By and large, all the regime leadership has been taken out. There is a vacuum. Different groups and different individuals are jockeying to gain that central spot to lead the new Iran.
Some might be part of the old regime, but have flipped. Example, the President. (If he was 'part' of the Regime, how's he not dead?) The foreign minister. (Same question). etc.
A) If there were actual discussions between a group led by either of these and the Trump administration, they would deny it until everything was settled, and in place. (I mean, how much would Cabal controlled Israel love to wipe out the option of a deal between the Trump USA and a new Iran?) This would easily explain the public mainstream narratives, wherein the President or the remaining 'regime' threaten the US, etc.
Whatever the public narratives are, we can be sure that the actual reality is NOT being told. That's just not how war works.
B) There might be a new group of individuals and influential figures in Iran that are not aligned with the old regime, who want to end the war, restore Iranian sovereignty without the regime, and they are talking with the Trump Administration. They offered very good deals, i.e. oil, energy, if they can claim leadership with American approval.
A few things. Trump saying "this tells me we are talking with the right people' indicates that he considers the gesture (I personally think its a deal or promise of some sort, rather than a material gift) to mean their ascendancy would be good for his (USA) objectives.
So when Trump is saying "they" and "I don't trust them" he is talking about the regime faction, but when he says "They" and "they did something that was amazing", he's talking about the potential new leadership of Iran.
"They said they were going to give it and they did, so that tells me we're dealing with the right people."
He did say it "arrived", so it might be some material thing, but he also said it was oil and gas related, so...??
"Cos, you don't know...." Trump is explaining that they are working with unknowns. All the regime leadership has been liquidated, and you are left with a vacuum, so he's talking with people who need to show their good faith, and prove that they are sincere.
"Everyone is gone, but we're dealing with a group of people that I think <mumble> turn out .... the present the gift they made to us was very significant."
Remember: Fog of War. The propaganda machines will churn, spin narratives that are NOT the reality, but if you join the dots outside the narratives, the picture begins to become clearer.
Hey "FractalizingIron"... please take a bow and don't forget...A LOT OF US LIKE YOU'RE WELL THOUGHT OUT screeds. They are VERY insightful and thought provoking...SO THERE...👅👅👅👅👅👅👅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
China recently gave Iran their latest anti-aircraft defense system. Perhaps the Iranian leadership is turning over their latest Chinese military gear so the U.S. can study them.
It could also be a guarantee that every ship entering an Iranian port from here on will carry U.S. Government insurance only and fly the U.S. flag.

My read was that it's information of some kind that can prove that these people are legit. I can't listen to the video right now, but when i first heard it i distinctly remember hearing the word "proves" when the reporter asked why he would trust them.
Maybe intel related to Iranian assets in the strait. Maybe codes to unlock some oil infrastructure. Maybe be locations of booby traps in the strait
NB: Lots of fear mongering going on. Oil shock, prices, rationing of fuel (outside the US), lockdowns - don't travel so much, etc.
Me? Ordering another shipment of popcorn. Worst case scenario? Heck, I survived 2020 and 2021 in (my country). I can survive pretty much anything at this point.
I'm guessing Kharg Island. Iran's main oil terminal. This would cut off the flow of money to the old regime (hopefully leading to collapse) and provide leverage over countries that rely on Iranian oil. If the old regime collapses and the Basij/IRGC troops defect it will clear the way for the people of Iran to take back their country.
I wonder what the present is ... at first I thought "Uranium" but he said its not nuclear.
This is how it sounds to me.

My new browsing pattern on GAW. Click on thread link. Ctrl-f "FractalizingIron". Read thoughtful commentary. Upvote.
kek.
few and far between....
Way too generous, fren!
Fortunes have been lost through the same folly!
Actually, thanks. Very generous.

All seem like very plausible suggestions.
How exciting!

Anyone panicing about oil prices can learn a thing or two from the great toilet paper panic if 2020s in Australia 😂
For me, of someone asked what would i be willing to pay for world peace, i have to say 2x gas prices perfectly okay fits me!
A list if Republican Guard members and home addresses as well as hidey holes.
Control of the Strait of Hormuz?
My thoughts yeah, soverign control of Kharg Island.
Just imagine a massive US military presence there on officially recognized US territory.
Then the next step is maybe trade Kharg Island for Greenland or something like that.
Could be ....
Sounds plausible.
That was my first thought also bb and later in the Q & A he was asked if it was related to the Strait and he replied, "Yes, gas and oil"

Can't wait to find out..
Me too. We live in interesting times!
Yes…Trump said it was oil and gas related…

Probably their own Julian assange level worth of Deadman switch. A hard drive full of exposed Epstein files?
