Trump aims to cool tensions in Middle East, but Iran is probably not ready to negotiatePresident Donald Trump appears to be paving the way for negotiations with Iran as tensions in the Middle East escalate and oil prices rise.

Pentagon to increase military deployments in Middle East amid rising tensions with IranActing Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said additional deployments might be required to protect U.S. interests in the Middle East, amid 'credible' threat from Iran. Smoke show. Remember when he was gonna pull the troops and everyone got upset? Now it’s inferred we should worry about war. Just ignore it. Looks deceive, US is no longer number one, all thanks to Trump and his “well thought trough trade wars”. This is looking for a way out of this mess, call it diversion. If China even raise prices on rare earth materials, maybe as a reaction to war threat, Bad for everyone Trump's actually selfish and evil enough to start a war and send American soldiers to die to distract from his corruption and the cover ups. How sad is that.
