“Shortly before…Trump was set to address the American people on Wednesday night, Iran declared that it would agree to end the war only if there was regime change in the United States. “The United States is a rogue state led by an unstable ruler,” the Iranian statement read. “Such a madman must not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.” The…ultimatum drew…strong support from Greenland, Canada, and the rest of NATO.” (The Borowitz Report) https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/iran-agrees-to-end-war-only-if-there #satire#trump#usa#iran
Trump behauptet, der Iran sei militärisch zerstört. Gleichzeitig existiert der Staat weiter. Die Regierung steht. Das System funktioniert. Das ist kein Sieg. Das ist Propaganda. Propaganda heißt: Man erzählt etwas, das besser klingt als die Realität. #Trump
Okay, oil seems to have settled in for now at a $6/barrel jump following the shitstain's verbal squirts - at least for the moment. This is as aftermarket as you get for oil, really, so reactions can be either muted or exaggerated - but a jump like this at any time of day is a big yikes under any circumstances.
(Because while this may be a thin time of day for trades, there's not an _actually_ thin time of day for oil in general.)
Not gonna watch. It’s all #lies, exaggeration & bullshit.
In a prime-time address Wednesday, #Trump is expected to describe the #US - #Israel#war against #Iran as a major success that could end in a few weeks.
In what was perhaps a pre-emptive pitch before Trump’s speech, President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran posted an open letter to the US public, warning of the costs of a prolonged war. “Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly & futile than ever before,” said the letter.
Multiple #US#intelligence agencies have assessed in recent days that Tehran is not willing to engage in serious negotiations, because it believes that #Trump himself is not serious about talks, & that #Iran is in a strong position in the #war.
Trump’s address from the White House comes as he has offered conflicting messages this week about his objectives for the war, which has caused #economic fallout across the globe & hundreds of #deaths in Iran & other countries in the region.
Speaking to Reuters Wednesday, #Trump said he no longer cared about the enriched #uranium that #Iran possessed because he claimed it was buried deep underground, buried after the June 2025 strikes. Trump’s comment was sharply at odds with his argument that a main goal of the #war was to prevent Iran from being able to produce an atomic #bomb.
💬 #Trump threatened to stop supplying weapons to #Ukraine unless European countries joined a U.S. military effor to open the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reported on April 1.
I truly appreciate your support and your golden, shining words that constantly encourage me. I always feel proud of what I do, but I want to remind you that I am just like many Gazans who continue to suffer from a lack of income and struggle to provide for their families. I haven't received significant donations for days now; I just want to remind you that I am still in need of your help. Thank you.
It’s been a while since I shared Noor’s journey. As the first medical student in our family, our future doctor needs your support to finish her path. I’ve been away focusing on family, but Noor’s dream remains our priority. We are doing everything we can, but we need you. Please donate to her campaign and help her excel. Every bit counts toward her success!
