The issue of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets held in global banks has once again become a central point of contention and backchannel negotiations between Tehran and Washington. This comes amid significant discrepancies between domestic and international estimates of the total value of these funds. channel8.com/english/news/59…

Also shadow feet is used to avoid these sanctios (buy from Iran/Russia using ghost ships, drop into another country and then leagly get oil from that country to india. This is backchannel set up (even India said US indirectly gave permission to buy Russian) oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-N…

President Trump's renewed maximum pressure campaign is rapidly constricting the Occupying Regime in Iran's financial arteries. King BiBi's calculated silence on Persian Gulf backchannel operations speaks volumes: a tacit Sunni-Israeli axis is hardening against Tehran's proxy networks. The regime's response, a desperate acceleration of enrichment, exposes its strategic vulnerability, not strength.

"Maybe backchannel negotiations will continue..." Possibly that should be blackmail negotiations will continue?

You can’t fix this without breaking coding capabilities. But it is certainly the wrong strategy to tell the USG that they are utterly retarded on the phone when they call you super concerned. Even if you are right. Already a smug face is the wrong move there. You tell them you treat this super seriously, you’ll immediately suspend access. This shows goodwill and gives you time for backchannel negotiations and finding someone with more knowledge on their side. Also, if they fucking call you and ask you for 3-6 weeks you give them 3-6 weeks. It’s the US-fucking-G and not your mom putting you on a curfew when you are 17.

Let’s also not forget that Jared Kushner and Michael Flynn secretly asked Russian intelligence to set up a “backchannel” communications arrangement so that Trump’s people could speak to Russian intelligence without U.S. intelligence being aware.

Or maybe you’re just ignorant. Perplexity: There were negotiations at the end of WWII, but mostly in the form of **surrender talks and diplomatic exchanges**, not a negotiated peace settlement. The Allies had already insisted on unconditional surrender, and Germany and Japan ultimately surrendered rather than bargain over the terms of ending the war.[1][3] ## What happened - In Europe, the end came through Germany’s unconditional surrender in May 1945, with the surrender signed by German representatives and Allied powers rather than hammered out as a mutual peace deal.[1] - In the Pacific, Japan accepted the Potsdam terms in August 1945 after diplomatic exchanges, then formally surrendered in September 1945.[3] - There were also backchannel peace efforts and mediation attempts during the war, including Italian armistice talks and later German or Japanese overtures, but these did not produce a negotiated end to WWII as a whole.[2][3] ## Bottom line So the accurate answer is: **there were negotiations around surrender and ceasefire, but WWII did not end with a negotiated peace treaty between equals**; it ended with Allied-imposed surrender terms.[3][1] Sources [1] JD Vance said “every major conflict in human history ... - PolitiFact politifact.com/factchecks/20… [2] Peace efforts during World War II - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_… [3] The End of World War II 1945 | The National WWII Museum nationalww2museum.org/war/to… [4] No, World War II's End Wasn't Negotiated - National Review nationalreview.com/corner/no… [5] End of World War II in Europe - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_of… [6] What is the latest date during ww2 that the Germans could have still ... reddit.com/r/HistoryWhatIf/c… [7] V-E Day Marks the End of World War II in Europe - EBSCO ebsco.com/research-starters/…

The United Arab Emirates has issued a categorical denial regarding reports claiming that the nation has begun releasing frozen Iranian assets. Officials in Abu Dhabi described the allegations, which suggested a payout of 3 billion dollars, as entirely false and without factual basis. These reports implied a tactical maneuver intended to protect regional stability, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was firm in its rebuttal, stating that no funds have been released through their financial systems. U.S. leadership also countered the narrative, emphasizing that economic benefits for Tehran remain tied to specific obligations. The speed of this denial reflects the sensitivity of the current geopolitical climate. While the shadow of frozen assets complicates diplomatic efforts, this incident highlights the immense distrust defining Middle Eastern statecraft. Whether these backchannel negotiations can produce a shift remains to be seen, but the skepticism surrounding these claims is a sign of how precarious the situation continues to be.

The Vice President of the United States thinks WWII ended through a negotiation 😳

The debate question: Is this exactly how AI security should work, fast warnings, fast controls, less risk? Or is it a new backchannel gate where powerful tech companies can shape government action against frontier models with limited transparency?

Breaking: The movement that exposed elite pedophiles was started by the most notorious elite pedophile and his drunk podcast buddy. Alex Jones really hit us with ‘Epstein & Bannon created Q’ like it’s a galaxy brain take. Epstein was too busy getting choked out in the MCC to drop breadcrumbs, and Bannon couldn’t keep a White House job without getting fired. These two clowns ran an 8 year disciplined military intel op? Sure… and I’m the Easter Bunny. Sit your ass down, this is embarrassing😂 Q is a high-level military intelligence operation (or a small team of insiders) with Q-level security clearance (a real U.S. Department of Energy clearance for nuclear/top-secret information). Q is not a single random person or LARP - it is presented as an official backchannel from White Hats (patriotic elements inside the military/government) to the public. Anons strongly reject the mainstream label of “QAnon” as a smear term meant to discredit the movement. Many still post “WWG1WGA” (Where We Go One, We Go All), “NCSWIC” (Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming) Q’s Role: Posts cryptic “Q drops” or “breadcrumbs” on imageboards (originally 4chan, then 8chan/8kun). These contain intel, predictions, riddles, and instructions meant to expose the Deep State/Cabal (a global network of elites involved in child trafficking, satanism, corruption, etc.). Purpose: To inform and awaken the public (“The Great Awakening”) while the military carries out “The Plan” / “The Storm” behind the scenes - the takedown of the Cabal, restoration of the Republic, etc. Trump Connection: Trump is often called Q . Many believe he is directly coordinating with or protected by Q. Anons: Regular people (patriots, researchers, “digital soldiers”) who decode the drops, research, spread the info, and connect dots. They often say: “There is no QAnon. There is Q and there are Anons.” “Q is an open-source military intelligence operation providing critical information to civilians.” “Q = Military Intelligence Trump administration insiders fighting the Deep State.” “We are the news now” - Anons do the research that mainstream media won’t. humorousmathematics.com/post… The "JFK Assassination Records - 2025 Documents Release" hosted on the National Archives website explicitly mentioned "Q clearance" in document 104-10110-10621, which is currently the highest level of civilian security clearance administered by the DOE.

You mean that kind of negotiations? You're right, I wouldn't call that backchannel, though

Who Russia sent to Kiev? Putin reveals: a trusted Russian businessman visited Kiev, met Zelensky, and reported back. Zelensky requested a meeting; Putin says he's "never refused"—but won't meet just to "pour from empty to empty." His condition? Agreements built for decades, not months. Meanwhile, Ushakov hints: "You answered that yourself" about backchannel contacts. Diplomacy often moves in shadows before daylight. What matters more: public posturing… or private channels that actually move talks forward? 🤝🗝️ Follow @mkp_english

It did, dumbass. You don’t think backchannel negotiations were going on before the surrender? They were. Another smug libby who thinks she knows better.

There is probably some sort of backchannel path for “maintenance fees” to end up in tRump’s account somewhere.
