Did the price of oil get to Don?

Indeed. Biden and Trump are two people who had no business ever being president.

Did Biden experience mental decline during his term? Yes. Was he qualified to be prez for the vast majority of it? Yes. Was he surrounded by capable aids with the best interests of the country in mind all during his tenure? Yes. Was/is trump? No.

Joe was mentally in decline before the election. The ultimate stolen election in American history.

It's TACO Tuesday as Iran doesn't seem to be intimidated by Don's bluster. So with the deadline for his promise to commit war crimes fast approaching he extended the deadline.

Why? Cuz oil was up 6% today on the risk hostilities would resume.

You do have Iran tattoed on your butt dont you?

Have any of you nitwits considered it took about 20 months of negotiations to come to an agreement with Iran culminating with the JCPOA? The current negotiation, one of great magnitude and complexity, could take months to conclude.

What will happen to global growth if oil stays in the neighborhood of $90-100 for months?

He's either a war monger or TACO. You people don't want to be pleased. It appears like he's doing exactly as the pope has asked. He's bending over backwards to try to reach a negotiated settlement. War is the last resort, and he's doing everything to avoid it. Highly commendable. Also commendable and necessary is standing firm about Iran not being able to develop nukes. He disabled their military with a minimum loss of life. The guy is doing everything perfectly as he can do it. You should support him.

This morning during an interview on CNBC he said he wouldn't extend the ceasefire unless there was a signed agreement or the prospect of one. That he didn't want to extend it.

There are no scheduled negotiations.

But it's TACO Tuesday so...........................................

Oil Prices Tumble After Trump Pauses Hormuz Operation and Claims Progress in Talks​

President Trump’s decision to pause the U.S. Navy’s effort to guide stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz followed a request from countries including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan said. In a social media post on Wednesday, Sharif thanked the president for his “gracious response” to their request and cast it as a step toward regional peace. “We are very hopeful that the current momentum will lead to a lasting agreement that secures durable peace and stability for the region and beyond,” he said. Pakistan has been mediating between Iran and the United States.

Oil is at $90 today. The stock market is overjoyed. Global growth is just fine.

The JCPOA was a joke. A 10-year delay after which, starting in 2026, Iran could legally have nukes. We need to see the final agreement with Iran, but it should contain a "no nukes ever" term.

As always, you are ignorant of the facts. Why? Because you trust liars to tell you the truth.

Claim 17: The deal, if implemented, will expire after 10 or 15 years and allow Iran to build a nuclear weapon at that time.​

The Facts:​

According to the comprehensive agreement, for at least 15 years, Iran will only enrich uranium up to 3.67 percent (uranium enriched at 20% or lower is considered low enriched uranium (LEU); uranium enriched above 90% is weapons grade.)

This does not, however, mean that on day one of year 16, Iran will have enough weapons-grade uranium to build a bomb. Yes, after 15 years Iran could begin enriching uranium beyond 3.67 percent. But without this deal, Iran could head for a bomb tomorrow.

Some aspects of the agreement will last 25 years, including the monitoring of Iran’s uranium mines and supply chain. Other aspects, such as the implementation of robust IAEA safeguards and access to investigate suspicious sites for illicit nuclear activity, are permanent. Regardless of what specific restrictions are lifted, Iran is still prohibited from pursuing nuclear weapons. Any activity that is clearly not intended for “peaceful use” (i.e. highly enriching uranium) will raise red flags and trigger a response from the international community.

Ultimately, the deal rolls back Iran’s nuclear program for more than a decade, pushing Iran’s “breakout time” (time it would take to enrich enough nuclear material for 1 nuclear weapon) from a few months to at least one year. It also gives IAEA inspectors greater insight for monitoring Iran’s nuclear program well into the future.

U.S., Iran signal peace progress — but remain at odds over enriched uranium, Strait of Hormuz tolls​

The U.S. and Iran have signaled progress in talks to end the war, but the combatants remain at loggerheads over Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile and tolls on the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday said there were “good signs” that an agreement to end the conflict is in sight, but warned any such deal would be “unfeasible” if Iran pursues measures to permanently control shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

“No one in the world is in favor of a tolling system. It can’t happen [and] it would be unacceptable,” Rubio told reporters in Miami, Florida.

“If we can’t get a good deal, the president’s been clear he has other options,” Rubio said, without elaborating.

It comes shortly after Iran said the latest proposal from the U.S. had brought the two warring sides closer to a peace deal. The Islamic Republic is currently in the process of reviewing the views of the American side, with an ongoing exchange of messages based on Iran’s original 14-point framework from several weeks ago.

Trump says Iran deal reopening Strait of Hormuz ‘largely negotiated,’ will be announced soon​

President Donald Trump said Saturday that a peace deal with Iran that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz is “largely negotiated” and will be announced shortly, a development that could end a conflict that has choked global energy markets and pushed U.S. inflation to its highest level in years.

Trump said in a social media post that he held calls from the Oval Office with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, all focused on finalizing terms with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries,” Trump said in the post.

Details of the agreement are being discussed “and will be announced shortly,” he said, including reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for global energy trade.

The deal under discussion includes a memorandum of understanding as a first phase, Iran’s foreign ministry said Saturday, before broader talks within 30 to 60 days.

The parties involved have agreed to agree to keep taking to see if they can agree on something permanent later. Meanwhile, the Strait will be opened.

Trump has to "negotiate" a "deal" now. This started as "complete surrender", and now Iran is already rebuilding.

So is Iran in better shape after this ridiculous, embarrassing, expensive debacle? I guess we'll see.
