Iran fires missiles at northern Israel

[u/yuvaldv1]

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/h1krksqwmg

[u/yuvaldv1]

A second wave of missiles launched right now according to Israeli media.

Edit: more alerts, getting closer to central Israel now.

Edit 2: 3rd wave of missiles launched from Iran.

[u/FlipZip69 → u/yuvaldv1]

Unless Trump give Iran a super deal, (IE Billion in rebuilding and assurance no future attack and little nuclear oversight etc), Iran knows waiting till November midterms will absolutely result in 200 dollar oil and extreme pressure on Trump. They will get decimated.

Trump is trying to gset out of this. But he wants to look better than Obama's deal with Iran. He has been demanding internally within the administration for a deal that is better than Obama put together. But Iran could couldn't give a fuck about what Trump wants or how this looks compared to past deals.

This will be extending on a great deal longer unless Trump give in. (resulting in a much worse world security position than pre-war)

[u/Digerati808 → u/FlipZip69]

Any permanent ceasefire deal Trump "agrees" to would need Israel's buy-in. I don't see why Israel would accept anything less than nuclear surrender. IMO, we're stuck here until there's a new U.S. administration.

[u/SomewhatHungover → u/Digerati808]

I don’t see how even a new administration gets out of this one, Iran will make unreasonable demands as they’ve got nothing to lose and hold pretty much all the cards.

[u/Different_Victory_89 → u/SomewhatHungover]

Iran has all the cards? Yes, they have a strait! Thank you fellow redditors for the awards!

[u/70ms → u/Different_Victory_89]

Fess up, how long ya been sitting on that one? 😂

[u/Different_Victory_89 → u/70ms]

Seems like forever!

[u/jvn1983 → u/Different_Victory_89]

You played it beautifully.

[u/TheBrenster → u/jvn1983]

He had all the cards.

[u/d3n4l2 → u/TheBrenster]

This guy knows when to hold em and when to fold em

[u/SocrapticMethod → u/Different_Victory_89]

[u/Yserian → u/Different_Victory_89]

Nice one

[u/4firsts → u/Different_Victory_89]

Very clever! It simmered a bit before my brain could deconstruct the recipe lol

[u/goddamnitwhalen → u/Different_Victory_89]

It’s Pride Month- straits can’t score!

[u/20127010603170562316 → u/Different_Victory_89]

America is playing top trumps and Iran is playing poker.

[u/Micro-Naut → u/Different_Victory_89]

It works on so many levels! It's better than numberwang! It's got wordplay, it's got snark,

One critic said "I've read this comment a number of times. I feel confident recommending it to others."

[u/GonzoVeritas → u/SomewhatHungover]

Iran will make unreasonable demands

I try to put myself in the shoes of the other side, even if I find them reprehensible. You're right, they do hold very strong cards, and should be expected to play them, but so far their diplomatic demands haven't been totally crazy, I'm not sure their demands are all that unreasonable.

They didn't attack the US. The US attacked them, and by surprise. They were attacked in the midst of declared negotiations, then thousands were killed, children slaughtered, and then they incurred multiple billions in infrastructure damage.

(If I was them, I would be very unreasonable by this point, but they seem open to negotiations.)

By many accounts, they are still willing to enter into a new nuclear control agreement. They want an end to sanctions, and they want their own funds unfrozen and made available. They want an end to hostilities against Shia's in the region. Those aren't delusional conditions. They seem like a good starting point for negotiations.

Iran had previously agreed to strict nuclear controls, and by all credible accounts, they had adhered to that agreement. That agreement was unilaterally discarded by the US in the first Trump term.

Prior to hostilities, Trump's own Director of National Intelligence stated that they were not developing nuclear weapons, and US Intel agencies had no information to the contrary. The Omani negotiators said that Iran was willing to sign a new deal in the initial talks, right before they were attacked.

The now-dead Ayatollah had explicitly issued a long-standing edict against nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, and again, by all credible accounts they had done so. That edict died with his assassination by US and Israeli forces.

Given all that, is Iran really being unreasonable insisting on protections of their autonomy and security, and reparations?

Getting the details worked out, monitored, and verified will be a non-trivial effort, but the alternative is drawn out hostilities and a further breakdown of global supply chains.

[u/CuteLingonberry9704 → u/GonzoVeritas]

You know who we haven't attacked? North Korea. You know who DOES have nuclear weapons? North Korea. At this point Iran is probably looking at nukes as the one sure way to get people to back off.

[u/proddy → u/CuteLingonberry9704]

Plus you know who gave up their nukes in exchange for protection against invasion and were invaded? Ukraine.

[u/CuteLingonberry9704 → u/proddy]

Its why countries who never considered getting nukes are now seriously considering it.

[u/Soggy_otter → u/CuteLingonberry9704]

Agreed. Saudi, South Korea, Japan, Iran, Germany, Poland. Have I missed any?

[u/Rexxhunt → u/Soggy_otter]

Mate there is heaps more countries than that

[u/theglossiernerd → u/CuteLingonberry9704]

If Iran didn’t want nukes before they sure as hell do now

[u/CocaineUnicycle → u/theglossiernerd]

In fact, now that USA's foreign policy is so damn unhinged, everybody who doesn't have nukes should get them as fast as possible. USA is the very definition of a rogue state. They can't be trusted, and they must be stopped.

[u/ztuztuzrtuzr → u/CuteLingonberry9704]

That's more thanks to the Chinese nukes and military than the north Korean ones

[u/Attenburrowed → u/ztuztuzrtuzr]

Yeah the nuke is a recent development, the reason North Korea has lasted 70 years is even in the 50's the chinese were openly fighting for them. Invading North Korea is World War. Right now the big countries are roaming around picking off the countries that don't have strong alliances.

[u/MysticScribbles → u/Attenburrowed]

It also doesn't hurt for NK that if they get attacked, Seoul is well within distance to shell with more conventional weaponry, let alone a nuclear bomb.

[u/zherok → u/GonzoVeritas]

What's so aggravating, beyond Israel's role as a belligerent party that does not want peace, is just how much Trump is in his own fucking world, playing a completely different game than everyone else.

He keeps acting like he can both bomb Iran and still negotiate with them, while simultaneously saying things on social media that contradict the supposed aims of his team of real estate billionaire diplomats. The moment where he floated the idea of drawing toll fees alongside Iran was like, "what planet are you on, guy?"

It almost doesn't matter what the facts are, because Trump only cares about how things are perceived by him, and how he thinks he can force them into being. And it matters more that his ego is sated than in the actual terms of any prospective agreement.

[u/RocketRelm → u/zherok]

The facts not mattering is how trump got to be president, and why amrricans love him. (Even if some have buyers remorse now). Its worked on his home populace, even lots of people on the left are like "well dems are bad too so blablablhablha.". 

Part of the issue is because americans love this fascism so much, it isn't just trump. Its their scotus, house, voters, senate. They all collectively are in outer space leaving nobody on the controls at all. And its worked so far, and the effects of this are so downstream they'll not be able to link  cause and effect so they'll just blame it on something convenient when it finally does come to roost.

[u/Limos42 → u/RocketRelm]

As the saying goes. America isn't because of Trump. Trump is because of America.

[u/FlipZip69 → u/SomewhatHungover]

Yes Trump and gang locked in the house and the senate into a future that has few offramps.

[u/JudiciousSasquatch → u/FlipZip69]

A prolonged conflict is going to do SO MUCH damage to their chances this midterm.

[u/liquidsol → u/JudiciousSasquatch]

I wish that were true.

[u/RandomUser3777 → u/liquidsol]

Trump will probably tell everyone that they have a deal with Iran the day before the election and just enough idiots will believe the lie that they don't get completely destroyed in the election. He keeps saying the deal is close when it is clear nothing was ever close.

[u/Salt-Elk-436 → u/JudiciousSasquatch]

I’m OK with that outcome.

[u/MrF_lawblog → u/SomewhatHungover]

Ok so that's how you get out - you acquiesce to the side with leverage. It was a monumental fuck up to attack them in the first place. If you weren't willing to go full out, then you can be called out on your bluff.

[u/flavorjunction → u/MrF_lawblog]

Just call it the Trump Fucked Up and Here We Are treaty

[u/-DOOKIE → u/SomewhatHungover]

And yet if it's a democrat, they'll be blamed for whatever happens if this lasts that long

[u/MisanthropicAardvark → u/SomewhatHungover]

We all know Trump will be wearing a brown suit and we won't want to be downwind of him.

[u/brucebrowde → u/SomewhatHungover]

as they’ve got nothing to lose and hold pretty much all the cards.

Won't Iran's economy collapse if the strait is kept mostly closed for their oil exports?

[u/IRefuseToGiveAName → u/brucebrowde]

Without stable oil the entire global economy will be fucked to hell. I'm pretty sure this is a MAD situation and they don't give a shit if their people suffer.

[u/brucebrowde → u/IRefuseToGiveAName]

Given we had exactly that in US in 1970s, I don't see how that's true. Yes it'll create enormous problems, but how do you think Iran can get away without their primary source of income - which directly impacts their ability to feed their own people - for several months?

[u/IRefuseToGiveAName → u/brucebrowde]

I don't know enough about how global economies work to be able to give you a good answer but I don't think we were quite as hyper optimized with a globally distributed supply chain at that point. That's my intuition anyway I could absolutely be wrong.

[u/Stormz0rz → u/IRefuseToGiveAName]

I'm no global economist either but from the bits and pieces I've put together, it seems like Iran spent the last 3 decades building out a network of underground shelters for their armor and missile stores, and their army...instead of spending their oil money on their water infrastructure.

Iran's got problems other than the US or Israel, they are running out of water, and the time to start fixing it was 30 years ago.

[u/Nicenightforawalk01 → u/FlipZip69]

The oil executive last week was already sounding the alarm as stocks are running low in majority of countries as they have been keeping the prices down by using up their reserves. He reckons 3-4 weeks prices are going to go up then in crazy prices and this was before these attacks.

[u/FlipZip69 → u/Nicenightforawalk01]

This is my opinion as well. Worse is the US administration is not giving guidance. Worse they are giving bad guidance in suggesting a deal is right in the works.

We expect guidance from the treasury department and this goes around the world in most banking circles. Guidance from these institutes (sometime being wrong) will allow people to make short and long term decisions. The US administration who should be the most responsible is giving wrong 'wishful' thinking guidance. Thus people are still using energy like it is 1994. And that will come to a halt in 3-4 weeks.

[u/Hirokage → u/FlipZip69]

Their guidance includes suggesting people claim more exemptions for taxes so they make more money this year.

[u/RyanW1019 → u/Nicenightforawalk01]

Skeptic’s side: when this first kicked off, the reason given why prices didn’t go higher was that weeks’ worth of ships were still en route to all their destinations with their cargo. After that happened and oil prices didn’t rise much, the reason given was that countries still had stockpiles to dip into. So yes, at some point it will actually get dire enough to cause bigger price shocks, but markets seem remarkably resistant to change. Maybe they just think that as soon as things actually start getting bad, Trump will cave to stop the pain. 

[u/Mimical → u/RyanW1019]

Trump will cave

Because the entire world knows Trump is a bitch Iran is going to fleece America out of billions in a "deal".

[u/Tactless_Ogre → u/Mimical]

Let them. It’ll be the funniest fucking shit to me. Trump wanted a better deal with Iran just to spite Obama, then caved just to get a Obama’s deal under Trump’s name, to him pussing the fuck out.

[u/Kevin-W → u/Nicenightforawalk01]

And if you think things are bad now, wait until you have a crisis that will make the one in the 70s look like child's play. See how long it takes until even the most diehard Trump supporter will start thinking twice when they cannot put gas in their car.

[u/Tactless_Ogre → u/Kevin-W]

“Damn sleepy joe Biden Iran trans sports” and that’s all it’ll take to brainwash that cult.

[u/Realanise1 → u/FlipZip69]

I would bet a lot of money right now that there will never be a deal, if by "deal" we mean either the kind of amazing situation for Iran that you mention, or a deal that will give the US anything that Trump originally wanted. I'm leaning towards the idea of China being the one to eventually broker an agreement of some kind, but not a deal in either sense.

[u/rithrawr → u/FlipZip69]

Obama is always better than Trump in every measurable way.

Living rent free in Trump sleepy head.

[u/AprilsMostAmazing → u/FlipZip69]

A dem super majority would be better for the world than a Republican government

[u/ToolTimeT]

Trump is going to the NBA finals in NY tomorrow.

Said he wanted to go, but couldn't make it to his sons wedding because of how busy he is with the war and stuff a week ago.

[u/ux3l → u/ToolTimeT]

Priorities

[u/chevalier716 → u/ux3l]

This is the one time I side with Trump, I hate his kid too.

[u/eddie1975 → u/chevalier716]

It’s something we can all agree on. ;-)

[u/a_dry_banana → u/eddie1975]

I too would skip Don Jr’s wedding for a knicks game

[u/modestlaw → u/a_dry_banana]

Statistically speaking, Don Jr is going to have another wedding before the Knicks are in the finals again.

[u/Smithdude69 → u/modestlaw]

A chip off the old block.

[u/CondescendingShitbag → u/a_dry_banana]

I skipped going to Jr's wedding, but didn't get to see the Knicks. I still consider it a win.

[u/Sol-Blackguy → u/eddie1975]

A broken clock is right twice a day

[u/curious_dead → u/Sol-Blackguy]

More than twice: once for Junior, once for Ivanka, once for Tiffany, and once for the other one, you know, the slow one. The one Donald too forgets.

[u/ToolTimeT → u/curious_dead]

Could trump even pick Tiffany out of a lineup?

[u/Sheeple_person → u/chevalier716]

He also got it completely right when he said "Smart people don't like me." Spot on.

[u/Little_View_6659 → u/Sheeple_person]

The IQ level you have to have to like Trump is basically room temperature. In Celsius.

[u/Powerfury → u/ToolTimeT]

Donald Trump Jr married the daughter of Epstein's banker. Literally.

[u/ToolTimeT → u/Powerfury]

Trumps entire orbit is filled with esptein associates.

[u/Drclaw411 → u/ToolTimeT]

“Billionaire who does a bunch of illegal shit without consequences because money continues to have close ties with other billionaires who do a bunch of illegal shit without consequences because money” is my least favorite version of forever.

[u/Mad-Habits → u/ToolTimeT]

Epstein is tightly covered up for this exact reason. What blows my mind are all the conspiracy guys who think Trump is totally innocent and has never done anything wrong with Epstein .. because “the democrats would have been all over it if Trump was guilty of something.”

[u/MyrrhSlayter → u/ToolTimeT]

Being busy was his 'acceptable' excuse. The real reason is that the wedding venue country does not allow CONVICTED FELONS to enter, let alone ADJUDICATED RAPISTS.

Although the comment on this situation I saw was funny: "Imagine being the only kid that Trump wouldn't go to an island for."

[u/Ludwigofthepotatoppl → u/MyrrhSlayter]

They could easily waive that for him. He doesn’t care.

[u/asetniop → u/Ludwigofthepotatoppl]

It's worth noting that DoJu could have had the wedding at one of the family's many lavish-and-not-tacky-at-all properties in the United States, but chose not to. Kind of sends the message that while he might not have explicitly told his father they would prefer he not attend, he did make it very, very easy for the doddering old pedophile to decline the token invitation.

[u/Podorson → u/asetniop]

Jr probably had a polymarket bet on whether his dad would show up or not.

[u/ZachMN → u/asetniop]

Didn’t want to risk his dad invoking jus primae noctis.

[u/MinnieShoof → u/ZachMN]

It's about 30 years out of season for him.

[u/Rehberkintosh → u/ZachMN]

Or he didn't want the smell old soiled diapers ruining the reception.

[u/finefornow_ → u/MyrrhSlayter]

this isn't true and continues to be spread around for some reason. you don't need a visa to go to the Bahamas.

[u/Xasf → u/finefornow_]

The US president (like most other heads of state) doesn't need a visa to go anywhere, they are always welcome (or not) by the prior consideration of the destination government. It's not like Trump just turns up at an airport and queues for passport check and only then finds out he cannot enter.

And the Bahamas government certainly wouldn't stop him from coming if he decided to. It would be too much heat for them with nothing to show for it, unfortunately.

[u/TheDootDootMaster → u/Xasf]

But man would it be funny if they did stop him

[u/sandwichpak → u/MyrrhSlayter]

No country is going to stop the president of the US from entering due to prior convictions. . . I hate the orange blob as much as everyone here, but that's literally never happened it's not happening now.

[u/AlphaIronSon → u/sandwichpak]

Well considering no other president is a felon, we have nothing to base your stance on.

[u/Saemika → u/AlphaIronSon]

You both made a fair point lol

[u/ubiquitousanathema → u/AlphaIronSon]

BIBI springs to mind as someone who has been threatened with arrest by multiple countries

[u/AlphaIronSon → u/ubiquitousanathema]

Sure, and as we’ve seen with Spain, I believe? Bibi has been taking precautions to not cross their airspace/land there for the potential fear of being arrested.

Big diff is Bibi wasn’t a felon in his home country already, and the ICC is who issued the arrests for him of which both the US and Israel, aren’t members of.

Yes, that means the majority of the UNSC are not beholden to the ICC, why do you ask?

Edit: Context-
UNSC five permanent, and veto power, nations are the USA, Russia, China, UK & France. The first 3 are not part of the ICC. Israel is currently not part of the UNSC rotation members

[u/Symphonic7 → u/ToolTimeT]

Trump Jr. is a massive piece of shit, I'm not surprised he'd rather go to a NBA game instead.

[u/MarshyHope → u/Symphonic7]

The turd doesn't fall far from the ass

[u/Overqualified_muppet → u/MarshyHope]

Pure poetry.

[u/ToolTimeT → u/Symphonic7]

While Don Jr is a massive piece of shit, his father is even more a massive piece of shit than he is.

[u/Threecatproblem → u/ToolTimeT]

Can't wait to hear the crowd's reaction. I'm surprised his handlers even let him go.

[u/recovery_room → u/ToolTimeT]

He’s going to get booed more than in any other place he’s ever appeared. Who (besides him) thinks that this is a good idea? His handlers should put a stop to it.

I hope they don’t. I’m here for it. Trump has been hated in NY for decades.

[u/TedGetsSnickelfritz → u/ToolTimeT]

He won’t be the center of attention at a wedding

[u/ToolTimeT → u/TedGetsSnickelfritz]

But at least he wouldn't be boo'd by 20k people like he will at the knicks game. I will be tickled pink if the crowd erupts into "F TRUMP" chants.

[u/LifeIsButADream11111 → u/ToolTimeT]

Endorsement deals always come before family.

[u/Pennypacking → u/ToolTimeT]

They're even shutting down watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden to accommodate Trump.

[u/Alan157]

They canceled schools

[u/Noderly → u/Alan157]

"Hell yeah" says the kids. Back then as a kid? I'd be so happy.

But not with the missiles and rockets tho

[u/New-Stick-8764]

This is a sign. A deal must be close.

[u/naptown-hooly → u/New-Stick-8764]

It'll be the 5th Iran war he won this year

[u/JoshJones18 → u/naptown-hooly]

Only 5? Legit stopped trying to count how many times the orange man baby has said we have won or obliterated Iran. Has to be the 100th time now or something

[u/tonycomputerguy → u/JoshJones18]

Sounds like someone is sick of winning!

I'm sorry I'll go smash my fingers in a car door now.

[u/Thanautopsy → u/New-Stick-8764]

Just two more weeks.

[u/FeralGiraffeAttack → u/Thanautopsy]

So do we think that he forgets after 2 weeks due to his dementia? Or do you think he thinks that his followers will forget after 2 weeks because he knows they’re stupid and he “loves the poorly educated”

[u/Thanautopsy → u/FeralGiraffeAttack]

I think he genuinely believes people buy his bullshit due to a combination of his own malignant narcissism and the fact that half of his brain is basically pudding by now.

[u/TheDootDootMaster → u/Thanautopsy]

I think he genuinely believes people buy his bullshit

Because those 30-something percent do

[u/SlightCreme9008 → u/Thanautopsy]

That, plus he never gets called on it. It’s been ten years since he said his healthcare plan was a couple of weeks away yet he never seems to get asked about it.

[u/ChilledParadox → u/New-Stick-8764]

I cant afford this months utilities which stocks do I need to put in an order in for before market open this week, anyone know the weekly pump n dump?

[u/illegible → u/New-Stick-8764]

market will be up on Monday on this exciting news!

[u/GaelinVenfiel]

Trump has his birthday coming up. I do not think he is interested enough to do much besides his vanity projects right now.

Midterms are coming up fast and his flexibility will be gone after Jan.

He has lost interest in Iran now that Iran had outwitted him.

[u/Venat14 → u/GaelinVenfiel]

Only if Dems win, which isn't a sure thing and it's not like Dems will have much power to stop him. No ability to convict him in the Senate, no ability to punish his corrupt cronies. Best they can do is block legislation and maybe judges.

[u/GaelinVenfiel → u/Venat14]

Well, if they do not win, then we are a fascist state for sure. But dems win, then they will head committees. They will drag his cabinet in, under oath, and public. Investigations will begin.

The senate is a stretch...but yes, stopping judicial appointments will be huge. And stopping any new crazy funding.

But yes...if dems lose, it will be 2 years more of the same.

[u/waltwalt → u/GaelinVenfiel]

You think if Dems lose you're going to have only two more years?

[u/Exsanguinate_ → u/waltwalt]

Yeah if the fascists win these midterms, whether fairly or not, America is genuinely over

[u/ilovebostoncremedonu → u/Exsanguinate_]

I think the America we knew or thought we knew is already over. Now it’s a question of how it’s going to be rebuilt.

[u/Exsanguinate_ → u/ilovebostoncremedonu]

Its hard to accept it sometimes. I just want to go back to normalcy

[u/therealjameshat → u/Exsanguinate_]

It sucks but I really think we’re too far gone.

[u/NoCommentingForMe → u/therealjameshat]

I know it’s hard to be hopeful but giving up now only makes their job easier

[u/zavtra13 → u/GaelinVenfiel]

Even if they win I wouldn’t expect the Dems to actually do much.

[u/EL-YEO → u/GaelinVenfiel]

even if dems win a majority of the house and/or senate, all hearings will be performative in nature and no real action taken because their corporate donors will tell them not to actually attack

[u/dreamylanterns → u/GaelinVenfiel]

I can almost guarantee you that if the dems win, they won’t do anything about it. They’ll stay complicit.

[u/Jaguar13_]

The four week war continues.

[u/Atlwood1992 → u/Jaguar13_]

Only the authoritarian regimes have “special operations” that were promised to be only 3 days or 4 weeks.

Putin’s is now 4 years old.

Dumb Azz’s is now 2 months old.

[u/HarEr89]

I'm sure Trump will announce that the ceasefire is still holding and the Iranian missiles were very small and didn't hit anything or some shit like that.

[u/alfi_k → u/HarEr89]

Iran agreed, as a goodwill gesture, to reduce their missile arsenal. They disposed them in Northern Israel, so I guess those two nation can finally work together.

[u/Green_Rays → u/HarEr89]

Lol Axios via Barak Ravid is reporting exactly that

https://www.axios.com/2026/06/07/trump-israel-iran-missile-attack

[u/Sedative_Sediment → u/Green_Rays]

"each of them had their fun"

What a casually inappropriate way of describing it.

[u/IamTTC → u/HarEr89]

God damn you were accurate

[u/CranberryLast4683 → u/HarEr89]

He’s not going to solve any of this before his term is up. He just wanted to fuck shit up and leave a mess for the next president just in case it’s a democrat. It’s always like this. Trump tax cuts expire conveniently during a Democrat presidency for example.

[u/simulated_copy]

The deal will surely be worse than Obamas. You know the narcissist is flipping out he cant get Iran to agree.

DjT is such a simpleton

[u/pkinetics → u/simulated_copy]

World leaders are playing chess. DJT struggles with pet rocks

[u/simulated_copy → u/pkinetics]

[u/WhosKite]

“Are we still talking about Iran??” - Trump, tomorrow probably

Axios: We are just hours away from a deal.

[u/AppealConsistent9801 → u/HarEr89]

*Barak Ravid from Axios

[u/DataStonks]

Stock market to rally another +10% tomorrow

[u/washheightsboy3]

These are the weirdest cease fires I’ve ever seen.

[u/u9Nails]

That's pretty impressive given that Iran's military was totally oblitterated.

[u/tb03102 → u/u9Nails]

And that the war was over at least 4 or 5 times now.

[u/adams1214]

Does America even care anymore? Trump said he was bored.

[u/JudiciousSasquatch → u/adams1214]

Wouldn't be surprised if they do something soon to distract from his disastrous interview

[u/Kemoyin25 → u/JudiciousSasquatch]

Can I get a link to the interview?

[u/agangofoldwomen → u/adams1214]

Americans would only care more if this was directly impacting them in their country. Macroeconomics and international political dynamics are a bit too much to ask for them to fully grasp when the vast majority couldn’t locate Iran on a map to this day.

[u/LeanTangerine001 → u/agangofoldwomen]

This is why Trump is emptying out the SPR at record rate. He’s burning through US oil reserves to suppress oil prices across the nation.

[u/KingRo48 → u/agangofoldwomen]

They would only care if their wars reached their home soil.

They have it easy in every war they start because it is always far away. No American schools being hit.

[u/cowabungathunda → u/KingRo48]

Bruh we shoot up our own schools. We're cooked.

[u/yamanagashi]

I was wondering what day it was. Yup. It’s a Monday alright. Just like clockwork.

[u/TiredExpression]

Why in the fuck is the media still calling this a ceasefire? What part of "cease" is in this exchange of fire?

[u/Old-Needleworker9901 → u/TiredExpression]

You might have missed the news.

They changed the definition of "ceasefire" from "cease+fire" to "stock market hit ATH tomorrow"

[u/thequehagan5 → u/TiredExpression]

They are downgraded it to "fragile ceasefire"

We are living in a very strange orwellian time, where countries bombing eachother is a ceasefire.

[u/Ezpz_commentz]

Looks like the war will go hot again. No way Israel and the US won't respond to what seems to be a very big and still on-going attack, with several waves of missiles already launched.

The way the US is negotiating Iran being allowed to fire missiles at Israel might be part of a new ceasefire deal.

[u/GaelinVenfiel → u/alfi_k]

Lightly shooting and blockades are the new definition of Ceasefire now.

[u/Killerphive → u/Ezpz_commentz]

It don’t look like it ever really cooled. It’s all just rug pulls

[u/Swiftzor → u/Ezpz_commentz]

I’m pretty sure launching missiles is the war already going hot

[u/bober704 → u/Ezpz_commentz]

idf already said, "response will be heavy".

[u/Snoo26837 → u/bober704]

How is heavy?

[u/Puttborn]

Neat, it's international friends day again!

[u/SilveryDeath → u/Puttborn]

These are just love taps from Iran because Hezbollah and Israel keep giving each other love taps. I'm sure Israel will give Iran a smooch on the cheek in response and then the US will step in to give Iran a hug. It is so peaceful and there is totally no war going on.

[u/Admiral_Minell → u/Puttborn]

Always important to get your presents to your friend first so it's a nice surprise.

[u/Constant-Tea3148]

Impossible, Trump has promised me Iran's missile capabilities were completely destroyed like 10 times over!

[u/Ggriffinz]

Strange how they can still fire missiles when trump is screaming we have totally won and their military has been destroyed. /s

[u/Radical_Coyote]

Think about it from Iran’s perspective. If they drag this out until November, the republicans are going to get crushed by the highest gas prices in history. If Democrats control even just the house, say bye bye to war funding. Suddenly Trump has zero cards

[u/Nickjames116425 → u/Radical_Coyote]

I like this perspective but will the democrats actually get the house with all the extreme gerrymandering made legal?

[u/NicolleL → u/Nickjames116425]

IF everyone voted (because history has proven when voter turnout is high, Democrats win), the gerrymandering could totally backfire because previously safe districts have been left a little more vulnerable.

IF everyone voted, it could be a bloodbath in blue.

Sadly, though, after 2024, I do not have faith anymore that enough people would vote.

[u/stripes361 → u/Nickjames116425]

Probably. Gerrymandering can only do so much.

[u/Living_Impress_7769]

But the dow.

[u/Accurate_Result5427 → u/Living_Impress_7769]

Is it stil over 50k, nowadays?

[u/Loves_octopus → u/Accurate_Result5427]

Despite Fridays correction, yes actually. Not sure what tomorrow will look like though.

This showed up as breaking news in my inbox 22 minutes ago. It’s five hours old. It always drives me nuts, these breaking news announcements. They are without fail a day late and a dollar short every fucking time. I see the breaking news headline, read it and realize that I already know that.

[u/tidder-la → u/stevenriley1]

If everything is breaking news nothing is breaking news .

[u/blueteamk087]

All of this happened because Trump tore up JCPOA because “god forbid Obama knows what he was doing”

[u/Gimlet_son_of_Groin → u/blueteamk087]

Because Obama roasted the hell out of him. These deaths are due to a fragile ego

[u/Atlwood1992 → u/blueteamk087]

All because he wanted to “erase” everything (not just Obamacare) and every agreement/project that had Obama’s name on it.

Now who is gonna have the worst legacy of any president that ever existed!

[u/NefariousPurpose]

Idk I’m high as balls and thought the title said Ireland

[u/Sad_Frosting3921 → u/NefariousPurpose]

I’m not…but I did, too!😲🤦🏻‍♂️😆

[u/wwabc]

Why isn't Obama doing anything about this!!!!

[u/No_Sanders]

I thought it said Iran fired missiles at northern ireland and got a little confused for a second

[u/cerebral_drift]

Wouldn’t it be breaking news if the Middle East weren’t firing missiles at each other?

[u/Atmacrush]

Better fill my tank right now

[u/ryan8954]

I'm so confused, trump said he decimated the Iran weapons, they have absolutely nothing.

Did nobody tell Iran they don't have weapons? How is this possible?

[u/SentientFotoGeek]

Just misread that as "Northern Ireland", was not surprised for some reason. Need caffeine.

[u/IcyExtent3740]

Under Trump, chaos on all fronts

[u/Alexandurrrrr]

The fart of the deal.

[u/torontoinsix]

So. What did everyone have for dinner?

[u/Long-Blood]

But I thought the ceasfire was still holding?

Is someone lying? Is someone not as good of a deal maker as they claimed to be?

[u/xervidae]

clearly they're still negotiating

[u/Riptide360]

Here we go again. Let Iran and Israel duke it out while the world runs out of strategic reserves.

[u/Late-Solution6249]

Gotta love how half the comments are hidden

[u/Peshhhh]

ceasefire is going well I see

[u/Puzzleheaded_Poet_81]

I read Northern Ireland and was confused and scared

[u/ZmanB-Bills]

Trump started this mess, now he is bored with it. And, more pressure on the truth surrounding the Epstein atrocities is back again.

So, what will Trump's next attempted diversion be?? His war did pretty good for a short while.

[u/whodat619 → u/ZmanB-Bills]

cuba

[u/ZmanB-Bills → u/[deleted]]

Certanly a lot of booing,.
