A “New Deal” With Iran? US Officials Say It’s Unlikely
There’s “no harm” in talking with the West, Iran’s supreme leader said in a recent speech, sparking hopes among some of the country’s adversaries that a nuclear treaty could be on the horizon.
But verbal assurances aren’t good enough, according to twice-shy U.S. officials. From the State Department: “We are far away from anything like [a deal] right now.”
Last month, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Iran could produce enough enriched uranium fuel for a nuclear weapon given less than two weeks’ notice.
“Where we are now is not in a good place,” Blinken said. “[Iran hasn’t] produced a weapon itself, but that’s something of course that we track very, very carefully.”
A previous deal between Iran and the U.S., brokered in 2015 under Obama, came to a heated end during Trump’s presidency with the then-U.S. president calling it “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.” Under that deal, Iran agreed to limit its uranium stockpile and nuclear facilities in exchange for relief from crippling sanctions. But the fragile agreement was swiftly broken, as Iran expanded its nuclear capacity far beyond the negotiated limits.
“This disastrous deal gave this regime … many billions of dollars, some of it in actual cash,” Trump said of his decision to terminate the arrangement. “At the heart of the Iran deal was a giant fiction that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy program.”
Biden, in turn, spent more than a year of his presidency negotiating a fresh compromise. These efforts led nowhere as both sides complained of each other’s “unreasonable” demands. Meanwhile, U.S. sanctions on Iran seem to be doing little harm to the country’s economy, despite National Security Council claims that no sanctions have been lifted.
“Iran is deriving significant economic benefits from pervasive sanctions evasion,” more than a dozen senators warned in a bipartisan letter earlier this year. “Iran’s economy [is] growing by four percent annually.”
That’s a more rapid GDP growth than the U.S. has seen in decades, except immediately post-COVID when the economy began to recoup its losses.
Any conflicts with Iran–including the ongoing Israel-Palestine crisis–have obvious ramifications for global oil and gasoline markets. Shortages, sanctions, and retaliations could lead to price spikes that will eventually trickle down to consumers at the pump. These markets, in turn, drive green energy policy as officials seek alternatives to gasoline-powered vehicles. Any shortage of fuel suggests EV production will steadily increase, and more inflationary regulations will be imposed in an attempt to force consumer compliance.
That’s the best-case scenario. If the U.S. becomes actively involved in any such crisis, the economy could pay the price for the leaders’ failure to broker a peaceful solution. From Peter Schiff: “[Middle Eastern conflict] is going to be increasing our deficits, more fiscal stimulus which is inflationary, and that is going to result in bigger deficits and more money printing.”
While the U.S. government has pledged to use “all elements of national power” to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, the absence of a clear diplomatic path raises serious questions about the potential economic fallout. Investors are left in a precarious position, trying to hedge against the risks of both a diplomatic failure and the possibility of military conflict. The stakes are high, and the financial markets are keenly aware that the consequences of missteps in this arena could ripple across the global economy, impacting everything from energy prices to interest rates and beyond.
Watch: RFK Jr. Red Pills Fox Audience on Seed Oils, Toxic Food Substances
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. exposed the dangers of ultra-processed foods, seed oils, and the federal system that supports them during a recent appearance on Fox & Friends.
In an incredibly informative health segment last Saturday, Kennedy dropped red pills on how the FDA essentially subsidizes the ultra-processed food industry literally making people sick and driving up health care costs.

“Seed oils are one of the most unhealthy ingredients that we have in foods,” Kennedy said. “And seed oils, the reason they’re in the foods is because they’re heavily subsidized. They’re very, very cheap, but they are associated with all kinds of very, very serious illnesses, including body-wide inflammation, which affects all of our health.”
“About 75% of the FDA’s budget comes from regulated industry, and that means food processors and pharmaceutical industry, all of them profit from a sick population,” he added.
Kennedy went on to break down how food coloring is a “petroleum product” banned by European health regulators.
“It’s associated with depression, it’s associated with autoimmune injuries and ADHD. These and red dye also is very bad. In Europe, the same companies are producing the same products, but they’re using natural coloring. But here they can get away with it.”
“We have about almost 1,000 chemicals that are in our food, that are either outright banned in Europe or actively discouraged,” he added.
The 2024 independent presidential candidate who recently endorsed Donald Trump went on to point out the government food stamp program props up the ultra-processed food industry.
“We subsidize it with about 70% of our food stamp program is to process foods, which are all poison.”
He also explained the importance of avoiding dangerous pesticides by eating organic foods:
Yeah, I mean the irony is, for example, my wife loves kale, and she had the impression that kale is actually good for you. If it’s organic, it’s very good for you, but most kale and strawberries, for example, grapes, are contaminated with pesticides and particularly the Environmental Working Group has found what they call the “Dirty Dozen,” some of the worst pesticides on these products.
So…I look at a strawberry and I think, ‘Oh, this is a healthy food,’ but in most cases, unless it’s organic, certified organic, you are getting something that’s actually hurting you.
The interview underscores RFK’s keen understanding of the deliberate unhealthiness of America’s food supply and how he plans to “Make America Healthy Again” now that he’s partnered with Trump.

Studies Suggest Nutrition Can Lower Dementia Risk
Dementia, the general loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other cognitive skills may be less of a threat to those with the right nutrition, numerous studies indicate.
“There is extensive evidence supporting a relationship between diet and cognitive functions,” a study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
That study went on to list several nutrients that were found via an ‘intensive search’ of PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases for prior research.
“The findings of this systematic review suggest that supplementation of B Complex vitamins, especially folic acid, may have a positive effect on delaying and preventing the risk of cognitive decline. Ascorbic acid and a high dose of vitamin E, when given separately, also showed positive effects on cognitive performance, but there is not sufficient evidence to support their use. The results of vitamin D supplementation trials are not conclusive in assessing the potential benefits that vitamin D might have on cognition,” the study said in the ‘Conclusion’ section.
While dementia is a serious degenerative disorder, it’s not always the cause of cognitive decline.
An article by Zoey Sky in Natural News detailed how artificial flavors, food colors, sweeteners, inflammation, infection, mold, Lyme disease, mercury and other metals, prescription medications and hormonal imbalances all may cause cognitive inabilities.
Another study documented how the food choices of one’s diet can affect nutrition which in turn can affect the brain’s performance or lack thereof.
“Consuming a balanced, nutritious diet is important for maintaining health, especially as individuals age. Several studies suggest that consuming a diet rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components such as those found in fruits, nuts, vegetables, and fish may reduce age-related cognitive decline and the risk of developing various neurodegenerative diseases,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
Another study documented how a lack of certain nutrients can result in dementia.
“Concurrent nutrient deficiencies are associated with the risk of dementia. The potential of optimizing nutritional status to lower dementia risk warrants further study,” the study said in the ‘Discussion’ section.
One study looked at the nerve growth factor potential of Hericium erinaceus (lion’s mane mushrooms).
“Nerve growth factor (NGF) has potent biological activities, such as preventing neuronal death and promoting neurite outgrowth, and is essential to maintain and organize neurons functionally. It is assumed that functional deficiency of NGF is related to Alzheimer’s disease and plays a part in the etiology of the disease process,” the study said. “Hericenones (compounds in the Hericium erinaceus) exhibited stimulating activity for the biosynthesis of NGF in vitro.”
An article by George Citroner in The Epoch Times chronicled how three vitamins, B, D and Omega-3 can reduce dementia risk.
An article by Emily Henderson, B.Sc. in News Medical documented how people with higher levels of vitamin D in the brain have better cognitive function. Vitamin D is the cheapest vitamin to procure, as it can be generated in the body from sunlight.
A study found that Omega-3 fatty acids can increase cognitive function.
“Consumption of omega-3 improved learning, memory ability, cognitive well-being, and blood flow in the brain. Omega-3 therapies are beneficial, well-tolerated, and very low-risk,” the study said in the ‘Conclusions’ section.
Another study analyzed PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases and found that vitamin B is effective in slowing cognitive decline.
“This meta-analysis suggests that B vitamin supplementation is associated with slowing of cognitive decline, especially in populations who received early intervention and intervention of long duration; the study also indicates that higher intake of dietary folate, but not B12 or B6, is associated with a reduced risk of incident dementia in non-dementia aged population,” the study said in the ‘Conclusions’ section.
