I really think users on this site should lay off on engaging in blind bouts of doomerism, it’s getting hysterical at this point, not saying we should adhere to blind optimism or that we shouldn’t be concerned, but that we should wait and see how things unfold before we start jumping to conclusions on how accepting the ceasefire was a bad move on Iran’s part.

This cements Iran’s de-facto control over the Strait, and enshrines a new legal framework for passage.
Yeah, this ain’t it folks.

Seyed Mohammad Marandi denies claims of General Soleimani’s nieces being detained in the US, saying and I quote.
The daughter of the martyr General Soleimani has just told me that the detainees in the US have nothing to do with General Soleimani - the US Secretary of State’s claim is a lie. They’ve become so desperate that they fabricate lies about a great figure like Haj Qasem, whose very name terrifies them, just to distract world opinion from their defeat by the Iranian nation. Unable to confront Iran, they’ve sunk so low that their goal has shifted from regime change to spreading falsehoods about General Soleimani’s family.
Trump is seeking to pay for his new $1.5 trillion military budget by cutting the following:
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING — Trump Admits Socialism Works
"I have to say, I respect China, because it’s incredible that with a system that, in theory, shouldn’t work—you know, we go to school, we go to the best business schools, we do well in those schools, and we read about free entrepreneurship, and we read about all these different things—
But if you look at China, how well they do, how much they produce. I mean, they produce so many cars that they actually have competitions over who can produce the fewest cars because they have so many cars.
You have to have great respect for China for the work they do. Whether you like them or not, you have to respect them."
Ken Klippenstein believes a ground invasion in Iran isn’t happening.
Military sources tell me that for weeks, the Pentagon has exaggerated the readiness and potency of the Marines, setting in motion a media frenzy that is part stupidity, part disinformation to scare Tehran, and part manipulation to please Donald Trump.
