Iran accepting the ceasefire was reportedly driven by a "last-minute intervention by China”
The only clear winners of Trump's Iran War: the speculators who made hundreds of millions trading on Mar a Lago inside information.
Yes, confirmed via Iranian state media (Fars News Agency). They announced a "complete closure" of the Strait of Hormuz today, citing Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon as a ceasefire violation. This follows Trump's two-week US-Iran deal announced yesterday, which required Iran to reopen the strait for safe tanker traffic. White House calls reports overstated, but traffic has halted sharply. Situation fluid.
the United States got a two-week trial of a strait that was already open.
President Trump likely doesn't know (and maybe doesn't care) that he just admitted in a TruthSocial post that he lied to the American ppl and world about why he chose to start this war w Iran on 28 February. We should not let this go.
In this post, he boasts that *none* of the reprocessed nuclear material allegedly buried in the June 2025 attack, has been moved since Operation Midnight Hammer. It has been under "exacting Satellite Surveillance" he boasted, so its definitely still there. He even went so far as to say we'll help them "dig up and remove" said material. One big problem with that boast:
He and his chosen "negotiator" Steve Witkoff sounded the alarm from every TV and Cable outlet in America that Iran was "about a week" away from a nuclear bomb, and therefore posed "an imminent threat."
That was a known lie.
We, therefore, didn't merely violate the U.S. Constitution by going to full-on war without Congressional declaration or authorization, didn't just violate American law, didn't even primarily violate international law: The President of the United States knowingly took America to war - sacrificing the lives of at least 13 Americans and the wounding of nearly 400 others - based on pure fraud and a desire to seize the oil from another country.
To add insult to injury, he also got us into a war we couldn't win. At the moment we have a ceasefire, but an end-of-war negotiated settlement is far from done; this could turn back hot again at any moment.
(2023) It's Trump team & grifters inc Nader, Flynn, Giuliani, Kushner et al., in cahoots with Putin to drop sanctions on Russia, plus gain approval for selling nuclear to MBS' Saudi, along with UAE, Egypt & Israel via 'Red Sea' org, wish to co-opt Putin vs Iran. During the Trump administration, congressional probes and whistleblowers documented efforts to accelerate nuclear technology transfers to Saudi Arabia involving Kushner and Michael Flynn, raising legal and national security concerns over potential misuse for weapons development.
This means not only the rapid militarization of the Arabian Peninsula and the building of strategic relations with Israel, but also the resumption of discussions about the advisability of the UAE and Saudi Arabia developing their own nuclear weapons.

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, has been participating in U.S. diplomacy in the Middle East while seeking billions of dollars for his private equity firm from sovereign wealth funds controlled by the same governments involved in those negotiations.
