I’m copying 2 of my last posts from the prior Iran War thread into here: prior thread at https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/120785/
First one:
I have some fantastic news hot off the press: (sarcasm)
“The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat. Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

2nd one:
DT posted the above “fantastic” news at 10:05PM ET.
Check out what happened to Hyperliquid crude oil immediately afterward, a $3 drop to <$83!! That alone may have made the $100K monthly fee for Truth API worth it! Maybe this was done to get more $100K/month sales of Truth API?? <G>
Seriously, there’s almost certainly some major league insider trading going on here! This cannot possibly be legal, can it?!? This is day 1 of the launch of the 100K/month Truth Social API!
I posted more on this in the great MM thread on insider trading. Please go there for a later graph/more details!!

Thanks very much, Larry for starting this new thread! Previous link here:

How many times now has Donald Trump made "end of civilization" type threats to Iran and called them off?
The off the charts uncertainty continues but 1 thing we can say with certainty about the last 5 months.
Donald Trump started this and everything that he has done to try to get out of it has not worked.
But you know what they say: XXth time is a charm................errr, isn't that supposed to be 3

The leaders of IRAN want Donald Trump to keep making lunatic threats like an unhinged madman!
Part of Donald Trump's strategy has been to make those threats, then each time after that tell us that his threats scared the leaders of Iran so much that they are begging him for a deal and that the world should, once again be in awe of the mighty words of Donald Trump that cause nations to bow down before him.

Its just another example of this:
There is absolute certainty in these 2 items and they will only be getting worse!

Iranian state media says Iran has shown no signs of changing its stance on the Strait of Hormuz and has yet to acknowledge talks.
