Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

@cfromhertz Listen what the President is saying, not what is actually happening. Words matter more than bombs.

I lost $ today...but it is one day
I did not make many changes today . Why?
The indices did not lose their 5d MAs (even IWM which was really weak) so no change in short term trend
Thursday's are generally the weakest day of the week so really didn't draw many conclusions today b/c 1d is not a trend and many strong stocks need a breather (way extended above 5d MA)

@TVNewsNow @brithume @BretBaier Unless Iran was seeking a military confrontation to push the President’s hand with Congress?

🚨 NEW: Fox’s @brithume: “Despite Senator Blumenthal’s claim that Iran has a lot of cards, the truth is every time Iran tries to play one, nothing much happens. It failed again today.”
“Iran has taken terrible damage but I still think the Iranian negotiators still think they one more thing than Trump — and that’s time. The mid terms are bearing down, fuel prices are high in the U.S. and rest of the world.”
“I think Iran, which as General Keane points out, doesn’t care at all about its people, is willing to let them suffer as it waits the President out. Which is why I think they’re unlikely to accept the stringent terms the administration has proposed.”

@Grit_Capital At least he eliminated government waste, or reduced the national debt, or ended wars around the world? Wait…No dudes playing women’s sports. #winning

Trump: A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question - But they'll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we'll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don't get their Deal signed, FAST!

BREAKING: 🔴 U.S. President Donald Trump: "Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave! A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST! Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.” President DONALD J. TRUMP."

IF SAUDI DID ACTUALLY RESTRICT THEIR AIRSPACE TO THE US, THAT'S THEM STICKING UP FOR THE UAE
Saudi and Kuwait restricted their airspace when the US didn't retaliate after Iran bombed the UAE's Fujairah
Today they lifted that restriction, and the US bombed Iran

@zerohedge Did Centcom write this specifically to the Chinese?
English
Centcom: US forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman. Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.
