President Donald Trump made a sharp reversal and announced that the ceasefire with Iran will continue indefinitely.
“Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal,” the President wrote on Truth Social Tuesday. “I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.”
Can’t wait for all of this to be over. Are American casualties still at 13?
Not sure. I don't follow casualty counts very closely because I have little confidence in their accuracy.
How long until we see the pleb uprising many have predicted. Could it be that there just isn't enough desire to overthrow the leadership?
Its hard for me to trust anyone on this war because we have been lied to so many times. I think many Persians in the US want to beleive their countrymen want to overthrow the regime but I have my doubts. Honestly I wonder if the masses are now less sympathetic to the US and Isreal.
From what I'm seeing (and who knows how accurate that is), the Iranian people are becoming less opposed to their government. Maybe that's BS, but it would be more consistent with how most people react to their country being attacked.
Logically this would make sense. Think about a US state where people that hate the regime leave. Some stay and aren't happy but they are the minority. Then 40 years of propaganda works on the people that live there. Then the enemy they have been told to hate bombs them. Then a few months later does it again and threatens to end their civilization. If that doesn't unite a people what would?
What most people seem unable to do is to place themselves in the shoes of someone they disagree with to see how they would react if they had a different world view.
It’d be interesting to see what’s going on with Venezuelan oil production.
They haven't even managed to meaningfully ramp up US oil production, yet. It takes time to get all the infrastructure in place.
Seems to be very effective so far.
