Donald Trump’s administration has rebuffed efforts by Middle Eastern allies to start diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending the Iran war that started two weeks ago with a massive U.S.-Israeli air assault, according to three sources familiar with the efforts.
Iran, for its part, has rejected the possibility of any ceasefire until U.S. and Israeli strikes end, two senior Iranian sources told Reuters, adding that several countries had been trying to mediate an end to the conflict.
The lack of interest from Washington and Tehran suggests both sides are digging in for an extended conflict, even as the widening war inflicts civilian casualties and Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz sends oil prices soaring.
This. This is what the US petro lobby paid for.
They could not possibly be in a better financial situation now.
Don’t worry guys, the Pentagon has assured us this will wrap up in 4 to 6 business weeks.

Does this need to be said? Should I have expected otherwise?
I mean… Each of those US bombs and missiles cost millions. Did they even say thank you?
So, he loses rare batteries crucial to US defense, spikes oil prices world wide (long term for US), alienates the world even more, jump starts Russia’s economy, proves he’s Israel’s little dog on a leash, and kills some people, but doesn’t want to talk about it.
Spike gas prices while killing federal fuel economy standards, and spend taxpayer money to try and stop CA from their EV initiatives.
You know this is for the petroleum industry. Any time the price of oil goes up, they make record profits.
I’m already waiting to see who he’s going to blame for all this. The usual suspects, like Biden, seem a bit “worn out” to me by now. Well, maybe Antifa, or even God himself, punishing the U.S. for its lack of faith? We’ll see…
Whatever malignant narcissists do inside their false realities. Cluster B is no joke and yet 1/3 of the American people voted for this because (their thinking, not mine):
A: Trans is weird and incomprehensible
B: Women’s liberation is making me feel bad as a man and I don’t know how to cope with #life so I’m going to blame women’s lib for me being me. Oh, and birth rate, bitches need to get back to their real role…
C: We want Christianity to be rule of law.
D: See A.
E. He said he’d reduce cost of living and I believe him.
F. Immigrants suck and need to go.
I’m waiting to see who the Democrats will blame as they reassure Israel of their unconditional loyalty, and all the excuses they’ll come up with as you why they can’t hold anyone accountable.
Or Iran makes good on its threat re Netanyahu, no one stops it, and we watch a power shuffle to see if anything changes.
… then possibly proceeds to kill the Petro Dollar as Iran is basically promoting Yuan using selective strait blockage. That leads to USA losing reserve currency status almost overnight. Nothing Trump says can prevent this as he just demonstrated anyone with drones on the back of a pickup can stop the biggest military in the world. Wall streets freaks out in spectacular fashion and banks start dropping like flies for a repeat of 2008 bit bigger and better. China in the meantime starts handing out bailouts like candy.
That’s not even worst case. That’s where Israel runs out of defense ammo and decides a nuke on Teheran is an acceptabele move in that situation.
All because one guy thought he would have an easy win.
He has (had) the brain of an impulsive child. Now, he very likely has the brain of a child with Alzheimer’s.
I was about to laugh then i remembered that it’s the real life and not some “what if…” or some story
European nations should refuse any and all support for Trump’s War Of Terror reboot. The US already used their Article 5 card to drag NATO into a foolish Middle East war, and they’re acting more like a bully than an ally to the EU or the UK right now.
Did he really try? Did NATO actually accept that?
No, that was back after 9/11. The only time article 5 was activated.
Ah that was what it was referring to. Gotcha
But he said the war was already over! 🙄
Trump won, it’s just that the Iranians don’t know about it because
He’s trying to control the narrative when he already lost control of the battle.
Moron still thinks quick unconditional surrender is an option.
Trump has found his hill, where he will …
