It appears our Government is lying to us about the Iran war...

[spanone]

But we lifted sanctions yesterday because Vance called this a major concession from Iran and great progress.

1. Oh My!

You mean the US regime lied?😀

[spanone]

2. I know, it's SHOCKING!!!!

[ananda]

28. I'm shocked I tell you, shocked!

...

[Katinfl]

3. We are at a place in time where we can no longer believe or trust in the government. How sad.

[sindri]

11. I believe and trust the current administration...

to always lie and act only in their own self-interest especially if it involves cruelty to others.

[Bluetus]

24. Well, can anybody identify any clear lies the Iranians have told since Trump started bombing?

It is not wise to trust anybody with a vested interest in anything. But practically everything Trump has said since the beginning of this "excursion" has been a lie. I am trying to recall any similar lies that have come from the Iranians.

[Srkdqltr]

4. Or... the Iranians are gaslighting? There is no way we can know.

Just have to believe the side you trust. Oh ✋️ wait we can't trust either side.

[EdmondDantes_]

6. That's my response as well

When all sides are known liars, it's best to not trust any of them.

[Kaleva]

7. Time will tell

18. Here's my take, which is speculation based on the track record in this sorry mess:

Readmission of inspectors was discussed as a possibility during current negotiations, but no actual agreement or protocols were reached at this time.

Vance is lying because the administration is desperate to show that Iran is making concessions. The Iranian spokesman is factually correct, but not telling the whole story.

Diplomatically, Vance claiming the concession has already been made when it has not, makes the concession less likely.

Trump sent amateurs to handle extremely difficult negotiations, and he handicaps them with lies, insults, and unhinged vascillating rhetoric which includes threats that violate the MOU -- actually threatening the lives of the negotiators.

The whole world sees this. It's painful to think about the depth and breadth of harm to America's reputation, and how long it may take to earn respect and trust again.

[Nasruddin]

25. On target

We have to keep in mind all sides in this conflict are complete liars - not always in the same way or to the same ends.
Our side for example routinely lies to steer public opinion and reinforce the cult.
In addition the Boss lies to get himself out of sticky public embarrassments and probably to soothe himself. The man called Vance surely does the former. Then there’s the Boss’s confabulations.
We can only reason based on actions.

[sboatcar]

27. They had to send amateurs, they fired most of the career diplomatic officials

And then somehow they expect the cronies and low level folks that remain to be successful, particularly when the president tends to blow up the whole negotiation process is moving.

[Timewas]

5. Our Government Lying?

Damn, who woulda thought?

[Srkdqltr]

8. I know, amazing.

[twodogsbarking]

9. The governmennt lying, death, taxes. You get it.

[Martin Eden]

10. When it is more prudent to believe a spokesman for the Iranian regime...

... than the Vice President speaking on behalf of the President of the United States, it is time to change the regime here at home.

[Ray Bruns]

12. The Trump administration lied?

[PatSeg]

13. "It appears our Government is lying to us about....."

Fill in the blank. Might be easier to just list what our government HASN'T been lying to us about.

[state of stupid]

20. That would be a very, very short list.

[PatSeg]

21. Absolutely

And the lack of public trust in government could be the point.

[lastlib]

14. *--* Gasp! *--*

I am APPALLED and SURPRISED!




Not.

[Martin68]

15. Yup. Their lips were moving...

[Torchlight]

16. As there's no real or measurable benefit otherwise, I'll presume

Tehran's assertion accurate, and just one more tall tale from Mr. trump's habit of saying anything except the truth.

[SergeStorms]

17. NO!

The Trump administration lied to us? 😭

Say it's not so, please!

What's the point of my life going on anymore?

[dave99]

19. The Iranians are telling truth. Our piece of s___ Republicans are LYING !

[MineralMan]

22. Ya Think?

[spanone]

23. trmp has proven that he is the most prodigious liar of all times.

[Ocelot II]

26. It's not a good situation when reports from both sides are unreliable.

I don't trust Iran and I don't trust Trump's minions even more.

[moondust]

29. Now ask IAEA Chief Grossi.

He should know and I doubt he would lie.

[republianmushroom]

30. Vance, lying. Damn, I'm shocked.

What is this world coming to. Vance lying, damn.

[snot]

31. Really weird: public radio this morning

quoted Vance's claims about the agreement at great length, with little or no mention of Iran's disagreement on various important points.
