I REPEAT: THE WAR IS OVER
Yes, the U.S. did just fire on and seize an Iranian oil tanker
Yes, Iran threatened to retaliate and said they won't attend the peace talks
And no, this does not mean the war is about to restart
Neither Iran nor Trump can afford this war. They're both just seeing how far they can push the other before they both agree to deal
At most we may see limited strikes this month, but even that I have my doubts
I could be wrong, but I've been saying the war is close to ending since April 2, and that an off-ramp was coming when Trump posted threats to wipe out the Iranian civilization
And this incident today is Trump trying to get Iran to accept his off-ramp so he can move on.
I'm still optimistic
