Opinion: There is no negotiating with Iran — Trump must stop trying

By Jonathan Sweet, Mark Toth Verified

Suspense over whether Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and give up its enriched uranium and nuclear weapons programs expired on Tuesday last week without incident. President Trump said the U.S. was “ locked and loaded ” to launch an operation against Iran that would have been the “biggest attack since World War II.” He also said this was Tehran's “ last chance ” and that the regime faced “ decapitation ” if they didn't make a deal.

August 13th, 2026 Greetings from Puerto Rico! Intrep360 with Sweet & Toth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. My wife and I departed Oahu Wednesday afternoon as news that Tropical Storm Lara is bearing down on the Hawaiian Islands – likely becoming a Category I Hurricane before it makes landfall on the Big Island on Saturday. Our thoughts and prayers are with Hawaii. Puerto Rico could use the rain though.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Opinion and analysis.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Badly dating myself, but yes. I even took typing in junior high. Thumbs were only allowed on the space bar.

How is social media changing news?

It is speeding it up. Especially OSINT Twitter feeds that are changing how wars are reported.
