"Trump responds to Friday’s events with a threat of escalation.
If Iran doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, “all Hell will reign down on them.”
(Note: Trump has made such threats before and then backed down, citing Tehran’s alleged interest in diplomacy.)"
So Trump is up, awake, and on #TruthSocial apparently...
No mention of the missing pilot, just more idle threats

I am on on #Mastodon since 2017 because I support open social networking.
I have used and invested in #Bitcoin since 2013 because I support open money.
Do I like that #TruthSocial and sites like baest and poast are built on Mastodon? No.
Do I like that scammers can also use Bitcoin? No.
With open protocols and decentralization comes tradeoffs. I have to believe that in the long run, the good these tools bring will over shaddow the bad.
Be good.
