I demand a recount!
Worst war ever.
 
With regards to TACO, I don't know that Trump could really back down from such an explicit deadline. But it looks like Israel's hedging their bets. Israel announced they'd start targeting Iranian infrastructure 6 hours ago, and as of 5 hours ago there's been multiple strikes in Tehran and blackouts. So it seems like Israel ignored the deadline and began the escalation that Iran said would result in them attacking infrastructure across the region and mining the entire Gulf, to avoid Trump backing down, because Israel can do what it wants.

lol. lmao even. strait is still closed and the global narrative is once again TACO. so what's the plan now, boys? does anyone even know?
 
Have a bit of a take here:
Leadership in Iran will want to drag out the war for as long as possible to keep Trump trapped in it. They did the same with the Iran hostage crisis and that shit plagued Jimmy Carter until the very end of his presidency where they intentionally dragged out negotiations until after Regan was sworn in. As long as there are people to give orders and maintain the hierarchy, this war will drag on. The only way this ends even somewhat cleanly is if the people manage to overthrow the current regime and install a provisional government.
 
If he strikes he's insane, if he does not he TACOed.
both options could have been avoided if he didn't make the threat in the first place. did he not know the repercussions? how the fuck could he not know what iran would do in response if we took out their power plants? they would obviously respond in kind if we took out their power plants, or did the white house brain trust not know, or was it all for show and the joke's on me?

You're about to be told to read the Art of the Deal by someone.
 
Isn't this the usual Trump psyops? he said the same regarding a deal with Iran right before the war started, I find it hard to believe this isn't part of the strategy at confusing everyone while CENTCOM and Israel have their own plans.
This is the market game. 5 days is friday afternoon after the market closes. Trump knows it will be a financial bloodbath the moment he escalates this war and he's hoping other opportunities to zig and zag open up between now and then. At the moment, I believe Iran called his bluff and there were no talks.
