      I’ll believe it when I see it. For now working hypothesis for me is that he has some over-weekend calls that he wanted to sell with profit, so he had to pump a bit. I don’t believe it until confirmed by Iran. They still have no incentive to back down, especially if Netanyahu isnt in on this.

      Neither Iran nor the US want this to escalate further, given what next step would entail. I imagine Iran-US talks would have to be productive in that scenario at least to try and see what could happen.

      That said, it could also just be buying time to shore up Pakistan and move pieces to defend key energy and desalination plants in Gulf States.

      This is good news, turns out Trump kept a few brain cells for emergency use, what do you know!

      The strikes Iran was threating in response, including desalination plants, would have rendered the Gulf States more or less uninhabitable.

      I’m sure they were pressuring Trump to back down.

      Ironically, the Gulf State’s corrupt gifts to Trump, such as the jet Qatar gave him, might be what prevents this war from escalating further.

      Just in time for the markets to open. Went from a 200 point decline to a 1000 point gain in the Dow jones futures.

      He knows that unless boots are on the ground, US military cannot stop Iran’s response. Classic TACO moment.

      Any response/confirmation of talks from the Iranian side? Not that I particularly trust them, but I don’t trust Trump so…

      He blinked because his advisors probably told him over the weekend that Iran could retaliate and render the Gulf uninhabitable.

      That should end all the bullshit talk of „Iran is running out of missiles, launchers and drones“. It is not. Iran can do a lot of damage. And the GGC and Israel are probably running low on interceptors.

      We also went from demands of „unconditional surrender“ to „we had productive talks“.

      The Strait remains closed.

      The war is going great.

      Trump needs to get some real generals „in the circle“ and start believing them. 

      This is a war, not a media circlejerk.  If you want to win it, you need military strategies not political strategies.
