KEY POINTS
- •President Trump said on Sunday Iran proposed negotiating a nuclear deal while protests rage, killing hundreds.
- •Trump discussed taking 'very strong options,' including military strikes, but emphasized non-kinetic actions like cyberattacks and carrier deployments.
- •He also mentioned possibly asking Elon Musk to restore Iran’s internet via Starlink amid days of blackouts.
On a historic episode of 'How to Mix War and Tweets,' President Trump revealed Iran asked to talk nuclear deals—right between crushing Iranian protests killing hundreds. With over 544 reportedly dead, Israel estimates 1,000 protester casualties, and Trump juggling hourly death tolls while dropping gems like 'some weren’t supposed to be killed.' Negotiations will happen if they happen, possibly squeezed between strong military options and his frustrating need to ping Elon Musk for Starlink internet because Iran’s blackout got them buffering worse than dial-up in 1999.
