Trump met with military advisors today. Possible military option would be a long weekend of heavy bombing and then just declare victory and let everyone else deal with reopening the strait.
Today I saw of video of Israel air striking paramedics who were coming to aid civilians in southern Lebanon. There are now over 140 paramedics murdered since March in Lebanon.
I saw another video of Israel citizens who set up an outdoor movie theatre and are cheering to to videos of Souther Lebanon villages being destroyed. Not videos of Hezbollah soldiers or bases getting hit but the large scale destruction of villages.
Today Israel continues to call for evacuation of blocks in Gaza city and are sending air strikes on an already destroyed city. You of course will not say anything about this because Israel ethnically cleansing the region is ok in your eyes.
Why don’t you use your registered account, Newname? Got something to hide or is only a Hamas/Iran bot?
Sorry genius. I only post under my registered account. I am only one of many who see Israel for what it is. Why don't you register your name?

Iranian airspace is close. lots of jamming going on around GCC states. Iran has placed its military on high alert.
What may be the difference this time is that there are reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate Ivanka Trump. W Bush started the Iraq war after Saddam tried to assassinate his dad.

Looks like US/Israel restarts the hot war this week-end
Tulsi Gabbard just announced that she is resigning due to her husband having a rare form of bone cancer. She seemed to have been frozen out of the Nat Sec team on Iran. So, this resignation may not mean anything.
But it is interesting that it is coming just as Iran negotiations seem to be reaching a critical juncture. Diplomacy is currently in high gear with some expectation that US and Iran will agree to a thirty day deal that will open the strait, end fighting and give time to resolve nukes. The hawks in the Trump admin still want to strike Iran and may be given the opportunity to launch a performative and limited attack to try and increase pressure on Iran. Whether that results in the typical performative response from Iran or something that traps the US in escalation remains to be seen.
She should have resigned because of a common form of moral cancer, found amongst Trumpers.
I am in the Oval Office at the White House where we just had a very good call with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE. 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, as listed. Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
TACO time? Deal seems to be strait opens but Iran retains control. Blockade lifted. Billions in seized funds returned to Iran. US pulls military back from Gulf.
Sticking point at the 11th hour is Iran retreating control of the strait. US says they won’t. Iran says they will. Ooops.
The Iranian government seemed to be in jubilant mood, preparing to claim a massive and historic victory over its two great foes, the US and Israel. Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian said: “What has guaranteed the preservation and stability of the country is the solidarity and empathy of the people.”
The deal reportedly offers Iran sanctions relief and the unlocking of as much as $20bn frozen assets in return for Iran reopening the strait of Hormuz and agreeing to negotiate on its nuclear programme over the next 60 days starting on 5 June in Pakistan. Details of the final points of dispute were not released. At least $12bn of the assets are in Qatar.
The deal also reportedly requires Iran and the US, and their allies, to cease fighting, and for Israel to end its offensive in Lebanon.

Ted Cruz, Republican senator for Texas, warned if the war’s conclusion “is to be an Iranian regime – still run by Islamists who chant “death to America” – now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium and develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake”.
About sums it up, and looks to be directly where we are headed. this appears to have been the most disastrous war in recent american history and that really is an achievement.
I cant see a single one of Trumps original aims being significantly met, relevant, or not countered / made irrelevant by the progress that Iran has now made.
This is the worst deal ever. Look out Cuba, Trump is gonna need a distraction to avoid this embarassment.

So this is what Trump means when he demands UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! That is also TOTALLY OBLITERATED multiple times.

How precious is it that the one time GOP senators find a backbone and stand up to Trump publicly is to monger for more war on behalf of Israel? Giving up and making concessions, as Trump is attempting to do, is the only practical option. This was an unwinnable war from the start.
Of course, this is now all going to be scuttled (for what, the 9th time?). If the media and GOP just played along and acted like this were a huge accomplishment instead of capitulation, as they normally would for Dear Leader, the war might actually end. Instead they will provoke the most easily manipulated man on earth. Everyone knows that Tump's ego wont tolerate the perception that he lost. We will see a complete 180 by tomorrow. The War is back on. Take it to the bank.
Or maybe there is no deal. It looked like there was a breakthrough on Iran either diluting or shipping some of its enriched uranium off to Russia. But Iran is insisting that nuke negotiations will take place later. Status of the Strait is also not clear. GCC states are over the war and need their oil money asap. They are pushing Trump to get the strait open again. Trump is bored and wants to invade Cuba instead.
