Tehran’s silence on the suggestion of new negotiations is telling. Let’s get real: the last time Trump yapped about a “negotiated end to the war,” it was a prelude to more bombings. This isn’t a surprise; it’s practically a recurring theme — a desperate administration trying to paint a rosy picture while covertly deepening military engagements. The mainstream media, particularly CNN and MSNBC, lapped up Trump’s assurances as if he was handing out candy, completely ignoring the havoc that followed. They pushed a narrative that peace was around the corner, betraying their audiences with sugar-coated lies.

Meanwhile, networks like Fox News, while quick to criticize Democrats’ handling of foreign policy, fail to hold their own party’s leaders accountable. They trot out segments that focus only on the “good” aspects of Trump’s diplomatic blabber, all while ignoring the actual consequences — chloride gas and naval strikes. The real problem? They’re in the business of ratings, not truth.

It’s also rich how these outlets forget history. Negotiating with regimes like Iran has been a cycle of failed promises and bloodshed, yet here we are, yet again. Mainstream coverage is riddled with catchphrases like “diplomacy” and “clarifications,” yet they dodged the real question: why trust a leader who has walked back his claims consistently? We can’t afford to let these established media moguls continue setting the narrative while chaos reigns beneath the surface.
