Iran media say pressure, not talks, led to US U‑turn

The Iranians have stated categorically that they will not begin talks while they are under attack, which they were this morning. So the idea that Trump's people had "very, very strong" talks with "someone" last night is obviously a false claim. Trump is desperate to keep a lid on oil prices, and prevent a complete stock market meltdown while he tries to come up with next steps (something he should have thought of before he attacked Iran). Meanwhile, the Iranians are still defiant, still have control over the Strait of Hormuz, and still have their enriched uranium. Seems to me that Iran has Trump panicked, and so he's resorting to his usual lies to put off disaster as long as he can.

This just in (last line is telling....)......but I can only imagine, if true, what the Iranian response to the "5 day ceasefire proposal" will be...and, then, what the US response will be to Iran's response. Uhg. War sucks. Disinformation sucks.

Israel claims to carry out ‘wide-scale’ wave of strikes on Iran
The Israeli army says it struck several military bases and weapons sites in a new round of attacks on Iran.

In a statement on Telegram, the army said it hit an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aerial defence and ground forces headquarters, a Quds base and intelligence site, a Defence Ministry missile manufacturing site, and other production and research facilities.

Al Jazeera could not independently confirm the information."

This news is a widow maker, think hard before you take positions. Don't let greed overcome your wisdom...

Iranian media = regime propaganda = CBS, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC = Lies, normally. I don't make trading decisions based on what they spout. Thinking many bots on here may not even have trading accounts, but make their money by posting Trump negativity. It is so obvious. FF, you should clean up this mess.

But then why did Trump cave? If they're "finished", then he and Netanyahu may easily deliver a final blow, no?

On the other hand, Iran should probably take this salvo from Trump side and run with it

cmon man

If they're going to bomb them, it's all part of the psychological game. Anyone who hasn't realized this yet is letting themselves be swayed by emotional thinking, by trading operations they've already set up, or by what they want the market to go in. I'm telling you, that Iranian regime is finished. They're going to get it from all sides, even where they don't have the means to hit them.

This sounds more real. Mid-terms are here Donnie !!

What a mug you have, Sharapov. If you're going to lie, then keep lying. He's just playing and manipulating the market. His level isn't where it is now. He's an idiot.

Trump is always right!

What pressure ..Is there anything left in Iran ? Even pressure cooker you won't find to boil your chick peas

Trump TaCo
