if trump just walks away now claiming victory, he will have created an ongoing mess, much worse than before he started this war. If he continues, his maga base are going to lose patience with him quickly. I have no idea what option he will choose

Agree and if he really kicked this off because Netanyahu pushed for it, that just makes the whole thing look even more naďve — no serious leader should be dragged into a war on someone else’s whim. At this point, whichever option he picks comes with fallout he can’t dodge.

If the Iran deal had stayed in place, there’s a good chance this whole situation would be a lot less volatile. It wasn’t perfect, but it kept things contained and gave both sides a way to de‑escalate. Once it was torn up, Iran stopped complying, tensions ramped up, and everything became more unpredictable.

And let’s be honest — a big part of why it had to go was simply because Obama’s name was on it. That’s the kind of decision‑making that’s been criticised for years: scrapping a functioning agreement not because it failed, but because it came from the previous administration. It’s hard to call that anything other than poor leadership, especially when the fallout is exactly what people warned about at the time.

I don't think the Americans will will this war so easily. Iran is hellbent on revenge now and who can blame them.
I want the Iranian people to have their freedom, so hopefully it will happen for them.

Is there any chance that Trump will realise that Iran are not gonna fold easily and he just walks away from the war leaving everyone else to sort his mess out ?

yes, he could walk away. I think his latest plan is to take that oil terminal island, put marines on it and basically choke off irans capability to earn any oil money and force them to negotiate

Trump has the support of several important countries in the Middle East who all understand what a threat Iran is to the world. I don't think anyone's walking away.

I so want the Iranian people to be free. I hope they get some real change.

Similar to Hamas in Palestine, the Iranians will only be free if their regime is wiped out.

Sad news. If it's true. We always hear about the schoolgirls and the medics, hardly a word though, about the terrorists these countries harbour.

A NYC Trader was Live on LBC
said Fertilizer price volatility
It's already affecting the World Food Stock

The Strait of Hormuz Closed is why.



Example:


[Fertilizer price volatility leaves USA North Carolina
farmers in limbo ]


[Farmers across North Carolina and beyond
are facing mounting uncertainty as fertilizer prices
fluctuate by the minute,
driven in part by global instability and supply
chain challenges tied to the conflict in Iran.

For farmer Cameron Simpson, the impact
is already visible when he goes to purchase
the fertilizer he needs for his crops.

Simpson relies on liquid nitrogen, a key fertilizer
that helps his fields of red winter wheat thrive
and eventually become products like crackers
on store shelves. But this season,
he and many of his neighbors
are struggling to secure what they need.]
