Believe all women. Thats what he told us right?

Inflation has tripled from just one month ago, and it’s higher than when he took office. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his central campaign promise to make life more affordable - he is actively, directly driving prices up.

🇮🇷 Iran's biggest problem at the negotiating table might be one it created itself... The NYT reports Iran can't fully reopen Hormuz because it literally cannot find all the mines it planted. The IRGC used small boats to mine the Strait haphazardly in the early days of the war. Some mines were placed without recording exact locations. Others have drifted from where they were originally set. Araghchi's reference to "technical limitations" when announcing the Strait would reopen was diplomatic language for "we mined our own waterway and can't undo it." Neither Iran nor the U.S. has robust mine-clearing capability. The U.S. relies on a handful of littoral combat ships for the job. Iran doesn't have the equipment at all. Removing sea mines is exponentially harder than laying them, the same asymmetry that defined the entire war applied in reverse. Trump demanded "COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING." Iran can offer partial, gradual, and uncertain. Source: NYT
