1. Thread: Trump's speech trashing the Iran deal/regime ended with a twist: "Iran's leaders," he said, "Are going to want to make a new and lasting deal, one that benefits all of Iran and the Iranian people. When they do, I am ready, willing, and able" theatlantic.com/amp/article/55…
2. Why is this notable? It's clear Trump never read the 159 pages of the JCPOA. As @RichardMNephew best put it, he would likely renegotiate and sign a worse deal if it was called the TRUMP IRAN DEAL. Trump isn't a dogmatic war-hawk-like John Bolton-but a shameless egomaniac
3. In fact, although it has been little-reported, Trump actually tried to meet with Iran's leaders, just as he's been amenable to meeting with Kim Jong Un. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
4. An Iranian source told me Trump invited Rouhani for dinner in NY the day after his speech trashing Iran at the UNGA. Macron urged Rouhani to join, but Rouhani did not have @khamenei_ir's permission. The Iranian media actually first broke the story: en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?…
5. This leaves @khamenei_ir in a tough spot. He loathes/mistrusts the US and may oppose dialogue with Trump on principle. But if the unraveling of the nuclear deal potentially precipitates an unraveling of his regime...he may have to swallow his pride nytimes.com/2018/05/08/wor…
