Strategically, one (the Iranians, in this case) doesn't call any part of an negotiating state, idiots unless a widely supported deal is close at hand ... No, one holds onto their idiocy and uses it as the reason the negotiations failed.

I really wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a detailed (and positive) negotiations status release, in the next few days ... close enough to the election to sink a certain candidacy.

The non-Jews who want the war mostly are into weapons sales and might be stoking the fires a bit to get more money and sales.

Even Saudi Arabia and Iraq, who don't particularly like Iran, probably wouldn't put up with it, especially if they know it's masterminded by Netanyahu... Some things will unite these enemies, and an attack on Iran who is working on an agreement with so many nations, would be just the ticket to do it.
