Trump: Only reason Iranians are alive ‘is to negotiate’ US president Donald Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social that the Iranians have “no cards” and said that “the only reason they are alive is to negotiate. ” “The Iranians don’t seem to realise that they have no cards, other than a short term extortion of the World by using International Waterways,” Trump wrote in the post. This comes as a ceasefire hangs in the balance between the US and Iran ahead of peace talks in Pakistan.
