Wait for few hours, then the deal is off again. Trump is predictable. Not even the stock market is changing when he says something now. The boy who cried wolf, cried to many times. TACO and round round we go. We’ll have a deal once he leaves office.

Iran is buying time to introduce new missiles by pretending to negotiate and delay the strike.
