FACT: Obama did this and actually got them to stop enriching uranium past 3.67%, with inspectors on the ground and cameras on the centrifuges.
Trump tore that up.
President Trump is the ONLY one who could have gotten Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism — to the negotiating table.
We are greatly encouraged to learn a PEACE DEAL in Iran is underway — and look forward to learning more about the specifics.
Under President Trump’s leadership, our nation is stronger, more respected on the global stage, and safer than ever before.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Obama and other world leaders have been able to get Iran to the negotiation table

This video is from this morning at 9:45am in Jamestown of the Deep River. You can see the watermark from the height of the river by the line of leaves stuck to the side of the tree.

The first snow is bittersweet in WNC this year. There are still many people without power and a warm place to sleep…

We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I’m sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth.

To correct the record, the local media has been covering the severity of the issues. From my news colleagues in Charlotte to those in the Triad and beyond. There will be a continued effort to do so including the small communities many of our equipment can’t get to right now.
As the news media FINALLY begins covering the severity of the issues out west, there will be a heavy focus on Asheville and the greater Buncombe County area. Rightly so, as I am sad to report that the loss of life in that area is expected to be significant. We hope and pray for a better outcome, but we are prepared for the worst.
What the media will probably not be reporting on are the dozens of smaller communities across western North Carolina that too find themselves without water and life-saving supplies. Many of these communities have received virtually ZERO state or federal support. We are working tirelessly to ensure that these areas are not forgotten.
Our team has a growing number of leaders on the ground working hand in hand with law enforcement to execute search and rescue missions, as well as to deliver life-saving assets not only to Buncombe County, but to all areas that otherwise may have been overlooked.
Please continue to pray for the people of western North Carolina and their loved ones.

Residents across Western North Carolina are starting to have power restored due to the tireless efforts of local power crews and also out-of-town power crews who are here to assist after the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. Read more: bit.ly/3zCqh2k
