Iran Super Thread- Merged

[PrairieFella]

Til the markets close on Friday, one might say.

Note he only says they’re pausing strikes on energy infrastructure; the rest is still game on.

I’ll be watching to see if Iran makes a point of hitting another ship or something just to show there isn’t some sort of truce.

Needed a few extra days to let his buddies and kids to put some big, fat shorts in preparation for Friday.

So Iran gets one more chance apparently…

Trump says Iran has 'one more chance at peace' as Tehran calls reports of US talks 'fake news'

The president earlier said he'd postponed strikes on Iranian power plants after talks, which the speaker of Iran's parliament denies took place.

Crude oil's Catch-22: Pricing for Trump TACO trade makes it less likely

The crude oil futures markets are still largely pricing for an early resolution to the conflict in the Middle East that results in the full re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Of note is Russia wanting this to keep going, and Iran more than happy to, to get better terms of any negotiated end.

On that note, Ukraine hit Russia’s oil export terminal at Primorsk (Baltic sea) pretty hard.

I imagine Ukraine is looking to capitalize on events.

Tomorrow is Tuesday.

They're definitely cooking something up. They just finished an operation that saw the destruction of 27 air defense systems, and the Russians saw a record breaking 8000 casualties over the last 7 days. Ukraine is even making steady gains in territory.

Last time we saw prep work like this was the 2022 counter offensive and the summer 2025 oil infrastructure blitz.

But back to Iran, uh oh.

Apparently there is some confusion within the IRGC as to who is talking to Trump's team, perhaps a way to create cracks and splinters in the remaining leadership?

I doubt it.

I would sooner believe Trump is sundowning a conversation he had in his head or with the corner lamp before I believe his rambling was part of a larger ruse de guerre
