How did we go from "a deal is imminent" and "we're finalizing a deal" last week to a deal has completely fallen through and Trump says "I don't care" to CNBC today? This is wild

Does it not worry anyone that we seem to be burning through our oil reserves, trying to stabilize the oil market?

Iranian state-backed media outlets are now reporting that Iran has suspended ceasefire talks with the U.S. over the significant expansion of Israeli operations against Lebanese Hezbollah (LH) in Southern Lebanon. According to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the success of U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks is contingent on Israel’s deescalation in Southern Lebanon, saying “a violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts.”

So, the IDF putting a missile right into the living room of one of your own dudes is okay, but the Jews whacking a few Hezzies in Lebanon is the last straw, the main hurdle?

This is just another one of Trump’s 20 personalities to fit another narrative that he created. He’s always winning!

Clown show continues.

Trump spoke to CNBC. Per key points from the article:

"President Donald Trump told CNBC “I don’t care” if peace negotiations with Iran are over.

Trump told CNBC he was “going to ask” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “what’s going on with Lebanon.”

Trump said he wasn’t worried about oil prices, which spiked following a report that Iran will “completely block” the Strait of Hormuz in addition to halting negotiations with the U.S.”


"President Donald Trump told CNBC “I don’t care” if peace negotiations with Iran are over."

Because the news is called propaganda. Nothing gov'ts say to stupid reporters during a war is geared towards the citizens. It is put out for the enemy to hear.

Pretty clear that Trump was hoping to end the conflict without having to drop any more bombs. Now that that’s no longer an option, he’s stuck. Seems like he’s going to try to wait it out and hurt Iran economically, but they don’t seem to care. What happened to their oil wells being no longer useable? It’s been an awfully long time and they don’t seem to be panicking the way they were expected to. He needs to come to the realization that the only way to put an end to this is to use all the deadly force - “the likes that no one has ever seen before” that he says would occur. Otherwise the TACO moniker rings true.

They are filling every rusted out tanker they can get their hands on and then dumping directly into the Persian Gulf when they can. They are also supplying oil via land routes to Pakistan and other countries that still do business with them on the black market in order to keep the wells going.

Yea, we will see how well that holds in about 48 hours when the Muzzies have to release their tension somehow.

I don't think he wants to do that.

The World Cup begins here in 10 days, followed by the 250th Independence Day celebration is little more than a month.

My guess is he is willing to maintain the status quo until all that is over.

Wrong. A former client was a partner and described how a number of people came into their offices and started using their computers to direct the uprising. An uncle had been beaten to a pulp by the king's henchmen. It was payback time. They had zero connection with the USA

“If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring,” Trump told CNBC.

so...?

If the SOH is still blocked in July get ready for a real spike in oil prices because world inventories will be dangerously low.

Taking that island at the top of the Straight and the coastline would secure the shipping lanes and cause the IRGC to attempt to take it back. The IRGC would expose themselves rather than sit in their hiding places.

And once they expose themselves the citizens can deploy the drones we have given them to take out the IRGC.

If by sending missiles and drones are "exposing themselves" then you are correct.
