(7,986 posts)the "domestic American propaganda" is what stood out most to me. This stupid tweet should be restacked, retweeted, or whatever they do to make it go viral with as large a view count as possible. Push it into the Maga's faces, that THIS is what their "deity" thinks of them.

He's bankrupted farms now he's working on gas stations. I wonder how long before there will be stations closing? Or rationing of gas to so many gals. at a time?

(479 posts)Oil futures for the next mobth solidify 3 working days prior to the 25th of the month, meaning for May it occured on the 20th. I don't think he figured correctly, & was a bit late on it, or is manipulating in the interim bettween settlements. Whatever the strategy it looks quite suspicious

Details were scarce, including how the framework would address the future of Irans nuclear program.
An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed, Trump said in a social media post, citing Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E. and Jordan, among others. Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well.
Trump added that final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. He said that among many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened, but he did not elaborate on whether it included Irans enriched uranium.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei suggested earlier Saturday on state media that the framework agreementwould give Tehran between 30 to 60 days to resolve sticking points over its stockpile. GOP critics, including Trumps former CIA director and secretary of state from his first administration, blasted the apparent agreement for not achieving Trumps main stated goal for going to war: to put a permanent end to Irans nuclear program.

.....Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a key Trump congressional ally, warned against agreeing to a deal that could wind up giving Iran the appearance of dominance.
If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution, Graham said in a social media post Saturday.
It sounds like trump is caving to Iran due to the gas price issues and worries about midterms. Even if a deal is struck this week, gas prices will not go down until close to or after midterms

-compensate Tehran by releasing blocked funds (at least $6 billion)
-lift sanctions
-remove American forces from around Iran (Iranian sources more specifically mention the naval assets in the region)
-lift the blockade
-ceasefire in all fronts including in Lebanon (basically allowing Tehran to rearm its proxy network and help Hizballah reasserts its control in Lebanon)
In exchange for
-gradual reopening of Strait of Hormuz with the transit remaining under Tehrans management and control
-negotiations over other issues with no hard deadline (the 30-day negotiation window can be extended)
Washington has not denied any of these claims.
This is a total surrender, pretty symbolic if it is announced on Memorial Day.
sop
(19,378 posts)the war. Either we reach a good deal or Ill blow them to a thousand hells, the reporter quoted Trump as saying.
Trump also posted a map of the Middle East on Truth Social, with Iran painted over with the American flag. The graphic read: United States of the Middle East?

Trump is a stupid, unserious man.

(85,381 posts)Trump doesn't want to go back to war. That's why he keeps backing down and Iran feels they can dictate terms.
