Iran just told Trump to go ahead and pull the trigger. Thirty-three hours left on the clock, and Tehran didn’t blink. It escalated. Trump threatened to obliterate Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz wasn’t open for business within 48 hours. A reasonable person might have expected some back-channel signal, a quiet diplomatic murmur, maybe a phone call through Oman. Instead, Iran’s senior military command walked up to the microphone and announced that its entire strategic posture has shifted. Not defensive. Offensive. The country has enough reserves to last a year. The Strait is closing completely. Every vital piece of infrastructure in the Middle East, energy, water desalination, IT, is now a declared target. This is not a country signalling that it wants a way out. This is a country that has decided the cost of backing down exceeds the cost of the wall it’s about to hit. Which puts Trump in the kind of position he has never actually been in before: a deadline he set, in public, that the other side just laughed at. He can obliterate the power plants. In which case Iran closes the Strait, hits the desalination plants that keep Saudi Arabia and the UAE alive, and about a fifth of the world’s oil supply disappears overnight. Markets open Monday to scenes that make 2008 look like a minor correction. Or he doesn’t. In which case every adversary on earth just watched the President of the United States issue an ultimatum and absorb a public humiliation in real time. There is no clean exit here. There is no art to this deal. Thirty-three hours. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Pierre Poilievre finally lands his "we've got the most dirt" line


Trump: "I flew to Iraq. I was extremely brave. So brave I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor ... someday I'm gonna try. I'll test the law."
