Fact Check: "Time is running out for a diplomatic solution with Iran."

What We Know

The claim that "time is running out for a diplomatic solution with Iran" reflects ongoing tensions and the complex history of negotiations surrounding Iran's nuclear program. According to a timeline of nuclear diplomacy, the P5+1 nations (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) reached a significant nuclear agreement with Iran in July 2015. This deal aimed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for relief from sanctions. However, the agreement has faced numerous challenges, particularly after the U.S. withdrawal from the deal in 2018 under President Trump, which led to increased tensions and a series of escalations in military actions and rhetoric between Iran and Israel, as noted in recent reports (NBC News, New York Times).

Recent diplomatic efforts have been described as faltering, with no breakthroughs reported in high-level meetings between Iranian officials and European leaders (NBC News). The Iranian Foreign Minister has expressed skepticism about the possibility of negotiations, citing ongoing aggression as a barrier to trust (NBC News). This context suggests that while diplomatic avenues are still open, they are increasingly precarious.

Analysis

The assertion that time is running out for a diplomatic solution is supported by the current geopolitical climate, where military engagements and aggressive posturing dominate the narrative. The timeline of events indicates that diplomatic efforts have repeatedly stalled, particularly following the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal and subsequent sanctions that have exacerbated tensions ([source-2]).

Critically, the credibility of sources discussing the current state of diplomacy varies. For example, reports from established news outlets like NBC News and The New York Times provide detailed accounts of the ongoing conflict and diplomatic efforts, but they also reflect the biases inherent in their coverage, especially given the polarized views on U.S. foreign policy in the region. Furthermore, the historical context provided by the timeline of nuclear diplomacy is essential for understanding the long-standing issues that complicate any potential resolution.

While the claim is grounded in the reality of stalled negotiations and rising tensions, it is important to note that diplomatic channels are still technically open, albeit under significant strain. The lack of trust and the aggressive military actions by both Iran and Israel complicate the landscape, suggesting that while time may be running out, the situation is not entirely hopeless.

Conclusion

The verdict on the claim "Time is running out for a diplomatic solution with Iran" is Partially True. The assertion reflects the current state of diplomatic efforts, which are indeed under severe pressure from military conflicts and a lack of trust between the involved parties. However, it is crucial to recognize that diplomatic channels remain open, and while the situation is urgent, it is not entirely devoid of potential for resolution.

Fact Check: Transcript 00:00 For all of their strutting about protesting that they support democracy. Not a one of them gave a damn about democracy when they pulled Biden off the ballot and dropped Kamala Harris in without a single Democrat primary voter voting for him. And you know what? Not a single Democrat is here today because not a single one of them gives a damn about the fact that they lied to the American people for four years. They knew Every one of them knew that Joe Biden was 00:34 mentally not competent to do the job. The White House Press Secretary. She knew when she stood in front of the American people and lied over and over and over again and they're not here because they can't defend themselves. It wasn't a surprise for four years the White House hid President Biden from Republican Senators. Would not let him meet with us. He served 40 years in this body. We all know him. And they deliberately lied and by the way Jake Tapper had a bombshell 01:08 book exposing the incredible scandal that Biden's mental decline was covered up by Jake Tapper. There's a Yiddish word and that truly is how dare we lie and cover up what we all knew. Now I have been asked literally a thousand times by Texans. Was running the country? And I'm going to give 01:40 you the most terrifying answer. I don't know. I genuinely don't know. And not a single Democrat here cares. The most telling proof of Biden's decline came with the signature of the president. The symbol of executive authority that was outsourced to a machine. Mister Wald you're a lawyer who served in the White House Council's Office. You understand the gravity of presidential action. Does the president's signature 02:10 carry legal and constitutional weight under article two? Yes. Is the act of signing an executive order or signing a law or granting a pardon a delegable duty of the president. Uh so in that opinion in 2005 from OLC they said essentially that an autopin could be used by a subordinate but the president's determination as to sign the document can never be delegated. Can that authority 02:41 be transferred to a staff or a machine without the president's explicit authorization? Never. And if you look at the statistics, the statistics are stunning. In 2021, President Biden issued 78 executive orders. None were signed with an auto pen. That first year the presidency, Biden I suppose was relatively lucid and 78 executive orders he signed by hand. The second year, however, we see the auto pen emerged. 03:15 The first auto pen executive order was issued on 15th 2022. After that day 100% of the executive orders issued in 2022 were signed by an autopen. In 2023 Biden issued twenty-four executive orders. 16 were auto penned. In 20twenty-four Biden issued 19. 14 were auto penned. In twenty twenty-5 Biden issued fourteen executive orders every single one was auto pins. 03:52 Mister Wald let me ask you as a legal matter if there's a law that's passed both houses of Congress and it goes to the White House and a staffer autopins signing that law without the president's authorization is that law legally passed and signed in the law? No. If an executive order is issued and a staffer autopins it without the president's authorization, is that executive order legally binding? No. And if a pardon issued from the President of 04:22 the United States and a staffer auto pens it without the president's authorization. Is that pardon legally binding? No. Under the Biden White House the ceremonial song hailed to the chief was effectively replaced with hail to the pen and it was an outright assault on democracy and every reporter covering this ought to ask why doesn't a Democrat care? We heard about the moral responsibilities of a staffer. 04:54 How about an elected senator who knows damn well that if we get into a war and Iran is preparing to fire a nuclear weapon at the United States that the commander in chief is busy playing with his jello and he's not competent to defend ourselves and every member of the cabinet, the chief of staff, the press secretary, and the members of Congress who lied about this on a daily basis with the press's complicity. They are all responsible for subverting democracy. Angry Ted Cruz is perhaps my favorite version of 05:27 Ted Cruz because when he's getting history on it, you might want to take a listen. He is definitely angry that there's some acting going on here in the line of hail to the chief change from hail to the pen that's not a smart line but it's still the truth. The truth is in this video right here ladies and gentlemen. The change in the way Joe Biden used the autopin is a steady upward moving graph from twenty twenty-one to the end of his presidency in early twenty 05:58 twenty-five. Okay? That is a noticeable issue. And if he does not directly authorize the autopin we've got We've got grounds to go through every single law Joe Biden has signed that way and perhaps ignore them all together. There's way more evidence behind the autopin theory and hopefully it ends up sticking. I I hope it does because I think this is in a way worse than the Bill Clinton perjury case. Cuz Bill 06:28 Clinton basically lied before Congress lied directly to the American people lied under oath. This is worse in a way. Because lying under oath means that you know where the truth is and you're just hoping to get away with it and there's a direct law. This however Signing with the auto pin is more opaque. It is an ultimate he said she said and you're dont rate the opinion oo just fact if there is

Fact Check: Donny’s sent Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to ‘interview’ Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving twenty years in prison for trafficking teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein. wait, did I say Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche? I should have said Donny’s personal attorney Todd Blanche — because that’s what Todd was before Donny appointed him to the DOJ. how convenient, to have one’s own personal attorney running interference as the second-in-command at the DOJ. so Blanche is talking to Maxwell. here’s the adminstration’s official bullshit cover story, as dutifully stenographed by the worthless scribblers of The New York Times. The interview with Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is part of the department’s effort to quell criticism that it is concealing details of Mr. Epstein’s crimes and interactions with high-profile figures, including President Trump. oh, I see — they’re ‘quelling criticism.’ how in the holy name of fuck does that work? does anyone believe that justice is what this is about? if you do, I have five bankrupt casinos in Atlantic City to sell you. we all goddamn well know that Blanche is down there offering Ghislaine a deal. it’s probably something like ‘exonerate Donny. tell everyone he did nothing wrong, and Donny will pardon you on the spot.’ you’d be naive to think otherwise. because that’s how the most corrupt administration in the history of corruption rolls. it’s a fucking cover-up, is what it is. let’s go to Akaash Singh one more time: ‘they’re hiding something CRAZY.’

Fact Check: Transcript 00:00 911 was a false flag. For the first 10 years, I did not think anything other than the official narrative then after being shown a video, a close up video of building number seven coming down and that got me going because it's obvious to me that building seven was was a controlled demolition because the building collapses from the bottom down. The trade centers were unique in that they were designed to withstand the 00:33 impact of a a a jet. From what I understand the the outer skeleton of the building. The outer columns was like a a fish net and you had these inner core columns which was substantial thick steel beams to withstand four or five times what the loads were. Got it. The engineers always over design a building. No steel frame building has ever collapsed before or since 9/ eleven. So that should say something right there. And it said that building seven it was 01:05 aggressive collapse that it was caused by fire but progressive collapse unlike the twin towers, the twin towers collapse from the top down. That's a progressive collapse. Sure. Floor by floor by floor. But if you look at the videos of building seven collapsing, it collapses uniformly, it's collapsing from the bottom, the building stays intact all the way to the bottom of the ground and you could see the sides caving in on it. For a building to collapse uniformly which the video show all the load bearing it would have to have failed 01:36 simultaneously. Now, fire doesn't act like that. I came across an analogy of the twin towers and if you could visualize cast iron stoves stacked. One on top of each other. The stoves up at the top. Yes, there's fire and they've been damaged but the stoves on the bottom, they haven't been damaged. Okay. So, the structure underneath all of that is intact. So, it's impossible for a building to collapse near free fall speed and increase. Without a 02:07 controlled demolition. You're running into the path of most resistance. I something else is going on. I don't believe that it was just the planes or the fires I think that and they examine the dust and they found what they call thermitic material which is like a explosive incendiary which was in the dust samples and that's documented. There were reports of the buildings were undergoing a extensive elevator renovation in the two or three years prior to all kinds of 02:40 workers they had access to the the core the cores of the building and on the day of the attack the the elevator company would not assist in the operations of the elevators and the elevator company was the elevator company it subsequently went out of business and a couple of years after that

Fact Check: Some insane breaking news coming out of the White House as we are now learning that President Joe Biden 73 days between his transition of him leaving office and President Donald Trump becoming president there was a discrepancy in which they actually gave out over $73 billion dollars in loans to small and medium businesses. However, they can't find the list of who they gave the money to. They are now doing congressional hearings on what happened to the money whether or not the money was actually ever given to any 00:32 small or medium businesses. Of course, Joe Biden had no comment as he doesn't recall any of those situations going at the time and now is admitted that his staff was using an auto pen in order for them to sign whatever they need from him in order to move forward and that these loans were likely a part of that auto pen

Fact Check: Reality is a flux of endlessly changing phenomena. Concepts freeze this flux and present it as something fixed and stable. This distortion is a lie: we treat unequal things as if they were equal, thereby misrepresenting them. Nearly every word is a concept, and every concept is a simplification of a unique, unrepeatable experience. When we name something, we group many different and unequal experiences under a single term. This act of generalization ignores the actual differences between individual things and moments. Humans invent words generally based on their sensory experience. Those words become concepts, not exact representations. Over time, we forget the metaphorical origin and treat the word as “truth.” Words aren’t truths—just metaphors that have been socially stabilized. Words do not describe the world—they construct a simplified fiction of it, which we often mistakenly call “reality.”
