The Iran government are wold-class-bastards and thinking that they're one iota more trustworthy than Washington or Tel Aviv is madness. If they're telling the truth, that's incidental to the truth serving their momentary interest.

If Tehran says water is wet, the sky is blue, or Trump is lying, it's worthwhile to double-check

True. But are they one iota less trustworthy?

I feel like they’re all about the same.

Trump triggered the Iran war to distract from the epstein files, but has not wasted any time using it to manipulate the market to himself and his benefactors benefit.

Man, that's what happens when you straight up kill top government officials: you have no one reliable to negotiate a piece. Putin knows it. Zelenskiy knows it. Why the fuck Trump didn't know that?
