Y'all, I officially have no idea what in tarnation is actually happening in #Iran. (Not nukes! #TACO instead. Yay.)

The US media is touting this like #USA won, but #Arab and #Farsi reports are telling a story a little more plausible. Those reports say that the Strait will be opened *under IRGC control, for two weeks, using tolls (that's new), with payment in #Chinese #Yuan.

This is the beginning of the end of the petrodollar. And Iran has two weeks to rebuild their missile systems and 14 Billion in Yuan we just gave them to buy oil.

Meanwhile, #Israel says ceasefire doesn't apply to them, and they targeted and destroyed one of the oldest synagogues in the world in Tehran, burying torah scrolls older than those in Jerusalem.

Wrong kind of Jews. Tan / Brown ones. Like the bombing of the Catholic churches in Palestine and Lebanon. Wrong kind of Christians. Not the Crusaders, you see. Don't worship the Golden Calf, preferring the peasant Palestinian.

How is this a "winning"?

@MissConstrue It’s ”winning” if you consider the people that matter are Trump’s inner circle.

They made a big buck with insider-trading on that pre-taco bluster, and knowing the taco would be coming.

But you know what I think? As all dictators Trump has gotten too sure of himself. And the neocons aren’t going to be happy for giving Iran so much. Perhaps they will be the ones to remove him.

@gimulnautti @MissConstrue I wonder about the Gulf countries who gifted Trump with a lot of stuff. What did they get in return? Iranian attacks on their oil and desalination plants. Terrible return on investment. They might want Trump gone as well.
