Does Iran Comprehend Who Iran is Negotiating with and about what?
Iran thinks Iran is negotiating with Trump about restrictions being imposed on Iran’s rights under the non-proliferation treaty.  Iran is totally incorrect.  This is a proxy issue.  Iran’s real issue is with Israel, and it is about Iran’s right to exist.  The Zionist agenda of Greater Israel, the foreign policy of the Netanyahu Israeli Government, requires the elimination of Iran as an organized sovereign state.  Why does the Iranian government think that Iran’s continued existence is something they want to negotiate?
