@KCCantiaci @admcollingwood It was always about destroying Iran's proxies.....City of London/Davos...and its working

@admcollingwood No… no applause for an orange idiot who started a war, killed a bunch of people, doubled the price of oil, helped Russia, screwed up GCC countries, caused chaos across the world & then claimed a win for opening the SoH that wasn’t closed to begin with.

I think we should all applaud Donald Trump this morning. He accepted the Big L far earlier than I thought he would. This takes a big man. Most wouldn't have done it. Given he has accepted Iranian terms as a basis for negotiations, it seems possible that no agreement will be reached when the US media and political class get stuck into the implications of this. But 10 out of 10 to Trump for doing this before a land invasion and much greater economic pain (yet minus a million for getting into this trap to begin with.)

@EricSpracklen Its not about Iran...it's about their proxies...City of London

Question…why were/are we negotiating with Iran if their entire military has been completely destroyed? What is there to negotiate? I thought they have nothing left. How do they have any leverage whatsoever? None of it makes sense.

@Mongo_FromKongo @Averagelnvestor @SpencerHakimian Oil price down....so I'd say Trump

@sgamlin69 @Averagelnvestor @SpencerHakimian So who won then. 1. Iran didnt charge the passage before 2. Trump comes in, fails to demolish Iran 3. Now US has to pay toll, in Yuan 4. There were US bases in middle east 5. Now most of the bases are decimated 6. US spent trillion usd How did USA actually win anything?

🚨IRAN CONFIRMS AMERICAN SHIPS WILL BE ALLOWED TO CROSS HORMUZ AFTER THEY PAY THE FEE

@commons96055467 You do realise every $10 drop in barrel price is a $20 million windfall per tanker.....Trump winning again

To comply with the ceasefire, any American tankers crossing the Strait of Hormuz, must pay $2 million in Yuan to Iran. The US is experiencing the mother of all humiliations in the eyes of the world.

@Averagelnvestor @SpencerHakimian Yes you must be average to believe Iran won

@SpencerHakimian In our attempts to destroy the regime, we have actually strengthened their position. This is insane

@JoshYoung Oil is going down Josh

When almost every other pundit, analyst and "expert" was bearish oil over the last year, I was calling for these all time high prices. One down, one to go.

Brent oil hit $144.42 today, according to Platts. All time high oil ✅ Next up, all time inflation adjusted high oil?

@ianmiles With what you imbecile

Unbelievable how the White House is declaring a total victory when the ceasefire allows Iran to come out stronger than ever while Trump looks weak.

@theprofsrecord That's how I see it....well said

Never get your news from a foreigner that looks like Quasimodo. The facts: US/Israeli strikes since Feb 28 hammered Iran's navy, nuclear sites, leadership, and military. Iran's weak retaliation? Disrupting the Strait (20% of world oil). Trump delivered blunt deadlines: reopen it fully or face devastating strikes on power plants, bridges, and infrastructure — warning a "whole civilization" could be gone. Today, Trump hit pause with a two-week suspension of attacks — strictly conditioned on Iran's "COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING" of the Strait. Iran folded, accepted the framework, and confirmed safe passage. Oil prices plunged. That's not weakness. That's raw leverage: bleed them militarily, then force the chokepoint open without a forever war. The pause ends if Iran cheats — strikes resume instantly. Sanctions? Pure exaggeration. Only narrow, temporary waivers for ~140 million barrels of already-loaded Iranian oil at sea (to flood markets and crush price spikes) — not "lifting all." Iran's laughable 10-point wishlist (total US surrender, reparations, etc.) is just their fantasy starting bid. Talks kick off Friday in Islamabad; zero concessions locked in. Iran lost warships, bases, revenue, and leverage. Their "blockade" backfired spectacularly. Trump extracted the key demand after bloodying them. Labeling smart pressure + conditional ceasefire as "defeat" is pathetic cope and anti-US fantasy. Reality: America called the shots, Iran blinked first. That's how you win deals — not endless bombing.

@theprofsrecord City of London

Trump’s messaging on Iran should only give you heartache if you think Iran is the real enemy. Iran is nothing more than a proxy for the bankers to keep us in forever wars. When Trump speaks of regime change, he’s talking about the power behind the proxy. Today is way bigger than people realize.

@AshPolitik You mean save

Australians looking at Trumps America, then at One Nation, and thinking, yeah I want to rapidly collaspe Australia too.

@simonateba Yes, if it ends the conflict

BREAKING — Be brutally honest: Do you support the US president using profane language to threaten Iran with hell, as Pres. Trump just did, telling Iran to open the “Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastard, or you’ll be living in hell”? and is it good to bomb power plants? Yes or no?

@MFWitches Gotta love Trump ❤️

@Itx_judith Yes

Are you comfortable with taxpayer money being used to provide soldiers with meals like steak, lobster, and crab?

@Microinteracti1 London.....says it all

He lost it. Trillions of dollars in guaranteed NATO arms contracts, accumulated over decades, the kind of money that arrives whether you deserve it or not, simply because you were the ally everyone trusted. Gone. Art of the Deal. From the man who bankrupted six casinos. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@Arrogance_0024 No do Biden & Afghanistan

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@HurlsDa @Nostre_damus China & Russia with Trump

To be fair, China and Possibly Russia are trying out their latest weaponry through the Iran cover. The US probably didn’t even know they had this tech and are finding out in the battle field for the first time. The US is at war with Russia via Ukraine, and now at war with China via Iran.

I was told Iran has no Air Force & no navy Yet US fighter jets are dropping like flies and the strait is still closed

@rushicrypto You are a idiot

Here is my proposal. Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping. President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Secretary Hegseth resign. All US bases in the Middle East close forever. Iran agrees to abandon regional proxies. The US stops arms shipments to Israel. Iran agrees to not pursue nuclear weapons and allow verification. What do you say?

@glenn_tunes Yawn 🥱

SO THE WORLD WILL BURN BECAUSE AMERICA CANT IMPEACH AND REMOVE A CORRUPT DEMENTED PEDOPHILE TRAITOR 🙄

@mark_porcheddu Jimmy if soft 6 or worse...Tentyris if good/soft 5

TJ Smith I must be missing something. Joliestar's record at the track, at the distance, on soft ground and currently flying yet nobody interested in her. Got to be a huge chance. Good punting. Gamble responsibly.
