"Do we now trust the Iranian regime more than Trump?"

-> "Traders bet half a billion dollars ​on the price of crude only 15 minutes before U.S. President Donald Trump announced a five-day delay to attacks ‌on Iran's energy infrastructure that sent the market plunging, according to Reuters."

James O’Brien called Trump a “ludicrous mentard” on his LBC show this morning, which I think just about covers it.

" 'Trump's actions are absurd but have real consequences' "

-> "[..] breaks down the recent chaos of Donald Trump's 'excursion' in to Iran - “we don’t need help… but we do need help.” "
-> "It comes as Trump says the US and Iran have held talks on the "complete and total resolution of hostilities" [..]."
-> "He says that, as a result of the talks, he has postponed threatened strikes on Iranian power plants - oil and gas prices fall immediately."

" 'The absolute irony!' James O'Brien on coverage of Trump's attacks on the BBC"

-> "James O'Brien reckons he's spied some irony in the Telegraph's coverage of Donald Trump's attacks on the BBC... What do you think?"

" 'Iran was predictable - so why did Trump do it?' "

-> "James O’Brien says the Iran war was 'not only avoidable but entirely predictable' and that it was 'driven by the reckless self-interest of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.'"
-> "This comes as Trump is considering invading or blockading Iran’s Kharg Island to pressure Tehran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz."
