U.S., IRAN TALKS FIRST IN MORE THAN A GENERATION … STAKES ARE INCALCULABLY HIGH
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION APRIL 10-2, 2026) — This weekend will mark the most important two days of the “war” with Iran.
THE PLANET employs quotes not because Congress never authorized the president’s actions but because Israeli warmonger and terrorist head Benjamin Netanyahu declared this conflict. President Donald Trump admitted that he gave consent only because U.S. intelligence knew beforehand of Israel’s unilateral decision to start this conflagration. It was a startling admission, essentially admitting what many suspected but few wanted to believe, namely, that the Israeli lobby — not the Commander in Chief, not Congress, not the State Department — was controlling America’s foreign policy.
The world will not forget that it was Israel and the U.S. that brought on this global crisis, not Iran. Preemptive war is one thing. Prejudicial war is another.
Dan Valenti’s new book is on sale now in pre-release. “The Laughorist” calls SANITY MADE SIMPLE “Valenti at his best, both witty and profound.” Buy now at amazon.com and all Barnes & Noble Booksellers. Paperback just $14.95, e-book $4.95.
Be that as it may, beginning Saturday and scheduled to continue into Sunday, the United States and Iran will meet face-to-face in serious talks for the first time in a generation. Negotiations will take place in Islamabad, Pakistan, with the U.S. delegation led by Vice President J. D. Vance. The VP’s assignment signifies that Trump has tossed Iran a bone.
———- ooo ———-
One would expect such talks to be under Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but in sending Vance, Trump sends the message that he’s taking the talks seriously. Vance, a moderating influence in the White House, is the perfect choice if the negotiations are to having any chance of success.
Hampering him, however, will be the presence of hawkish businessman Steve Witkoff and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. Both men are Israeli cheerleaders and incapable of the clear-headedness needed in such high-level talks.
Each side enters the talks having already offered its respective “peace plans.” Trump sent Iran a 15-point proposal. Iran answered with a 10-point document. The two plans show stark differences, with the main sticking points being Iran’s ballistic missiles, its nuclear enrichment program, and control of the Straight of Hormuz, through which flows 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas. Iran wants to keep all. The U.S. insists “no.” Iran also wants a guarantee that against future attacks by the U.S. and Israel as well as war reparation in the form of cash.
———- ooo ———-
The current two-week cease-fire hangs by a sliver of a fraction of a speck of a frayed string. One the truce’s first day, Netanyahu inflamed Iran by launching 100 air strikes in Lebanon. One of them killed 189 civilians. Iran said the strike violated the ceasefire. The Israel said Lebanon wasn’t included in the cessation of hostilities. The U.S. split the difference, saying that the confusion results in an inaccurate translation of the ceasefire terms into Farsi. In response, Iran shut down the Straight, defying President Donald Trump and restricting traffic to only 5% of normal flow.
Lebanon President Joseph Aoun called Israeli’s strikes in southern Lebanon a “barbaric atrocity” tantamount to genocide. It’s clear that Netanyahu is doing all he can to scuttle the ceasefire and the weekend talks between the U.S. and Iran.
The implications for America, the Middle East, and the world are enormous, for obvious reasons. If the talks fail, there’s no telling where the situation will go.
THE PLANET wonders if the talks are simply a ruse for the U.S. to build an off-ramp out of a huge foreign policy blunder. True, America has won all of the military encounters, but we did the same in Vietnam. You’ll recall how that one turned out. In these types of tarpit foreign entanglements, winning all the battles does not equate to “winning the war.”
We will know much more come Monday.
Have a great weekend, everybody.

It is Iran’s extremist regime, not Iran, that must end in 2026.
Similar to Germany’s extremist regime under Hitler, not Germany, that ended in 1945.
October 07th, 2023, was the largest mass killing of Jews since the Holocaust.
Israel and the U.S.A.’s War against Iran’s extremist regime has merit on many levels.
Iran’s extremist regime are mass murderers. Ending them in 2026 would be like ending Hitler 100 years ago before he rose to power.
Blogger Dan Valenti is right that nobody should want War. I hope for successful negotiations, too.
You guys are lucky if my mind-wits in my forty -sixties on here were in effect. Ok Jon. My I Q was a moxie 137 in 1970. Plus I had street smarts. Unlike you Jon.
I Also served my Country honorably and was honorably discharged. So if is not within you to stop throwing these repetitive negative stones, grow some hay and come back to your favorite home town and do something about it.
Or take a que from the Planet and fight for what you believe in.
Stop being a Buffoon.
Jonny is a gay peaceful man. You are a neandrathal who talks a big game and tries to bully people like matt cufflinks kerwood does. jonny melle for mayor of Pittsfield
My money is on this meeting blowing up in the first ten minutes. Jared is representing Israel and Israel does not want this war over. And since they own the US government lock, stock and barrel the whole thing is merely a charade. Almost all senators and congressman from BOTH parties accept AIPAC money.

How do you negotiate with someone who wants to destroy everything and everyone…including
themselves??
You do know you are describing trump to a tee?
It is a peculiar feature of what is called willful blindness. Some don’t want to confront evil, so they refuse to see it, at times they
even rationalize it.
Genuinely appreciated this one.
Escalation with no clear control.
A ceasefire that’s already cracking.
And sudden, high-stakes talks that feel less like strategy and more like urgency.
This is a situation slipping, and everyone can feel it whether they want to admit it or not.
Another history illiterates opinion,
Napoleon when faced with stalled conflict, escalated to gain advantage.Can Iran escalate?
Iran has one card, and it has no effect on America.
Closing the straight, hurts China and Iran.
Icymi – Iran is now targeting Saudi pipeline (7,000,000 gal a day) because, next move is destroying Kharg island and Irans economy along with china –
As your TDS addled, if Putin can’t obtain cheap Iranian drones, its attacks and defenses , are severely limited.
Trump and rest of world, are praying, Irans hubris and fanaticism, allows further destruction.

New regime..The Eagle and Planet will exclusively control the Straight on here. Nothing commented or published unless agreed by both party’s.
Dan will start charging for this site. Or nothing goes through.
All of these items will be abided by in this truce. Unless it involves other entities, such as Lebanon and the current misinformation of that current deal.
And Dan will protect the enimemy of all characters on here unlike one c I a who is not reporting American Casualties and the unprotected soldiers in the Arab states. Protect our Soldiers Orange Aid.
You could be a negotiator ………for Iran
Exactly Tom. Vendetta ChatGPT and Meanwhile are so blind with TDS, they just repeat democRAT/MSM anti-Trump talking points without any thought to it whatsoever.
These are the same people who scream, “we don’t need to be the world’s policeman,” and when Trump is threatening to end the US’s military campaign against Iran, because as you posted Tom, the US (Trump) has accomplished what WE NEEDED to do and not be the world’s (Deep State funded wars) policeman anymore.
How quick people scramble to post “Trump lost,” “another endless war,” “you won’t see Trump’s kids sign up for the draft.” Did I miss any?
So what is it? Do you want another Iraq-type war? Or worry about American interests and American taxpayers once and for all.
I choose the later.
Vendetta or Meanwhile, remind us what you posted about on here when Bathhouse Barry Obama drone struck and killed US citizens in the Middle East. I don’t recall. Not to mention, Barry wasn’t known as the Drone Strike King for nada.
I thought and still think Obama was the best president of my time. And if this country is ever going to be put back together, and it is going to take a generation, it will need someone like him.
And I hope it does not hurt your feelings that I say it out loud Markus but perhaps take a couple of valium before you respond so that you don’t go trump-wacky and sound like a nutcase.
It will take decades to recover from the damages Sotero inflicted upon America and Americans.
I suspect he was one of the Autopens running the country 2021-2025.
*Russian (taxpayer funded) Hoax
*Libya (Christopher Steele’s death-read why he was there in the first place).
*Pallets of CASH (billions) flown to Iran overnight (we are basically fighting against our own US taxpayer funded weapons Smart Guy).
*Illegal FISA Court Warrants
*FBI Raid Mar-a-Lago (what were they looking for Meanwhile?-answer below)
*Crossfire Hurricane
*Conspiring to overthrow a duly elected president (Treason)
*Illegally Spying on US Citizens and elected GOP members of congress.
*Weaponizing IRS (against Christian conservatives)
*Weaponizing DOJ to go after political opponents.
*Orchestrated 2020 stolen US elections.
*Orchestrated a non-violent coup against a duly elected president (Autopen) without a single vote or primary.
That’s what you call “the best?”
How about the ruined healthcare business? Gave a billing matrix to insurance companies that allows them not cover non-diagnostic tests. Cash for Clunkers nonsense (interventionist economic policy with unintended consequences of driving consumer debt and spurring unnecessary consumption). Signing Paris Treaty that forces the US to make expensive cuts that impact energy and industry so China and India could expand their economies. And Hillary’s parallel government driving foreign policies on private servers.
Somehow, after eight years, that second-rate constitutional lawyer worth mere millions of dollars became a billionaire, and he hangs with the in-crowd – Clinton and Bush.
My experience is that healthcare, both financially and in the practice itself, has gotten so much worse since Obama left office. In fact it seems worse every few months. Does anyone else really think theirs is better now?
Worse. Downhill since the Affordable Health Care Act. Mandated expensive plans that charged huge deductibles.
The actual care wasn’t bad – it was the fact that insurers were give free card to charge huge deductibles, exempt coverage for exams for existing conditions, and extensive coinsurance charges.
Then, with COVID, the providers stopped routine cancer examinations.
D-Maura Healey gave all the states medicare funds to CRIMINAL ALIENS.
Tom, you’re acting like this is a simple history lesson with Napoleon Bonaparte.
You keep saying Iran only has one move, but that’s not true. There’s a lot more going on than just one card.
And bringing up Putin and drones doesn’t explain everything either. All that was said is that things feel messy right now. The ceasefire isn’t strong, and everything feels rushed.
You don’t have to agree.. but calling someone “illiterate” just makes it sound like you are mad not that your actually right. That’s boomer energy.
To me, that’s very decently stated. You deserve a good deal of response. Thanks.
I would counter that regardless of where the center of gravity is in this war (the street, Hormuz, China/Russia?), what is evident is that Iran is in a precarious state. Their Arab trade partners will never trust them, Iranian businesses are packing their bags for friendlier sites, the rumblings of hate from the street is a terror for the murderers, and they still have the US Navy parked on their border.
I wouldn’t guess how this progresses, but I hope the Iranian people get justice and peace.
When this is over Iran will be trading with China which has the most integrated supply chain in the world. They make most everything Iran will ever need. China also has massive world wide construction capabilities and are building bridges, highways, dams, high speed trains and green energy across the globe and far cheaper and better than can be found anywhere else.
China needs lots of oil. Iran has lots of oil. They will rebuild Iran back better than it ever was and get a good price on oil in return.
And this relationship has been ongoing and getting ever stronger and is ONE of the main reasons for the war. The cabal is trying to nip it in the bud. You must look beyond mainstream media (which is effectively in shackles) to get any truth to anything these days.
So worse case – nothing changes.
He’s so blind with TDS, he doesn’t take a pause to think it all the way through.
If Whoopi stated it, it’s a fact in Meanwhile and Vendetta’s world.
You must have been captain of your college debating team. Hard to top those hard hitting rebuttals you just offered up.
A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wiseman quietly holds it back.
Figure that one out Meanwhile.
That’s my rebuttal to you.
How many letters you get on the HS masturbating team?
China persecutes Muslims
Tom calling anyone “illiterate” is really rich.
This is a man who writes like punctuation personally betrayed him. Half sentences, random caps, thoughts stitched together like a ransom note, and somehow he still thinks he’s delivering a lecture.
You didn’t just miss the point, Tom. You lost it somewhere between “Napoleon” and whatever that sentence was supposed to be about pipelines.
Nothing hits quite like being called illiterate by someone who clearly drafts in chaos and hits send mid-thought.
I could spend my morning coffee dragging you back into reality, but the front page of the Eagle is serving a far more urgent disaster than your comment. Some fires put themselves out. Others just aren’t worth the water.
What gives on the Napoleon comment? It’s a small tremble on his point: Iran capacity to escalate is limited by it’s inability to absorb loss.
They will beg us to play a card that may be too costly for us to play not militarily but collateral. That’s a strong position, but we can make a strong one too. Option to destroy Kharg would likely result in political cost at home as oil prices skyrocket and loss of life. But, we now have warship in the Strait, so our pieces now control a greater theatre.

Good luck!
I agree with Democrat John Fetterman that President Trump is making the world a safer place by disarming Iran. Doing nothing or giving Iran billions in cash like Obama did is just not an option. I remember 10 years ago people feeling sorry for Iran and saying they really are trying to comply with the rest of the world, but they were funding terrorist organizations with all of that cash from Obama. I wish we could just hide our heads in the sand and only worry about our own country, but we can’t have this terrorist supporting country having all of these dangerous weapons especially nuclear weapons, but even ballistic missiles.
Thanks, PAT. That’s a defendable point of view.
With ALL this being said. We ALL Love the Planet!,,,,ya just can’t spell Valentine with our spelling……just sayin….
That’s the point. They don’t have nuclear weapons. Without Barack’s payment. Negotiation before War…. every time. Thought your boy was the deal maker. Buffoon.
And Pat. How’s your promised economy and Russia Ukraine end promised by your leader doing. Buffoon
I’m loving our recent tax returns since everybody is getting a lot more money back. Grocery prices are better than the Biden years. I’m buying lots of eggs at much lower cost. I don’t drive an SUV so gasoline prices are manageable. I’m loving the Trump years much better than the Biden years. Thanks for asking.
Hilarious article about PHS needing new windows and doors “but can the city afford it”?
I have two suggestions to the mayor who is having trouble with this conundrum.
2. Perhaps let the Goldkang Group pay for their own ballpark multi-use emporium and use that taxpayer savings for a taxpayer owned project

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,
I read that Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu released her fiscal year 2027 municipal budget proposal this past week of early-April 2026. I read that many other Massachusetts municipalities released their new budget proposals, too.
Why hasn’t Pittsfield’s Mayor Peter Marchetti done the same?
What is going on with Pittsfield’s high finances whereby….”Earl and the 2-Pete’s Pittsfield politics pounds, pummels, pulverizes, punishes people’s purses”?
Is the ANSWER that Pittsfield’s Commercial tax rate is the 2nd highest in Massachusetts out of the 351 municipalities in the commonwealth; Holyoke is 1st?
Is the ANSWER that Pittsfield spends tens of millions of dollars MORE per fiscal year than its peer similarly-sized small cities? To illustrate, in the current fiscal year 2026, Westfield spends over $62 million LESS per fiscal year than Pittsfield. They are peer similarly-sized small cities in Western Massachusetts.
It the Answer that Pittsfield has an estimated close to $1 billion in municipal debts PLUS its unfunded liabilities (its other future debts) that will be paid off by Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Unicorns, and “Jon Melle the have NOT”?
Is the Answer that Earl and the 2-Pete’s may wait to the last possible minute to release their record-breaking city spending proposal to have the least amount of time for public scrutiny?
Is the ANSWER: ALL of the ABOVE?
I have a proposal. Pittsfield’s budget gets cut by tens of millions of dollars per fiscal year to bring it in line with its peer similarly-sized small cities.
I have a request. Pittsfield’s politicians always saying that they want more state aid needs to STOP already because it is HOT AIR that is not solving the city’s financial crises.
On a separate matter, it is NOT nice that someone wrote and posted that I am being a BUFFOON. I am Autistic. I understand that while I am able to think well, I don’t have “street smarts” given my social impairments that makes me a disabled man and Veteran who served Honorably.
I want my native hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, to WIN. I want Massachusetts to WIN. I want New Hampshire to WIN. I want the U.S.A. to WIN.
Jon Melle
JM: There is a person who signs his work ‘buffoon.” That’s his name, obviously.
On another front. The d p w director doesn’t want a TOUR of what City taxpayers are paying over $160 million at the water facility upgrades without rigorous consideration.
Nope. Vitchfield goes the same way as our federal government. Spend. Our OPEB bill rivals Orange aids current 37 trillion national debt.
You have Autism. Or you don’t. Your comments represent Buffoon Traits. Doesn’t have anything to do with your malady l
The real BUFFOONS are the career politicians in Pittsfield who are pretending to manage your taxpayer dollars, but instead, they are doing the same city budgets going back decades that are costing taxpayers an excessive amount of money in return for….I won’t write it because I don’t have to say it anymore.
The city council wants a tour of the amount spent at the water plant. Back in the eighties there was a tour. There were two people standing side by side with the builder. Michael Dukakis,then Governor and Senator John Kerry.
Councilor Costa is complimenting the do over again Commisioner for modernizing our water rates??????? Latest proposed do over? Linden and Onota bump outs.
Curious – did they ever provide water meters to qualifying residents? Or, are they still looking for a plumber to install them? Or, did they bag that promise?
That’s just not in Wrong Ways portfolio.
The promi9se involved an about $1000 cost to the homeowner
That’s the cost for anyone to purchase and install on their own.
The Mayor had promised to provide free install/meters to income qualified older residents. If I recall right, it was ARPA related.
We argued that it would help the most residents afford their true scale of usage and would reduce waste by alerting the DPW to main leaks.
So, did the Council walk away from the promise?
Right your not a buffoon. And lumpy isn’t beer belly and the former state senator isnt luciforo. Don’t throw stones if you can’t take it. Hippocrite.
Off Topic. In watching the meeting about the closing of Morningside School and also reading articles and comments, I can’t help but wonder does Marchetti and the rest of elected officials ever think beyond their egotistical noses?
First, Queen bee Latifah has not lived in Pittsfield for even a year but she seems to know more about the dynamics of Pittsfield than residents that have lived here for decades. Secondly, is she being pushed by Marchetti and Kerwood to cover the debt they have put Pittsfield in? Thirdly, many of the parents that send their children to Morningside are one step from being “houseless” and do not own a vehicle. So, if little Johnny or Susie feels sick and needs to go home, is Marchetti, Queen bee Latifah, or a member of the do nothing newly elected School Committee going to provide free transportation to parents to pickup their child?
Another business is closing on North Street, the Pittsfield Health Food Store, which has been on North Street since 1965. Dolce Rose Beauty Supply at 305 North was trashed and robbed the other night, Panchos closed for cockroaches, issues with discrimination against Brooklyn’s Best and a trashed needle filled apartment building that was suppose to be beautiful? Do Marchetti and City Councilors even care? Who in their right mind would want to bring their business here?
There is most definitely a pattern of the Marchetti Administration constantly putting the cart before the horse on every decision he has made? This shows in the school system, the public utilities and understaffed police department. Marchetti is a HUGE disappointment!
M&B
Your “off topic is also very much ON TOPIC. Queen Latifah owes her 6-figure job to Mayor Lumpy. She’s not about to rock any boat, even one that’s floundering. The North Street report testifies to the dregs that have moved in, the decency that has moved out, and the phony politicians that have not moved at all. Thanks for the comments.
Ciara Batory speaks about TRUST in Pittsfield.
The city’s taxpayers are waiting for the Mayor’s new budget proposal.
679 students per the current academic year 2026 chose to choice out of Pittsfield’s Level 5 schools.
I would like to be able to name even one good thing accomplished by Mayor Peter Marchetti and his colleagues, but it looks to me that things have gotten ever WORSE in Pittsfield than ever.
DISAPPOINTMENT is the tip of the ice-berg in Pittsfield politics.
Dan. I’m watching the Masters. Can you call Jim Nance the announcer and please tell him to stop calling Justin Rose,Rosie,. What an irratatimg buffoon. And to this kufflinks as you call him on here. If he had been at the council meeting I would have scolded his ass on the water financing. But the lump steer and he were not there nor was Dina dummie. How convenient. Bottom line your city is paying way to much for the upgrades. Engineering costs alone are Way out of Whack.
Dan. I thought the Queen had baggage.
Meanwhile Bitchfield is millions in debt, terminating teachers and increasing taxes for less enrollment and lower student achievement scores. It’s the BENEFIT packages that are destroying the budgets. Elected officials love them and need them as a major fund raiser for their
next election.
Yeah thall come save the day with options like teachers retiring bla bla bla. The bottom line unlike Chunky Country Buffet where her kid went out out town School choice should be eliminated and that would solve the deficit priblem. And it isn’t like there is no room or classroom size that would mean more spending.
What a beautiful ceremony at Wahconah Park, Dozens of people in attendance. Lumpy spoke and acknowledged the great times like the beer garden? Didn’t Angieblow own that and was shut down?
Yes Meery you’ve hit the f in nail on the head again. Pittsfield’s servants have turned their jibber into a paycheck to serve themselves. You would think that goof kufflinks would have been at that last water hearing concerning the financing end of it.
Also found it curious that Dina Shore in ward six who by the way along with fat head Carlos current west street configurations have increased accidents,never is at these type hearings?
I was bemiffed at Kenny Warrens roll call vote of the water was denied? a head count. Why,because Dina wasn’t there?
Has the Wars ended in Ukraine and Iran? Haven’t heard about either in three days? And where the truck is the Nancy Guthrie investigation at ? They can’t find her? Why? People don’t disappear in the U S .
People do disappear when they can’t be found.
You’ve disappeared? No?
I think this Shedd is way better than Morales. Especially for information.
Shedd is very competent.
Before you became a city Clowncil membored there was a meeting you attended I’ll never forget it. You were a newbie at the meetings.
That night watching on the v at home there was a speaker who by the way, knew what he was talking about. I couldn’t help but say to myself, why is this guy shaking his head,you . It was right then and there I knew you were going to run for something and eventually you won and became a fine city councilor.
My point sir was you were wrong disagreeing with the speaker at open Mike that particular night,because I believe you knew he was correct that could have resulted in that particular speaker saving the city tens of millions . I believe you eventually came on board but it was to late because the other idiots knew nothing about he subject. Anyway I always have respected you sir.
Thank you for your kind words. I made lot’s of mistakes, and learned a lot too. What did that speaker propose?
Try to save taxpayer money at the water plants.
So sick of dumpster saying couldn5 make a meeting… I have a family and a day job? Then don’t run for President of the City Council.
Huge is the prontative word. J Mel uses beer belly.

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,
ESCALATION Week in Trump’s War against Iran’s EVIL regime of Mass Murderers, Terrorists, and Extremists begins on Monday, April 13, 2026.
Sadly, Lazy Boy Lover V.P. J.D. Vance’s negotiations failed like we all knew they would.
Now, the Orange Jesus Prez Donald Trump is going to block the Straight of Hormuz, along with the aforementioned EVIL Iran regime.
Oil prices are rising. It could go to $103 per barrel of oil to an estimated $125 per barrel. If it keeps increasing in price, the global economy will go into a worldwide recession. If it increases even more, the global economy could collapse.
How much MONEY are we going to spend to wage war against Iran’s EVIL regime?
It has been a couple of billions of dollars per day times 02/28/2026 through today’s date of 04/12/2026 and going into ESCALATION Week.
Iran’s EVIL regime has stated that if Trump blocks the Straight of Hormuz, then they will retaliate by striking the U.S.A.’s military assets.
If Iran’s EVIL regime strikes our military assets, then Trump will strike back at Iran.
How many people will die from War in the Middle East during ESCALATION Week?
It Ia looking UGLY. How UGLY will it get in mid-April 2026?
Jon Melle
