“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely.”
God it’s so simple people.
The Iran war cannot end until MAGA consolidates power. They are slowly doing it, but aren’t at the point yet where they can just rip the mask off.
They can’t go to full on war because they’re afraid of being chased out of office while there are still functioning democratic mechanisms. They can’t just retreat, as Israel will just step in and cause point 1 to be an issue.
This back and forth, “deal is imminent” BS is an obvious ploy to buy time, nothing more. The rest of the world is getting impatient but can’t control the situation at all.
This has 0 to do with Iran, or nuclear weapons/material, etc. This is 100% a distraction war being delicately balanced to last as long as possible without blowing up completely. As soon as MAGA feels enough of the fix is in, they’ll abandon Israel and the Middle East and leave it to go to shit.
It’s May 26. Six months at the most until no one can deny MAGA is a full blown fascist regime.
Or do you really think Trump is building a survival bunker ballroom that he’ll only use for a handful of weeks if at all. Or you think Trump is doing it “for future presidents” lol.
