Trump threatens to retreat from Iran

"The comforting lie, vs the uncomfortable truth".

Gives him something in common with those with whom he wishes to be "mates". A term frequently and likely erroneously used on here.
The RWR lie on this forum with ease.

Meanwhile the humiliation continues for their revered leader. Total capitulation. Iran continues to lob missiles. Strait of Hormuz - closed to the stench of Trump.

The fat orange mess has never looked so weak.
 
This is Trumps way out of this mess.
10 part peace plan which includes Iran been able to run the strait by now charging anything they like for shipping to pass through.
The US to pull out of its bases throughout the region.
Iran to agree to drop its nuclear weapons program.
Looks more like a surrender from the US to me.

The Iranians have been demonstrating in the streets today burning flags of Israel and US flags.. I don't think his warning of ending a civilisation has gone down to well.
 
"....Ninety minutes before his promise that a "whole civilisation will die", Donald Trump stepped back from the brink last night.

He committed to a ceasefire with Iran, with negotiations to begin in Pakistan on Friday.

Iranians are celebrating this as a great success, as a capitulation from the Americans.

The Trump administration is steadfast that it's an American win. And yet, missiles still rain down in Israel, Qatar and Kuwait.

So what next for a president who swings from genocidal threats to embarrassing U-turn?...."
 
For those in any doubt about TACO....

21 March: The first date on which Trump gave Tehran a deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. A failure to do so within 48 hours, he said, would result in US strikes to "obliterate their various POWER PLANTS".

23 March: Citing "VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS" with the Iranian regime, Trump announced a five-day pause on attacks against the country's power plants and energy infrastructure.

26 March: The five-day pause was extended for an extra 10 days, to make room for ongoing talks that are "going very well".

4 April: Trump issues a reminder to Tehran about his deadline, writing on Truth Social that "all hell" will rain down on them (he actually said "reign") should the Strait of Hormuz not be fully reopened.

5 April: The deadline received a minor extension, taking us up to 1am UK time this morning

Weak.

Unpopular.

Humiliated.

Filly will be distraught.
 
Iran seriously weakened, and the straights now open - Trumps done well, the world is now a safer place


meanwhile our warship 'dragon' has managed to get half way there before breaking down, starmer must be so proud

Sounds like Iran broke the ceasefire within an hour by launching further attacks on UAE. Israel insist the ceasefire will not include their actions in Lebanon against Hezbollah, although Iran is trying to insist it will. Israel managed to take out many bridges and rail infrastructure yesterday before the deal came into place so Iran will be limited moving arms and launchers around the country.
But agreed, straits open while talks continue.
Reza Pahlavi has made a speech reaching out to the Iranian Army (not the IRGC) to take control. The next two weeks will be very interesting with internal struggles in Iran. Oh and there have been attacks launched against IRGC militia in Iraq, they think by Kurds but nobody is really sure.

Well done Trump. Will a firm deal ultimately be reached, I doubt it.

Yeah it's a great win for the States and the world.

Users of the Straits, international waters, now subject to paying huge tolls to get their ships through. Magnificent win.

World a safer place? Ha Ha Haaaaa. For how long is the question. A power vacuum left in the area, what could possibly go wrong. I mean, I'm sure the country won't end up under the control of an even more hardcore nutjob, that would never happen.

Trumps done well, he he he, you've got to laugh at statements like that.
