    White House is now saying the only way the ceasfire can continue is if Iran opens Hormuz unconditionally with no tolls.

    Trump is being riduled in every western countries. The headlines of every European newspaper was he surrendered and the American empire is done. This is all about Trumps ego being hurt and not being able to accept defeat.

    The Iranians aren't going to budge.

    Or else what? The WH has no leverage. They have no way of opening the strait without sending tens of thousands of soldiers to secure the passageway which means lots of casualties.

    Just me being a crabby old man with ad hominem attacks. But really, I wouldn't trust or even watch influencers' take on this regardless of who was reading the script.

    Sometimes I have to just shake my head at these crazy clowns...

    When a reporter asked Leavitt what she thought of Trump’s post about Iran she said, “I think it was a very, very strong threat from the President of the United States that led the Iranian regime to cave to their knees and ask for a ceasefire and agreed to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. So it was a very strong threat that led to results."

    Your poor baby is in that womb listening to Mommy puckering up to a crazy deranged old clown day in and day out.

    Then you have deranged Hegseth, who said today that Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield. A capital V military victory.

    These stupid trump voters and supporters got played again. It's okay I'm sure you'd rather have 90mill Iranians dead in order to be right. Evil pieces of sh**

    Iran would be foolish to remove any mines (or illusion of mines) in the strait until this thing is settled for good. Restricting traffic to mine-free routes or where Iran can have close control over every ship limits the amount of traffic significantly. If you demand that the pre-war number of 150-200 ships move through the Strait today, you're demanding Iran give up their greatest negotiating leverage. If they are going to give that up, it will take massive concessions or a successful invasion. A Catch 22 brought to you by D.J. Trump. As someone said, he's not playing 3-D chess, he's eating his rooks, knights, and bishops.

    As an aside, an average size oil tanker at $100 a barrel is carrying about $200 million worth of oil. A $2 million charge on that transport is much less than the tariffs Trump has imposed on international trade to the US.

    It’s looking more and more like this is a troop buildup for a ground war. “Closing” NATO bases and stationing those troops in “supportive” countries. Guess which countries he called most supportive.

    Iran's entire defense industrial complex has been wiped out -- they have no ability to produce weapons or munitions. Their military has been wiped out. Their leadership is dead. The Islamic theocracy will never acquire a nuke. And there will be no permanent tolls on the Strait of Hormuz. The stock market is RIPPING higher.

    Thank you to our courageous troops for security another decisive military win!


    GOOD DAY
