Donal Trump has announced that Iran‘s new leadership is requesting a ceasefire, but warned any truce is contingent on the Strait of Hormuz reopening.
The President claimed that the ‘new regime president’ was ‘much less radicalized and far more intelligent that his predecessors’, without revealing with whom the US was negotiating, in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday morning.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) branded Trump’s claims ‘nonsense’ and said that the Islamic regime would not be moved by his ‘absurd displays.’
Stocks moved higher Wednesday, building on a relief rally the previous session, after Trump signaled he was prepared to end the war even if Hormuz remains closed.
The market buoyancy came even as Trump muddied the waters again, writing in his post that a ceasefire would only come when the Strait is ‘open, free, and clear.’
‘Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages,’ he added.
But this was also shot down by the IRGC which said: ‘The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is also firmly and dominantly under the control of the naval forces.’
Trump also said he was considering pulling out of NATO and planned to express his ‘disgust’ with the alliance during a 9pm ET address to the nation on the Iran war.
The Pentagon is giving Trump a range of military options, massing thousands of Marines and paratroopers on Tehran’s doorstep as America’s Arab allies urge the President to seize the opportunity to kill off the regime.
The USS Tripoli arrived in the Middle East on Friday, composed of around 5,000 sailors and Marines distributed across several warships.
They will soon be joined by the San Diego-based USS Boxer amphibious assault ship, and two other vessels comprising the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
Also heading to the region are thousands of paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne, who will apparently be accompanied by hundreds of Special Forces.
The UAE is reportedly prepared to deploy troops to help the US seize control of Hormuz, while European allies have insisted that they will not be dragged into the conflict.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Britons that it was ‘not our war’ as he outlined diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions and called NATO the world’s ‘most effective military alliance.’
US forces coming to invade Iran…
For many, perhaps for most, it will be the last thing they will ever do…

It seems the split between the US and EU is increasing. A video from House of El explains the EU is shutting US tech firms out of future economic developments, ensuring EU digital payments avoid US companies and banks altogether to protect the EU against US sanctions and other means by which the US tries to control European policy.

@ bibble…
Satire and cynicism can only exist in a reasonably healthy society, they are functional/social tools, a check and balance that can only exist if there is a scintilla at least, of moral framework, of course, at the levels of social dysfunction currently exhibited by imbecile kind they simply become evident facts..
never the less, one must sally forth.. if somewhat reluctantly.
lol..
