Officials are coming to a troubling realization about Iran’s repeated threats to kill Donald Trump & former top generals: Tehran isn’t bluffing — and it isn’t giving up anytime soon - Politico alleges.

The U.S. government is still coming to grips with the Iranian threat and hasn’t yet found a sustainable way to to protect all those who are at risk for as long as they need, creating an opening for Tehran to make good on its threats - Politico essentially says the U.S. Secret Service can't protect Trump very well.

The measures will be directed towards American media so that they understand what it is to be bullied....So that they think about what kind of state they live in & what evil they serve - Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman #Zakharova says.

The plan has a clear mathematical component. But we cannot speak publicly about the details. It has logic, and our representatives explain how to read the tables in it. Why today there is no point in contacting the Russian Federation, and why there is no room for compromise - Podolyak claims.

Decision on not negotiating with Russia concerns the impossibility of negotiating with #Putin. As for the possible participation of Russian representatives, our position remains unchanged: when the plan is ready, we do not rule out the possibility of the presence of Russian representatives at the second summit - Yermak oh so valiantly and nobly claims 🙄.
