Hot off the press.
Tehran has formally submitted its response to a United States proposal to end the war, Iranian state media reported on Sunday without providing details.
“The current phase of negotiations is focused exclusively on the cessation of hostilities in the region,” Iran’s IRNA news agencyreported Sunday afternoon. Tehran’s response has been submitted via Pakistani mediators, according to the report.
“For now, we have decided to focus on ending the war, because this issue is a matter of concern for the entire region, for our nation, and for the international community,” Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told local media before news of the response emerged.

Tehran responds to US peace proposal, Iran state media says

The U.S. and Iran have submitted multiple peace proposals since Pakistan brokered a ceasefire between the two sides in early April.

Not that it'll make any real difference, but I'll feel better just knowing that Scrotus is not on US soil on the 14th-15th.

But I'm sure he'll make up for lost time once he gets back, sigh. I expect a deluge of shit 'truthing', bragging phone calls to media sycophants, and at some point a speech glorifying himself and his lack of any accomplishments during his sessions with Xi.

So the Iranians have sent to the Pakistanis their response to the US peace proposal, ....two fingers rampant?

Let's hope some common sense hits them all ( Trump, his administration, the Iranians, including the IRGs) in the head and they stop the shitshow. And including Israel, who is never taken into account, never invited to the talks. It will have to be Thor's hammer to hit them if we want anything to get to sip through their thick skulls. And I think Netanyahu and his lot willbe very difficult to control indeed.

Trump Mobile T1 Preorder Customers Face No-Ship Warnings and Non-Refundable Deposits

Grok summary of the story.

Announced in June 2025 by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the $499 Android phone promised patriotic features like an etched American flag, but nearly 11 months later, no deliveries have happened despite shifting launch dates from summer 2025 to early 2026 with no firm timeline now. Recent emails to early customers cite April 2026 terms allowing the company to skip production entirely at its discretion, sparking widespread frustration online from critics and even some supporters. While unverified claims suggest hundreds of thousands paid deposits, the company's site still promotes the plan and offers interim device options, though refunds require email requests amid reports of support hurdles.

Trump's hoping his visit to China will knock this growing story off the news.
I think there's a story about his "Golden Visa" too. Will look for it.

Trump took $59 million from 590,000 Americans for a phone that may never exist. Then quietly updated the terms: “No guarantee a phone will be produced or sold.” The crypto coin. The sneakers. The Bible. The gold card. The ballroom. The phone. Every...

You can't make it up. The phone's made in China!

Nearly a year after Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump unveiled the Trump Mobile T1 phone with promises of American manufacturing and jobs, experts now believe the device may actually be connected to a Chinese company called Wingtech.
The controversy exploded after the Trump Organization quietly removed the phrase 'Made in USA' from the product website while thousands of frustrated supporters continue waiting for phones that still have not arrived.
...

Wingtech is a large Chinese technology and manufacturing company involved in smartphone production and supply chains. The firm has worked with several electronics brands and is known within the industry for producing affordable Android devices and components.

(That's cheap to you and me)

The controversy is politically explosive because Trump Mobile heavily promoted the phone as an American-made alternative to foreign tech giants. Donald Trump has repeatedly criticised China's manufacturing dominance and pushed for more products to be built inside the United States.

And the idiots poor unfortunate souls who ordered one will somehow blame Biden, Hillary and/or Obama (natch) for the lack of phone.

Apart from lies and hot gas air, has the 🍊💩 ever successfully produced* anything?

Edited to quote full quote (Sky News)

Now Tasnim quotes "an informed source" in reply.

The source says President Trump not being satisfied with the response is "naturally better".

We just now saw the reaction of the "so‑called President of the United States" to Iran's response. It has no importance; no one in Iran writes plans to please Trump. The negotiating team must write plans only for the rights of the Iranian nation, and when Trump is not satisfied with it, naturally it is better.
Trump generally does not like reality; for this reason he is constantly defeated by Iran.

Does he now need to restart the war to distract people from his Made in America phone fiasco?
It's clanger after clanger...surely people in the WH Regime must be starting to be embarrassed by now.

There was issues with the payment too apparently.

Sculptor Behind Gold-Leafed Trump Statue: 'This Was Chaos' (miaminewtimes.com)

I suspect there might also be issues that such an expensive gift to POTUS has been installed on his golf course. I thought such things belonged to the State, not the individual.

However, that might be solved if Trump finds out the sculptor has a rainbow flag in his workshop.

I was expecting Turd to accept the deal, but keep the contents secret. Then, you know, just lie.

"I won bigley. Iran gave me all their nuclear dust, and I sent my own plane (free of charge to the world) to fetch it, and I will keep it under lock and key at Mar a Lago (the BEST private club in the WORLD). And also the most secure location in the United States. Nowhere is safer. I will keep it, because the RADICAL left will want to give it back. Thank you for your attention in this matter, which is now closed. "

On this golden calf Trump. Limited stories on it where I am, but I can get France 24, and one line really got my attention.

"Let me be very clear. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone,"

This fella said that :

"Televangelist Mark Burns, an ally of the 79-year-old billionaire president who led the dedication ceremony, quickly sought to get ahead of any claims of idol worship -- which is expressly forbidden in the Ten Commandments."

Hmm. So the big fella Himself is not worshipped then ? I am not sure all Christians would agree that they only worship Jesus, and not his dad.

Article linked below. Worth a read, because the mental gymnastics are astounding.

Golden Trump statue is no idol for worship, pastor insists (france24.com)

Golden Trump statue is no idol for worship, pastor insists

A massive gilded statue of President Donald Trump installed at his Miami golf course is definitely not a "golden calf" to be worshipped, the pastor who led a dedication ceremony for the eyebrow-raising…

Well there are VPNs for officials. For "research" apparently. So he can just give his phone and password to an official, and dictate what he want's posted. That would work :-)
