After progress in Rome, Iran and the United States are set to meet again to discuss Tehran's nuclear program. Will they 'snap out of it' and reach an agreement, or will it be another 'Aw, Phooey!' moment?

Aw Phooey! More Talky Talk?

Well blow me down! It seems those blabbermouths in Iran and the U.S. are at it again yakking about Tehran's nuclear doo dad. After some yackety yak in Rome they're planning another gabfest next week. Can you believe it? More talk! It's enough to make a duck pull out his feathers! But hey if it stops things from going 'kaboom,' I guess I can put up with it. 'What's the good of being a wise old bird if you can't use your noodle?'

Face to Face? That's Some Real Progress Folks!

Now hold on to your hats folks! I hear President Trump's special guy Witkoff actually sat face to face with that Iranian big shot Araghchi. Face to face! I haven't seen that much direct contact since I last tried to steal a piece of Goofy's cake. 'Don't lose your temper use your head!' That's what I always say... or try to before I lose my temper.

Oman the Neutral Ground – Sounds Fishy to Me!

They're meeting in Oman next! Oman of all places! That's like me and Gladstone Gander agreeing to settle our differences at Daisy's house. Someone's always playing shuttle diplomacy in those spots just like last weekend in Muscat. 'Work makes work and rest makes rest.' Now if only they'd let me rest near those oil fields I'd be set!.

A Deal? Maybe. A Miracle? Perhaps!

Araghchi is saying there's 'progress on principles.' Progress! That's almost as good as finding a whole box of donuts! But he also says 'optimism may be warranted but only with a great deal of caution.' Sounds like someone's been reading my autobiography. Remember folks 'never trust anybody!' Especially not those sneaky seagulls always eyeing my lunch!

Tensions in the Middle East?! Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy!

Of course all this talking is happening while the Middle East is about as calm as my houseboat during a hurricane. We've got wars airstrikes and enough political hootenanny to make your head spin. And get this someone's even threatening to build an atomic weapon! Sheesh give a duck a break! "I'm so mad I could chew nails!"

The Airplane is Coming! The Airplane is Coming!

And to add insult to injury (or should I say injury to insult?) Iran is buying used airplanes! I’d be all over flying those but my luck the plane would land in Uncle Scrooge’s money bin. 'This is the end! I've had it!' At least until the next crazy adventure comes along. Maybe they'll give me a free ticket to Oman. I could use a vacation!
