One of most badly planned wars in history of humanity. Arrogant attitude & unbelievable stupidity of #Trump throughout #Iran war has been incredible.
Trump’s ‘short war’ is spiralling out of control. His personal failings were the trigger https://t.co/5S80SZxvdu

Marco Rubio: "If you criticize Israel, you will not be granted a visa for the United States."

This is what an occupied nation looks like.

The United States bought the Japanese yen for the first time in more than a decade as "a signal of friendship," President Donald Trump said Sunday. The rare bilateral intervention in Japan's currency market was designed to prop up the yen from its 40-year low against the dollar. https://t.co/IRs6PAV4XO

I’m just asking what should be an obvious question at this point: why do mainstream media outlets, like CBS news here, report Trump‘s words, as though they should be taken at face value; that a deal “may be imminent,” when this is just the latest in a long list of Trump TACOs?

Why does anyone give the slightest legitimacy to these absurd claims?

The truth is, the GCC countries, especially Saudi Arabia, either gave Trump an ultimatum, threatened him, or made a strong plea for him not to take the action that would certainly result in the destruction of their oil infrastructure.

Iran had threatened to retaliate in strong ways, and President Trump knew the US would not able to stop them. The commander of US European command was “leaked“ claiming that he was running out of assets to do his job in the Middle East with naval and air forces.

President Trump‘s decision not to attack was the right one, but it also exposes he has no plan, and no way to know how to escape.

The walk away plan remains the most viable of the ugly options left to the president as a result of his foolish decision to launch war last February.

… And the Strait remains closed and under Iranian control.

🚨Ukraine is Destroyed. That Nation is Finished.

🚨Iran is Victorious.

🚨Col Doug Macgregor: The NEW ORDER in the Middle East

I would turn that around and warn everyone that if he indeed does proceed, it's not the end of Iran.
It'll finish us in the Gulf.
That's absolutely certain.
But it will be the end of Israel.
And I think that privately Netanyahu is worried about that. But he doesn't know what else to do.
And the simple truth is the same for Ukraine.
Either we give them more to sustain them for another month or two, or they too will go out of existence.
And if we give them something to sustain them for another month or two, half of which will be stolen and end up in private bank accounts, they too will be destroyed.
The handwriting, as we say, is on the wall.
Ukraine is destroyed. That nation is finished.
And oh, by the way, Iran is victorious.
And a new order is going to emerge in the Middle East.
And I would tell you that over the next few months, it will be obvious that that new order consists of four powerful states, Russia, China, Iran, and Turkey

BREAKING: TRUMP SAYS SAUDI, UAE & QATAR ASKED HIM TO HOLD OFF ON MASSIVE ATTACK ON IRAN

“I was asked to by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, by Qatar, and by Iran to hold off strikes.

It would have been a massive attack.

When the allies asked to call it off, you gotta say, "Well, let's see."

Allies think there is a deal. There is a deal on Hormuz, and it will be a deal on the nuclear.”

⭕️ WSJ: The UAE lobbied President Trump to take “more decisive action,” the Wall Street Journal reports, citing senior Gulf officials.

While Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states urged the US President to cancel planned strikes on Iran and pursue negotiations over the weekend, Emirati officials argued that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps would not compromise unless Washington escalated, took control of the Strait of Hormuz and potentially considered ground operations, the report says.

The UAE previously carried out dozens of airstrikes against Iran in coordination with the US and Israel. Israel also deployed Iron Dome batteries and dozens of troops to the UAE to defend it against Iranian attacks, according to a separate Journal investigation.

NEW: 🇺🇸🇨🇺Secretary of State Marco Rubio now claims Cuba has been meddling in the internal affairs of the United States

Every month different country is meddling in the internal affairs in the US

“To the average American, you see Cuba, a small country 90 miles off our shores, 9.5 million people population — but people forget that when it comes to things like espionage and influence operations, they actually are an influence and espionage superpower.

If you look at the history of espionage in the United States, Cuba is the only country that consistently has implanted and embedded spies in our system without even paying them.”

🚨 "About 35% of personal income taxes in the US now go to servicing debt, a huge amount. The Congressional Budget Office indicates that will go up to 50%. So half of personal income taxes that go to the government will be paid just to service debt. That money won't go for transfer payments or payments for government goods and services. It just goes to pay and service the debt", notes Dr. Steve Hanke (@steve_hanke) in our latest interview.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he called off the attacks at Iran because a deal on the Strait of Hormuz is "eminent" and "ultimately the denuclearization"

​Minutes later, Iran's IRGC launched an anti-ship cruise missile at a US-backed oil tanker.

You can't Truth Social your way out of hostile missile fire. Trump’s endless bluffing is making America look weaker and more humiliated by the hour.

President Trump last night said that “the parameters of a deal have been agreed to” – and then this morning we find out that the only thing that was agreed to was *allegedly* a willingness to BEGIN talks.

Continuing a well established pattern, very little that our president says is actually true.

Israel dropped a bomb on a medical warehouse in Gaza.

The explosion carved a crater more than 10 meters deep.

This was not a military target.

This was a warehouse storing essential medical supplies — needed to keep civilians alive.
