From Maximum Pressure to Maximum Pleading: Trump Turns to Iran’s Allies for a Negotiation Opening

According to the political desk of Saed News, a knowledgeable source told Fars News Agency that U.S. President Donald Trump is under severe political pressure as the deadline for negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran approaches.

The source stated that the outcome of this process could be nothing less than a loss of political credibility for Trump and potentially an early collapse of his administration.

The source added that the U.S. Secretary of Defense under Trump has also felt threatened by the situation. Concerns over national security were cited as one of the reasons behind the recent dismissal of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Secretary now believes that “Dan Erickson” will soon take his place.

Furthermore, the source noted that “the recent two-day crisis in Isfahan” has significantly increased pressure on the White House. Over the past 24 hours, the U.S. government has reportedly reached out to every country it believes holds influence with Iran, pleading for cooperation.

As evidence, the source pointed to separate communications between five allied heads of state and eight intelligence agencies with Iran, all attempting to open a channel for a ceasefire. These efforts explicitly highlight pressure from the Israeli regime and Jewish lobby groups on Trump, suggesting he faces escalating pressure—a reality Trump understands but, according to the source, “cannot accept this strategic setback.”

The source emphasized that Trump is clearly seeking a meeting and an agreement. The U.S. proposal reportedly involves removing “Whitaker” due to his closeness to Netanyahu’s circle and negotiating with “Vance” to establish a serious pathway, contingent on responding to Iran’s requests.

Finally, the source noted that Americans believe fuel prices will surge explosively starting next week and are unwilling to take that risk.
