought he could create Political Harm to a very popular President who has brought our Country back from the brink of extinction, and very quickly, at that! In fact, this attempt by the Democrats to take away attention from tremendous Republican SUCCESS is backfiring badly. Maybe they should focus on their quest to Open our Borders to the World’s Greatest Criminals, have Transgender for Everybody or, get Men, no matter their size or strength, to play in Women’s Sports. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
