This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. U.S. President Donald Trump launched an expletive-filled tirade against Iranian leaders during a recent Oval Office meeting, according to a person who heard the comments. The outburst, which included references to Iranian officials as “scumbags” and “lunatics,” reflected the president’s growing frustration as the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its fifth month with no resolution in sight. Trump had initially predicted the war would be over in weeks, but both a ceasefire announced in April and a memorandum of understanding in June have collapsed, according to reports [2][4]. President’s Expletive-Laden Tirade…

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. After having heard the same line many, many times before – and yet with no result (instead, more often the opposite of sliding into further conflict and escalation) – Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday welcomed the “progress” made between the United States and Iran in indirect negotiations.
