President Trump says he’s postponing military strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure because of “very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”

Paraphrasing and eliding: | am pleased to report that Iran and the country of #USA 😂 have had… very good conversations… Based on the tenor and tone of these…, | have instructed the #DepartmentofWar to postpone any and all military strikes… for a 5 day period…

It is one thing to #gaslight Americans domestically, but for an American "president" to do this on the world stage for all adversaries and everybody else to see his fake preening glory is quite something else.

But when market manipulation is the goal in order to turn a quick profit, anything goes for Trump and his cronies.

Stock markets soar. Presumably Trump and his cronies bought in the dip. (Yes this is the opposite to my earlier post. So sue me!*) "Middle East crisis live: Trump postpones military strikes on Iranian power plants for a five day period." *please don't ... #USpol #TACO #Iran https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/23/middle-east-crisis-live-iea-chief-says-iran-war-energy-crunch-worse-than-1970s-oil-crises-and-ukraine-war-combined?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

C'est un menteur invétéré. Mais c'est aussi un lâche, d'une fausse bravoure.

Rien ne peut le sauver — surtout pas lui-même.

oui c'est ce que je pense aussi et cela me réjoui un peu !

@rameshgupta Meanwhile Iran claims there has been no conversation.

Long gone are the days when we could be reasonably sure about news we read.

If #Iran were lying, we would never see the end of it from #Trump, who would be ALL over social media with "evidence" of talks.
