Why experts remain pessimistic even if Iran negotiations resume

Iraniana are going to drag this negotiation out and Trump is going to post something to piss them off. Recession is a coming

Having faith is believing and trusting that every delay and struggle is part of His plan to equip you for what’s ahead.

Because Trump won t stop at in Iran . After Iran , Trump will take on against Russia , Ukraine , etc

Iran just caved, today… April 17. They announced they straight is completely open which is what they were ordered to. Another Trump success NOT coveted by the Communism Nostalgia Network

A regime that scream “DEATH TO AMERICA !!!” for over 40 years got the LIVING SH*T KICKED OUT OF THEM. <br>AMERICA FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯🇺🇸💪🏽🇺🇸💪🏽🇺🇸💪🏽

because Trump is still the president

Killed 30 to 40 thousand people ??? Is this guy an IDIOT ? ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO KILL 30 TO 40 THOUSAND PEOPLE IN ANY PROTEST WITHOUT A NUCLEAR BOMB

Jared and whitkoff 😂😂😂😂 thats what America has come to 😂

Centcom is nothing but LIES and Iran is very smart cause now it looks like the U S is the one screwing the world economy

Trump is smart ,he block Hormuz to sell oil ,redirect all ships to golf of America,,,haaahaa Nice mouve sir !

Sure, trump is going to give iran some money just to get them to negotiate with him. That&#39;s a pipe dream. He may be crazy, but he&#39;s not stupid.

A Humane and Statesmanlike Vision for Ending the War<br><br>The situation remains extremely serious. The war is still ongoing in 2026. There was a brief 32-hour Easter ceasefire, but both sides accused each other of violating it. In March 2026, the United Nations recorded 211 civilian deaths and 1,206 injuries, making it the deadliest month since July 2025. The OSCE has said it is willing to help monitor a future negotiated settlement, while the European Union continues to maintain and expand sanctions on Russia.<br><br>The most important principle: a realistic objective<br><br>The strongest and most responsible goal is not to “destroy” Russia or China. The real objective is this:<br><br>Ukraine must survive as a sovereign state. Russia must not be rewarded for aggression. Civilian deaths must be reduced. And any future settlement must leave Ukraine safer than it was before.<br><br>That is not an easy goal, but it is a serious one. It is moral, realistic, and worthy of international leadership.<br><br>Short-term solutions<br>1. Protect Ukraine’s civilian population immediately<br><br>The first priority must be saving lives. That means expanding air defense, protecting energy infrastructure, strengthening shelters, rapidly repairing the power grid, and securing hospitals and water systems. Ukraine still needs stronger anti-air capabilities, and it has recently reached new agreements with European allies for drones, missiles, and defense systems. Germany has also announced another major support package.<br><br>2. Pursue limited ceasefires, even if they are imperfect<br><br>Even though the Easter ceasefire quickly broke down, it proved that partial pauses are still negotiable. Peace does not always begin with a grand final agreement. Sometimes it starts with smaller steps: agreements not to strike energy infrastructure, not to target civilian ports, to exchange prisoners, to open humanitarian corridors, and to protect nuclear facilities.<br><br>3. Maintain strong economic pressure on Russia<br><br>The European Union has renewed economic sanctions through July 31, 2026, and also extended individual sanctions. The purpose is clear: to sustain and increase pressure in order to force meaningful negotiations. Economic pressure remains one of the central tools for limiting the aggressor’s capacity to continue the war.<br><br>4. Do not leave Ukraine financially alone<br><br>Ukraine needs more than weapons. It needs the financial ability to function as a state: paying salaries, pensions, emergency reconstruction costs, energy services, health care, and domestic defense production. Europe must continue unlocking funds and expanding material support, because a country cannot defend itself if its institutions collapse from exhaustion.<br><br>Medium-term solutions<br>5. Build a credible security architecture for Ukraine<br><br>The greatest danger in any future agreement is this: if Ukraine signs a deal but remains unprotected, the war may simply restart later. The most serious path forward is to combine military training, domestic defense production, intelligence cooperation, long-term air defense, and strong multilateral guarantees. A peace without protection is only a pause.<br><br>6. Reduce Russia’s ability to sustain a long war<br><br>This means closing off financing channels, restricting dual-use technology, limiting military inputs, and reducing the export revenues that sustain the Russian war machine. Pressure must be continuous, strategic, and coordinated. The goal is not rage. The goal is endurance.<br><br>7. Isolate the aggression, not ordinary Russians<br><br>A wise strategy separates the regime from the population. International pressure should target state, military, financial, and propaganda networks — not ordinary civilians simply because of their nationality. That distinction matters morally and strategically.<br><br>8. Launch a large-scale human recovery plan for Ukraine<br><br>A sustainable peace requires more than silence on the battlefield. It requires the safe return of refugees, access to jobs, housing, education, and psychological care. Ukraine will need a massive long-term effort to heal not only its infrastructure, but also its people.<br><br>Long-term solutions<br>9. Pursue a phased agreement, not the illusion of an instant peace<br><br>The most viable peace process will likely happen in stages:<br><br>a verifiable ceasefire<br>protection of civilians and infrastructure<br>prisoner exchanges and humanitarian corridors<br>international supervision<br>phased negotiations on territory and security<br>reconstruction backed by guarantees<br><br>It is unrealistic to believe that a single summit will resolve everything overnight. Durable peace is usually built step by step.<br><br>10. Ensure justice and accountability<br><br>Without some degree of accountability for crimes and destruction, peace remains fragile. Not because justice solves everything by itself, but because impunity invites repetition. A settlement that ignores accountability may calm the front temporarily while planting the seeds of a future war.<br><br>11. Limit the role of third parties that help prolong the war<br><br>When it comes to China, the useful objective is not fantasy or emotional rhetoric. The real goal is diplomatic and economic pressure to discourage any facilitation of military supply, technology transfers, or sanctions evasion. Pressure may not solve everything, but it can shape behavior and narrow the aggressor’s room to maneuver.<br><br>What the best president would do, responsibly<br><br>If I were acting as a truly capable head of state, my strategy would be simple and disciplined:<br><br>First, save Ukrainian lives immediately through air defense, energy protection, hospitals, shelters, and emergency state financing.<br>Second, tighten the economic and technological pressure on Russia’s war machine.<br>Third, push for verifiable mini-agreements even if total peace is not yet possible.<br>Fourth, build serious security guarantees so that Ukraine is not left vulnerable again.<br>Fifth, preserve international unity so that the war does not become normalized or forgotten.<br><br>What does not work<br><br>Calls for extermination, global war, or covert attacks do not work. They risk a far worse escalation, with more deaths and less control. It is also unrealistic to demand an immediate, total victory when the reality of this conflict is shaped by attrition, foreign aid, sanctions, economics, energy, and diplomacy all at once.<br><br>The best possible outcome<br><br>The best outcome is not a fantasy of total humiliation for the other side. The strongest realistic outcome is this:<br><br>Ukraine alive, protected, and capable of defending itself; Russia contained, sanctioned, and pushed toward negotiation; civilians exposed to less suffering; and an international structure strong enough to make future aggression far more difficult.<br><br>Final presidential-style closing<br><br>A truly great president does not promise endless destruction. A truly great president promises something better:<br><br>to protect the innocent, to ensure that aggression is never rewarded, to sustain the nation under attack, to impose legitimate consequences on the aggressor, and to create a path that reduces suffering without betraying justice.<br><br>That is what real leadership looks like.<br>Not hatred.<br>Not fantasy.<br>Not cruelty.<br><br>But courage, discipline, humanity, and the strength to defend peace without surrendering principle.

It’s ashamed that the destiny of a nation being compromised by oil tug nations encouraging pease talks with murderous regime

Iran government slaughter 42000 Iranian protestors in 2 days with AK-47 Iran torture, kills &amp; hungs Christians, Jews, lgtbq+ and anyone who owns a Bible &amp; preach about JESUS

it was a route ! and the U S A stopped ?

It’s Iran territory so that’s there upper hand. Cant blame them for that , CNN is anti Republican ! They shift words to put down and Crate fear because We have a Republican president.. they show there A$$ so well.

indeed trump has no shame.

It’s great watching and reading these idiots suffering from TDS. Most are probably siding with Iran, and the WEF. It must hurt to see your plans not quite working out. Good wins over evil, but the evil is everywhere and good people have to stand strong. It is easier to be evil bastards, Satan is always looking for weakness.

CNN continues to suck Meanwhile <br>Great News America 🇺🇸 President Trump says he’ll fire worthless Jerome Powell next month if he stays in his role at the Fed

Cooper you talk BS when you open your mouth 😂

Wait... Are you suggesting the US is less trustworthy than the nation behind most terrorism?

How to stop the war 1. send Trump to the mad house. 2 pick any random NATO nation that have not close relation with Russia, and let them talk insted of any person from Trumps people. Let the adult handle it professional. 3. remove any aid or defence agreement with Israel if they dont agree. 4. continue have a dialog.

Are not 99% of Trumps negotiation people just uneducated influencers...

Only democrats defend drug dealing communist dictators and the number one state sponsor of terrrorism on the planet.

TDS.

The copium is real

Experts? Meaning Trump haters? Cnn is completely incapable of fairness

<b>America&#39;s clown 🤡 grovels for &quot;ceasefire&quot; to slink out of his mess. Iran? Laughing. World knows the pathological liar 😅😂.</b>

<b>American Clown 🤡 is begging for a &quot;Ceasefire&quot; as he is looking for a smooth exit from this &quot;Mess&quot;. Iran is not begging for sure. No-one in the world believes &quot;Pathological Liar&quot; 😅😂</b>

Send Barrack Obama in to sort this mess Donald Duck created! Barrack Obama will get it done in 16 hours!!

Can we get those boots on the ground? I want to see something!!😂😂

chinese tanker get out from iran with no problems. was up trump😂😂😂😂😂

&quot; experts&quot;

Swalwell for president…his campaign is “I will choke the hell out of crime”

Hmmm, US now manages or controls 85% of world oil and exports 50% of Europe&#39;s LNG, killed top lunatic Iranian leaders, returned the world to the petrodollar, proved chinese weapons used by Iran are useless, show how useless and antiquated NATO is and the the arrangement must be revisited. Only idiots think Trump is an idiot. Research Game Theory #18 little liberal chicken heads. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Simple, honest, answer, which, of course would never come from a station like this, they can’t possibly admit Trump is winning or that he has done a great job so they need to focus on all of the negative possibilities you can dream up.

Time is never on the side of the IRGC...time favors Trump....you just wait and see...I don&#39;t think there&#39;s going to be only sanctions release and not physical money like Obama did...

The scriptures did suggest rest in piss how one chooses to use it well do as will.😂😂😂 pessimist pissy mess

I think that Pakistan has nclear is that correct , if that was correct it must have stopped in mediate way.

Yes because Iran has 71 professional negotiators and we&#39;ve got Jared, Steve, and JD.

From uranium ore to wepond grade 235 fuel utilizing laser inrichment technology will speed up the process. 20 years is completely fair and reasonable.

Vance served as a yes man reporter in the marines. No bullets, no risk. Found an out of state tech bro billionaire sugar daddy to get him elected as a US senator, with zero experience, and after 2 years orienting himself to government, he become the vice president to the narcissistic sociopath he previously described as a Nazi. What could go wrong here?

The killing of ayatollah is unacceptable continue you will come home

What a waste of time listening to these so-called analysts. The hubris is flabbergasting!

Yes, Sephora Vance should at least plan on spending a few days overnight. Look at the history of negotiations the past half century.

DEFINE EXPERTS .................... Guess I can be an expert ... if CNN says it

what kind of bullshit is that?<br>If you, as the USA, go to war, you don&#39;t negotiate so that &quot;everyone got something&quot;. The other side survives. That&#39;s what they get.<br>That is what winning a war means.<br>If the USA is at a negotiation where &quot;everyone got something&quot;...the USA lost.<br><br>There are only two ways to go. Winning or loosing. And winning means capitulation. Everything else is loosing because that fascist terror regime in Iran learned that they can controle the US at every moment they want to.

IMPEACH TRUMP.

Why doesn&#39;t Iran just stop the filling of the oil tankers...?

CNN supported the Gaza Genocide. This fact is not going anywhere, FYI

🤔all about the money, Trump is manipulating the market, Vance was sent on a fool&#39;s errand.

They&#39;re going to remain pessimistic because they know this war will end soon. They have to get in front to oppose the President. Whatever he does, these people will oppose.

Trump has Iran on the ropes! The blockade will bring their economy down and they know it!

To most Iranians—both inside the country and across the world—the way some Democrats publicly defend or minimize the actions of the IRGC is deeply painful. Iranians finally have a chance to break free from a brutal, tyrannical regime, yet the intense hostility some Democrats hold toward Trump has led them to turn their backs on innocent people who are being crushed and executed every day.<br><br>As an Iranian, it is heartbreaking to hear you speak as though supporting the IRGC is acceptable. Many of us grew up believing Democrats were the most educated and principled, but that same education now seems to have pushed some away from caring about truth or acknowledging the suffering of real human beings.<br><br>And let’s not forget: it was a Democratic administration—under President Jimmy Carter—that played a role in enabling this regime to rise to power in the first place.

The “doomsday” news channel

CNN is nothing more than a propaganda machine masquerading as a news network.

Why even bring this useless Biden guy – who under his watch, Ukraine and Gaza war began??

Economic blockade to China and total boycott???

Donald Trump claimed he knew the Iran war would end because he felt it in his bones—a gut feeling. But wars aren’t about instincts; they require detailed pre-war planning, clear strategies, defined goals, and backup plans when things go south. Trump was impulsive and avoided strategic thinking, ignoring Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine’s warning that an attack could prompt Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz. CIA Director John Ratcliffe dismissed Israel’s claim that the operation would lead to regime change as “farcical.” Calling Iran’s 10-point peace proposal “workable” only showed how out of touch Trump was. Running the war “by the seat of his pants,” he might just need a sequel to his book *The Art of the Deal*: *The Art of the Schlemiel*.

It’s disgusting how cavalier these people are about lying straight to our faces just to support this war. Killed 30,000 or 40,000 people in one weekend? Just think about it—even if you dropped a bomb in the middle of a protest, you might kill a few hundred at most. At that rate, you’d have to drop hundreds of bombs to reach numbers like that. Killing that many people with guns in such a short period would be physically impossible. Imagine a pile of 40,000 dead bodies—has anyone even shown anything like that?

Bull shit. Where did you get the 30,000-40,000 Iranians killed? Its an American fantasy. How was the fugure verified? And Cooper, you didnt challenge the figure?😮

Oh hes not using two weeks anymore?

USA cares two hoots if its debt is in trillions or its citizens/world beings are suffering. Its current govt. has only 1 goal to suppress, collapse, contain, destroy other rivals/countries systematically utilizing illegal, unjustified &amp; nefarious methods.
<br>The main target is CHINA &amp; its achievements.
<br>Despite their differences &amp; temporary non-cooperation, ISRAEL/USA/UK/NATO/EU still operate hand-in-hand. Behind the scenes military, IT, security intelligence intel &amp; others passes through.

Release tRUMPstein NOW

Trump and his master Netanhyu are the world‘s terrrlsts

When FANTA won’t allow Iran to move its oil out of their ports, why will the MULLAH allow Yanks and Friends move vessels out ?

Lol he said Pakistien

These commentators - ‘they don’t have much to give’, ‘they need to feel like they are getting something’ such nonsense. They have a whole list of things to give (US list of demands) and they would be getting their lives and the survival of the regime ! Trash commentators

Over the past year and a half, what has the president achieved for the American people beyond his pre-election campaign promises? We can&#39;t recall anything significant, but the president did manage, through immense pressure, to secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. However, it&#39;s worth noting that the entire American people are essentially hostages of Israel!

Those 30000 deaths were in part cause by Trumppet telling them help was on the way. Look how that turned out! The art of the deal? Ye right! Clueless moron

The strait is now known to be a vital waterway for the globally economy. Even if we come to a peace deal with Iran now if we ever attack them again, guess what they’re gonna do take a guess. Right now, Iran knows that they hold a major card that they can play at any given moment. We can make lots of demands of the country, but they can always say closed even after we leave they can tell you know what we changed our mind and we have to bring all of our battleships back. We have to send all of our troops back. This is the nightmare scenario that every US president made sure to avoid because they knew once you opened Pandora’s box, you couldn’t close it. Thanks, Donald Trump. Now we are winning.

Credit goes to Pakistan ❤

😂😂😂EXPERTS...NO.....SCARED MEN THAT IF THEY DONT AGREE OR ANY PUSH BACK ON THAT PEDO YOUR FIRED.....PERIOD

Was there demonstrations or a sponsored coup by Israel?

20k to 30k does not sounds correct

Donald Trump has done a lot to unite the people in Iran.

He brought experts with him? Was that a joke?

If you leave me ill hurt myself 😂

Send Pope Leo there to end this

Forget peace talks these people want to fight you’re wasting time trying to negotiate

The most disingenuous things about the news nowadays is that they lend ANY credence whatsoever to the words that come out of the Orange idiot’s head. My dog has more connection with reality and tells the truth more often.

I&#39;m not sure why Iran is even talking

It is clear to me that no matter what happens in this conflict that CNN is committed to a narrative of defeat and catastrophe. If this was WW2 CNN would be reporting that our soldiers were foolishly entering the city of Berlin and were being killed by thousands of children dressed like soldiers.

These people criticize all the time and have no solutions other then give up

Because your navy has no balls

did anyone think that Iran is doing the same thing USA did? Pretending to negotiate to get the wanted result: blockade without war?

How low must a country like the US have sunk to allow this thoroughly incompetent Kushner, hoisted onto the world stage through nepotism, this no less incompetent Putin sycophant Witkof, and finally this Vance, who is only notable for his loudmouthing and changes his tune depending on the advantage, to conduct these negotiations so important for world peace and trade instead of experienced and shrewd diplomats?

Does there come a time when you Americans realize that Iran, with 5,000 years of continuous civilization is actually a government not a regime, and look at you, over the past 50 years killed millions and you feel civil

hope so talk swill goes well but jared and witcoff will tryna make it definately impossible

The bumbling idiot in the White House has given the Iranians the moral high ground. Now what ever happens in the negotiations the Iranians come out on top ,they will force concessions out of the U S and this definitely was not part of the US <a href="http://plan.how/">plan.How</a> the mighty have fallen. To make America great again, is going to be a monumental challenge, which will face a new administration.

America can&#39;t keep it&#39;s word..treaties made, treaties broken

Trump is playing 3 dementia chess.

Failed war <br>Failed president <br>Failed propaganda machine<br>Failed country

Name the 40,000 people who were killed in one weekend 😅. Do even think before spewing propaganda?

&quot;Why experts remain pessimistic even if Iran negotiations resume&quot; ??? Are you joking ? Trump&#39;s the answer and everyione knows it. Fell in a trap everyone knew about nad how to avoid, but Orange Genius In Charge not simply fell in... but make sure to be in. He is a joke, his administration&#39;s a joke. The problem is giving credibility to him and his administration.

I wouldn&#39;t trust JD with a pair of scissors. Meanwhile, his boss is watching guys give each other brain damage. Best to assume that my country won&#39;t have fuel or fertiliser shortly.

US eyes potential second round of in-person talks with Iran as blockade takes hold: <a href="https://cnn.it/4tcbuBQ">https://cnn.it/4tcbuBQ</a>
