Trump is really desperate for a deal. His reaction shows it. 
Israel Hit Beirut, Iran Retaliated
The Wall Street Journal reports Iran Fires Waves of Missiles at Israel After Israeli Airstrike on Beirut
Iran fired at least four waves of missiles toward Israel on Sunday in response to a deadly Israeli airstrike on Beirut hours earlier targeting the Tehran-backed militants Hezbollah.
The attack marks the first time Iran has targeted Israel since its ceasefire with the U.S. went into force in early April and threatens to escalate a conflict that has been largely contained since then, despite a series of lower-intensity skirmishes.
“The Iranian regime made a serious mistake,” an Israeli military spokesperson said, adding that Israel would continue its operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel said that it intercepted the Iranian missiles and that there were no reported injuries. Iran warned it would respond with greater force against Israel and its allies should Israel retaliate.
President Trump appeared to be trying to de-escalate the situation, telling reporters at Fox News and Axios that he was pressing Iran and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stand down.
Fox News said Trump told its chief foreign correspondent, Trey Yingst, in an interview, “What I would suggest to Iran: You’ve shot your missiles, that’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.”
Later, he told the Financial Times that he would dictate the terms of the war to Netanyahu. “I call all the shots,” the British news organization reported Trump said. “He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.”
In the interview on Fox News on Sunday, Trump said the latest Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon weren’t coordinated with the U.S. But for weeks U.S. officials have said Washington supports Israel defending itself against attacks from the Iranian proxy.
Last week, Trump held a tense call with Netanyahu and demanded that Israel halt strikes in Beirut, amid pressure from Tehran to end Israeli operations against Hezbollah, an Iranian ally. Netanyahu agreed but said any more direct attacks on Israeli territory by Hezbollah would be met with attacks on Beirut.
Who’s Calling the Shots?
Iranian Official
Iranian official says, “At this point, reaching an agreement [with Trump] is not really feasible.”
“The primary person responsible for the current situation is Donald Trump himself,” the Iranian official told me, referring to Israel’s massive escalation in its attacks against Lebanon and Iran’s retaliatory strikes against Israel.
“Should Israel carry out another attack on Beirut in the coming days, missiles will immediately target areas within the occupied territories in retaliation,” the official said.
“For nearly 20 days, the draft of a potential agreement has been on [Trump’s] desk,” said the official, adding that Trump is “driven by his fear of the Israeli lobby and his hope that the naval blockade plan will prove effective.” “Iran will no longer accept or tolerate his current position.”
The two central issues the official emphasized are: Israel’s war against Lebanon and expanded occupation of the south; and Trump’s refusal to unfreeze Iranian funds for reconstruction.
Netanyahu Not My Boss
I need to make a note here.
Note: Trump says “Netanyahu not my boss.”
Israel Spying on the US
Iran’s Demand
Humiliation for Whom?
Answer: Trump
The Last Word
Bottom Line
Trump is really desperate for a deal.
If Trump wanted to escalate, Iran gave Trump every reason.
For discussion, please see Trump Keeps Testing the Iran Ceasefire but Does Not Want to Break it. Why?
I stick with my assessment. Trump will eventually make a deal suitable to Iran, nothing like Trump demanded.
102 days. We are norther than 1B Barrels lost. But the market is yawning and still believing the word of POTUS and pricing the WTI below 90$…incredible!
there never was a ceasefire. maybe don’t believe headlines? seems like the better strategy, eh?
want an end to the war? liquidate mullahs.
Trumpanyahu is joined at the hip and Bibi is driving the bus.
are you a mullah?
Prisoners’ dilemma. Circular firing squad.”Your move!”
Trump is definitely in de-escalation mode. Iran is wearing him down. Maybe he will decide on a regime change in Israel. That would be wonderful for all concerned.
Don’t kid yourself. Israel has the weakling cuck by the short hairs.
spoken like someone who is comfortable being cucked.
This whole thing is a feature not a bug. The Pentagon is implementing its full plan. The straits of Hormuz, Gibraltar and Malacca are all being taken over by US ships for geopolitical purposes. The point is to cause chaos and sell the world weapons.
Gun bloat diplomacy?
more nonsense conclusions. lay off the red bull, bubba.
It is BOTH TRUMP and CONGRESS that collectively report to Israel.
One of the most Primary Bribes flows in from them into Congress. It is likely Top 20 in Bribery Volumes.
Trump says, “believe me”…

Both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on “Peace” are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way. The Blockade will remain in place, and in full force and effect, until a “Final Deal” is reached. Things should move quickly. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
And…futures are up this morning across the board.
Another Market Manipulation Monday!
And oil has dropped 50% from it’s highs overnight.
By now a child could have seen this coming (Trump spewing BS to jawbone markets down). It’s Trump and Israel acting like good cop bad cop to get Iran back to the table for talks.
It will fail and this “ceasefire” wont last.
the epsein war it all started because the files were getting too much attention and it worked. He will keep it in the headlines as long as possible so the attention does not return to the thousands of times he is in fhe files and the fact that he is a molester and thief.
“The Molester in Chief Thief.”
I was livid when I heard that Trump had ordered strikes against Iran. It’s pretty obvious that he and his advisors (assuming he listens to them) did not have a plan regarding Iran. He probably said, “Let’s attack and see what happens….” No strategy whatsoever and no coordination with Allies prior to initiating this debacle. Trump is trying to save face. My fear is that he is so stubborn, he will commit troops to the ground to prove his point, whatever that point may be.
Israel will give Trump no choice.
BREAKING: Iran says it has now fully blocked the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, along with the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz, with the next step being strikes on oil, gas and energy infrastructure of US-allied Gulf countries in response to today’s Israeli strikes
It’s so depressing watching this totally incompetent man with the worldview of a spoiled 5 year old try to navigate the mess he’s made. It’s like watching a toddler with a soggy diaper terrorized a daycare center
The only way this gets fixed is if some adults get put in charge to deal with these guys:

Israel is the Soggy Diaper? Suggesting an edit here.
LOL! Well done sir!
I think Trump is tired of Israel making him look bad. Let’s face it, if it was up to Israel to deal with this, it would have been over months ago! They don’t play around or waste time with BS, which Trump is doing.
It would appear that Trump is more concerned with how his decisions will make him look. While Israel makes a decision, acts on it immediately, and problem solved. Israel is not looking for anything but Victory, and swiftly, with no apologies, no fuss, and done right the first time.
I have always disliked Trumps Ego, as it gets in the way of good decision making. Trump has allowed this to drag on and on and on some more, while he complains about it, and yet He Is In Control, or should be, if he cared less about how it will look, and just got the damn job done.
If they are so decimated, as Trump seems to believe, and repeat over and over, then why are they in control, and why does Trump have to keep explaining how he is, when it appears he is not!
Trump has been bought by the “Greater Israel” project, where his part is to deliver materiel and men in that service.
The difficulty for him is that his slogan of “America First” does not match up with the goals of “Greater Israel” but he must dance to his money master’s tune.
When the claim of “nukes in two” weeks he must dance.
It is clear that “it doesn’t matter to him”–it’s said that many times. It’s his owner, Israel, that is holding him and the US to their promises.
As for your statement that Israel could do what they want in a short time without the US, that’s silly. Why else has Israel spend decades trying to direct and control the religious, political, and military power of the US
You’ve already forgotten about Operation Rising Lion, where Israel attacked Iran, Iran responded with a volley of missiles, so Israel went crying to Trump a week later for the US to bomb those nuclear facilities?
“While Israel makes a decision, acts on it immediately, and problem solved.”
LOL! Israel has been murdering its neighbors for 80 years, and continues to do so. It has never solved a single problem. It has a fundamental problem: it is a state founded on religious exclusion and theft from its neighbors. The only way to survive is through murder, and getting like-minded people (conservative “Christians”) to support them.
Israel is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism
No, Israel is only second. The United States is first.
Trump can seethe and rage and it won’t change anything. Israel has The Files, and that is like having a shock collar turned up to Maximum Pain and wrapped around his teeny tiny little todger.
Trump is not tired of anything long enough, or enthused about anything long enough, to make sensible policy or communications about it. It’s all blather. He’s wallowing, with the biggest gun collection, but nevertheless impotently, because his strategy is such a hash.
Watch Life, Liberty and Levin on FOX Sunday night for a history lesson on how Stalin played FDR despite Churchills repeated counsel and warnings. He compares this history to how Iran is playing Trump in spite of Netanyahu’s warning about how Iran is not to be trusted.
Trump’s problem in everything is that he acts in the moment. He has no long-term vision. He wants a victory that he can talk about and move on to whatever shiny trinket gets waved in front of his face that morning.
So Netanyahu didn’t play Trump with tales of how easy toppling the Iranian government would be? Or how close Iran was to getting a bomb? “Two weeks, two weeks, two weeks, two weeks!” Or that there was a suitable underground ready to take to the streets? Or that Trump would look like a hero, a powerful war lord hero, like no other hero in history, Nobel Prize worthy.
If anyone’s been playing anyone it’s been Bibi playing Trump like a fiddle and really there’s no country in the Middle East that can be trusted. Shalom.

At this point Israel and Iran are not paying attention to his blathering as what he says is so detached from reality. Both Israel and Iran are in a fighting mood and negotiations are dead in the water.
Great insight, thanks.
Wow, sounds like you’re finally coming around.
he is turning as fast as a snail, but at least is turning.
She’s experiencing better living through chemistry
Wow, I thought you guys were sure he was the stable genius who would drain the swamp and make America Great again.
Nuance people, nuance!
Mark Levin is a f*cking madman. And barely an American.
He’s gone too long without being punched in the mouth for the things he says.
Correction….barely a human.
I mostly agree with this. And sure, Iran is not to be trusted. But you leave unsaid that the USA and Israel are certainly not to be trusted either. Israel has already just about all the promises they made about Gaza, for example. And noone on this planet trusts Trump at this stage for any commitment beyond the next hour.
Why isn’t Iran to be trusted? They signed the JCPOA with the US and followed its dictates precisely.
“Trump’s problem in everything is that he acts in the moment. He has no long-term vision. He wants a victory that he can talk about and move on to whatever shiny trinket gets waved in front of his face that morning.”
Sure. Which is just one of the things that makes him completely unfit to be President. And which is why every thinking American refused to vote for him. Some of the other thing that make him completely unfit include the fact that he’s a malignant narcissist, a renowned conman, and he’s dumb as a stump. But glad to see you are at least starting to parrot Fox News on stuff that’s opposed to the party line.
Had the Dems understood that Harris would be a failed candidate, that she had achieved the Peter Principle long ago, that she was essentially a DEI hire, had they held an open primary to replace Biden, the candidate who won, likely Newsom of CA, instead of anointing Harris, the Dem candidate would have almost surely won and the world would never have heard from Trump again.
Choices have consequences! The Dems made a bad choice in choosing Harris to represent them in the 2024 election.
Everything we see today flows from that single bad choice.
Quit Flattering Mr. T.
I got a good chuckle over your suggestion to watch anything from Mark Levin. Thanks.
Mark Levin is a Zogbot supremacist that believes if you’re not in his ethno-religious cult that you’re a soulless animal (goyim). Also, you might want to do some research on who led the Bolshevik Revolution.
Iran might seem like a “Stalin” from Israel’s POV, but it is nothing like that from a global or even USA POV. I agree that FDR was played by Stalin and Churchill had it right, but the parallel from any serious historical perspective is beneath mediocre. This is a multipolar world, completely not the looming Cold War, Russia isn’t what the USSR was, it lacks even its recent reach into the Middle east. Iran is merely a middle power, like Israel. This attempted analogy is aimed at an ignorant audience, or else one incentivized to grasp for confirmation of its wish list.

Bibi be like “Trump who? Doesn’t he work for Mark Levin?”
It must be one of 7 days of the week, as Trump is looking stupid, like every day.
We all can see Vice-President Trump is outranked by President-For-Life Netanyahu and has no choice but to follow orders.
It’s a day ending in “y”.
You misspelled “bitch”. Trump is Netanyahu’s bitch. When Netanyahu speaks to Trump, he begins and ends every sentence with the word “bitch”.
As in “bitch, my coffee is cold, bitch!”
Old Corn Pop and the Bad News Jew™ are the buddy team to end all buddy teams
Latest breaking news.
Pentagon has just announced bilateral agreement for peace has been reached.
All hostility will be stopped immediately.
All the frozen Iranian assets will be released.
Iran will send the dust to America.
Thanks for paying attention to this matter.
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothin’ to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people livin’ life in peace
This will come when an AI is in charge and its robot army (Terminators) keep humans in line and take all the weapons and guns away from us.
That’s the Globalists’ plan; and it would be pure hell.
Having nothing to kill or die for also means having NOTHING TO LIVE FOR, you brainwashed morons.
I have to agree on the John Lenin, I mean, Lennon type stuff. “All you need is love” is philosophically horse shit.
On the other hand, there are some things, IMO, that need a more global governance, because of the “tragedy of the commons” or “prisoners’ dilemma” which incentivize destruction of the overarching (global necessary life-sustaining) systems for players’ individual gain.
There are NO clearly defined and, most importantly, TOTALLY SHARED “global interests” and there is thus no global governance possible nor auspicable.
The global governance the globalists want to establish is in pursuit of their own personal interests and it would be hell for everybody else (i.e. the 99.9999% of the population).
If Trump keeps mouthing off, BiBi will release the Epstein Home Videos to distract the minions.
Dems and GOPrs alike would be shaking in their boots. What a tabloid moment that would be!
What can he do anything?
Paedo is blackmailed.
Trump told the Financial times today that he will demand that Netanyahu not retaliate against Iran. “He won’t have any choice, I call the shots. I call all the shots. He doesn’t call the shots.”
Netanyahu just bombed three Iranian cities after Trump told him not to. Utterly humiliating how the world knows Donald is Mr. Netanyahu’s little bitch.
If Trump had any balls whatsoever he would immediately cut off all support to Israel, recall our ambassador, and kick the Israeli’s out of the embassies in the U.S. is not gonna happen so buckle up for the greater depression. Gonna be a race to the Stone Age in the Middle East and that incudes Israel..
Forget about social security and Medicare, it’s about to go up in smoke.
“If Trump had any balls whatsoever…”
This assumes Trump doesn’t agree with Israel in that Iran’s leaders shouldn’t lead, but if they do they must submit.
If they didn’t agree we wouldn’t here, and now that we are neither is yet ready to bow. And if they don’t back each other neither walk away with anything.
Some may call this a partnership of convenience others may call it making a pact with the devil.
From a geopolitical perspective to keep our position as the world hegemon we could spend the next several years creating a several million troop army, and the subsequent 5 years and at least 5 trillion to conquer Iran and its allies.
I’m afraid our time has passed, I just don’t see us having the will or wherewithal to do it plus I wouldn’t be surprised if the rumors are correct and Iran is about to test a nuke
Test a nuke?
If Iran has a nuke they made it in the last two months, and understandably so, but that be unfortunate if they revealed it through a test. Because I’m not sure that would persuade Israel to back down.
In fact I would think it cause Israel to use it’s own nukes, and likely seconds after Iran does its test.
If medicare and SS go up in smoke so will the USA. Even a 75 yo can pull the trigger or fly a drone.
When Israel fires on Hezbollah or Iran, Trump is the “good cop”. When Trump negotiates, he is the “bad cop.”
Altogether they are the Keystone Cops, but in a nuclear world.
Israel and Iran still firing at each other. Yet JP Morgan and others keep saying the strait will be fully open this month. LOL!
At what point will these folks realize the strait is unlikely to ever fully reopen as it was before the war began.
As always, there is nothing I can do about what is happening in this war. Other than to take advantage of the trading opportunities it is providing.
I’m investing in submarine oil-tankers.
I’m investing in anti-submarine rockets.
Israel just launched missiles at Iran.
I guess we know who really calls the shots.
“Israeli military launches retaliatory strikes on Iran after attacks on northern Israel”
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/clyengg72pgt
Don’t be fooled both Israel and Trump want Iran to bend. The biggest cover is one that’s steeped in religious warfare spanning 80+ years in modern times and going all the way back for at least another 1k years.
Also any country that gets attacked, regardless if that attack was in retaliation, has a right to respond as they see fit. That’s just one element of what sovereignty means. So no Israel doesn’t call the shots – this was planned and thus both Trump and Israel are in on it.
All according to the Master Plan they’ve been meticulously following this whole time, eh?
Here’s a simple test this passes:
https://x.com/AIPAC/status/2062885986787320040
And yeah it was part of the “master plan” and both the dems and repubs are in on it.
Don’t forget the lizard people.
A few million in AIPAC bribes to US Congressmen yields many, many billions for the Zionists. A can’t lose investment.
Bingo!
Re: We know who calls the shots.
And Israel strikes Iran…
““What I would suggest to Iran: You’ve shot your missiles, that’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.”
This, IMO, proves Trump isn’t willing to be the one to bow, and he’s using Israel to pressure them to get back to the table.
There’s no other way it can be. Do you remember when it was told to Trump last week that Israel was bombing Lebanon and Trump said he didn’t know that Israel was bombing Lebanon. The bombing was at a full week when Trump said that, and right after Iran said no more.
People like to go on about how Trump was duped by Israel. The truth is both need each other and will cover for each regardless of the outcome, but you can bet that both Trump and Israel want the same thing in the end, and will use force to get it.
But I’m sure come Monday the hopium will flow on some BS Trump says about getting little Satan back under the wing of Big Satan, that a deal is back on, and the ceasefire wasn’t broken. Only to rinse and repeate this on again off again aggression of escalation until someone bows. All the while Hormuz stays closed.
But bombing Iran pushed them away from the table, so the pressure is having the exact opposite. Surely Trump isn’t so stupid that he doesn’t recognize that. I’d hate to think that he was. What would it look like if he was that dumb? Probably repeated low-level bombing, followed by a list of demands, followed by a list of contradictory demands from Iran, repeat. Nothing like we have now.
Lol. Typical MAGA always projecting without even being aware. We all know he’s your demon boss Donny.

SP500, etc…none of them have properly discounted “war” as markets have historically done
Measuring policy by how the markets respond is a bad way to run a country. However, the comment and this president and a lot of folks I know now do so because they are complicit by being heavily invested in said markets.
What a cocked hat we have. The algos trade on the headline fodder on the daily, today is no different.
How does all this figure on Trump and his cronies making money via the market tomorrow (06/08) ?
Well oil should rocket unless Trump announces releasing all SPR or eliminating all gas taxes forever or locking the country down under a national energy emergency.

Nobody will make a deal with Trumpstien, and nobody is even listening to him anymore.
He’s an angry lame duck.
A complete laughingstock
If you believe that Netanyahoo will not retaliate, than you have not been paying attention for the past 30 years.
Maybe Donnie Demento will surprise everyone and let Israel go it alone. Nah, Mossad has the Epstein tapes. American troops need to die to support Trumps ego and reputation.
What a very steep price we are going to pay for electing this pathetic little man.
