Senior officials in the Trump administration clarified to Israel that the United States will insist, during the negotiations scheduled to be held in the coming two weeks, on the removal of Iran's nuclear materials, the prevention of uranium enrichment, and the elimination of the ballistic missile threat.
Statement by the Secretariat of Iran's Supreme National Security Council:
"The noble Iranian people must know that, thanks to the sacrifices of their sons and their historic presence on the battlefield, the enemy has, for over a month, been pleading for a halt to the intense fire launched by Iran and the Axis of Resistance. However, the country’s officials—based on a decision taken from the outset to continue the war until its objectives are achieved, including forcing the enemy into regret, incapacity, and the removal of long-term threats to the country—have rejected all such requests. The war has continued up to today, the fortieth day. Iran has also repeatedly rejected warnings issued by the President of the United States and continues to affirm that it gives no importance to such threats from the enemy.
Now, we bring good news to the great Iranian people: most of the war’s objectives have nearly been achieved, and your brave sons have brought the enemy to a historic incapacity and lasting defeat. Iran’s historic decision, backed by popular consensus, is to continue this battle—whatever the cost—until its major gains are secured and new security and political equations are imposed in the region based on recognition of the strength and sovereignty of Iran and the Axis of Resistance.
In this context, and in accordance with the directives of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, and with the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, and in light of Iran and the Axis of Resistance’s superiority on the ground and the enemy’s inability to carry out its threats despite its claims—and its formal acceptance of all the Iranian people’s demands—it has been decided to hold negotiations in Islamabad to finalize the details. Within a maximum of 15 days, Iran’s battlefield victory is to be politically consolidated as well.
Accordingly, after rejecting all proposals submitted by the enemy, Iran has prepared a 10-point plan and presented it to the American side via Pakistan. The plan includes key points such as: regulated passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Iranian armed forces to enhance Iran’s economic and geopolitical standing; ending the war against all components of the Axis of Resistance; withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from all bases in the region; establishing a secure navigation protocol in the Strait of Hormuz ensuring Iran’s control under agreement; full payment of compensation to Iran; lifting all primary and secondary sanctions as well as UN and IAEA measures; release of all frozen Iranian assets abroad; and enshrining all of this in a binding UN Security Council resolution. The adoption of such a resolution would turn these understandings into binding international law and represent a major diplomatic victory for the Iranian people.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan has informed Iran that the American side, despite its public threats, has accepted these principles as a basis for negotiations and yielded to the will of the Iranian people. Accordingly, it has been decided at the highest level that Iran will enter negotiations for only two weeks, based on these principles, in Islamabad with the American side. It is emphasized that this does not mean the end of the war, as Iran will not accept its conclusion until the details of these principles are secured through negotiations.
These talks will begin, with complete distrust toward the American side, on Friday, 21 Farvardin, in Islamabad. They are set for two weeks, with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement. During this period, it is essential to maintain full national unity and continue celebrations of victory. The current negotiations are national negotiations and an extension of the battlefield, and all segments of society, elites, and political currents must support this path under the supervision of the leadership and avoid any divisive statements. If the enemy’s surrender on the battlefield is transformed into a decisive political achievement in negotiations, we will celebrate this great historic victory together. Otherwise, we will continue the fight side by side until all the demands of the Iranian people are achieved.
Our hands remain on the trigger, and any small mistake by the enemy will be met with full force."

I should read de Tocqueville, so I can join the majority of Americans who have read him.
Wishing the best for you and your dad
Oof I'm sorry.
But at least your team isn't the only team in the MLB not to have 3 wins so far.

I had a dream where I lived in an apartment down the hall from my grandmother, and she was like a constant stressful presence, never giving me any space and always spying on me and demanding attention. Then I partially woke up and I reassured myself that everything was fine because I'd moved far away from my grandmother and didn't have to live near her anymore. Then I fully woke up and remembered that my grandmother died when I was a child.
