Tumps exact words today!

WTAF? That sounds like he is about to drop a Nuke!

How the hell has the world got here?

Trumps truth social posts sounds more like something that a dramatic gleeful tv presenter would say in a game show. Not something a world leader threatening to blow up an entire civilisation.

Less than 4 hours, Trump is negotiating with them now (it's heated apparently)

Just had a short call with POTUS: He declined to say how he is feeling about negotiations: “I can't tell you, because right now we're in heated negotiations.” He declined to weigh in on Pakistan’s 2 week deadline extension request – saying he’s about to be briefed fully on it - but said: “I can say this - that I know him very well. He's a highly respected man, all over” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says, "The President has been made been aware of the proposal, and a response will come."

ObsessiveGoogler · 07/04/2026 21:07

I would imagine he orchestrated it

Ahh yes, so he can say he allowed Iran some compassion and understanding I suppose.

He is criminally insane! A threat to the whole world really and he needs removed.

The whole White Christian Nationalist movement that he stands for is very worrying as well.
I have seen a few mentions that this whole war is based on Dispensationalism, and prophesies. Trying to force the second coming of Jesus etc. If that isnt insanity I dunno what is.

Let's not forget that the Second Coming is tied to the Apocalypse, which means everyone dying.
A death cult is in charge of the US.

No, am serious. Iran is a very dangerous country and their leaders are far crazier than he is. Open the Straits and the threat goes away.

Just interested to know why you believe that, not saying you are wrong, just wonder why?

The straits were open before the the US started the illegal war, so why would opening them again alone, end the war?

Livelovebehappy · 07/04/2026 21:10

Trump unhinged, but isn’t anyone else very concerned about the fact Iran are obviously much more capable, militarily, than the world thought? They’ve been holding themselves well against America’s onslaught, when many thought they would be on their knees within 48 hours of America’s attack. I mean, the fact they’re lining up just women and children as human chains in front of Iranian focal points pretty much sums up how evil the Iranian regime is. Where are the men? I’m sure not all are fighting….

2021x · 07/04/2026 21:10

He is probably means it now, but will come out with some excuse as to why he hasn't done anything in about 5 hours. I expect if he attempted there will be a military coup if he tries the nuclear weapons. His only negotiation skill is brinkmanship but I suspect he has met his match in the Iranians.

His silent and rich financiers don't care about the lives of people in the Levant, but he is at risk at losing the monopoly the USD price has on oil trades which would be a huge blow to their pockets and they will orchestrate something.

EasterParadeHats · 07/04/2026 21:11

How lovely the dear regime is calling for people to prevent attacks by creating a human shield and bring your children ..

These evil wicked wicked bastards
Why oh why oh why do these nutters exist and they work so effectively on keeping people utterly suppresses.

Evil wicked people I do wonder if just a huge coalition sending troops in maybe the best thing.

EasterParadeHats · 07/04/2026 21:14

@Livelovebehappy totally agree.
They are far more capable and organised aren't they and whilst people have had food issues of course tons of money has clearly gone to armaments.

A poor lady on sky tonight said how desperate are we we want another country to bomb us.the regime has not even given an inch in 47 years.

Evil wicked bastards.

celticnations · 07/04/2026 21:15

Given that the Lady of the House is the sensible one, I would recommend quietly stocking up on enough essentials to get you & your's through at least a week without scrambling to the nearest shop one minute after opening.

Not suggesting to hoard - just do a bigger shop twice, say. If affordable of course.

Even when the Straits of Hormuz are opened again, those big ladies of the sea sail at around 15Kts. It will be 5 weeks before new oil hits European & UK refineries. And both cargo aircraft & general cargo ships need that refined oil for their own fuel.

Now factor in a low yield tactical nuke.

God Forbid.

Just be better prepared, ladies.

Water. Meds. Sanitation. Tinned grub. Candles. Matches. Batteries. Power Banks. Goodies. Some board/card games.

That's hardly "hoarding".

Such BS.

Trump needed an off-ramp, Pakistan diplomatically obliged.

Goddessoftheearth · 07/04/2026 21:17

This is so sad - - Iranians forming human chains to try and protect infrastructure. This is normal people like you and me that we are taking. Bout here, potentially about to lose their homes, families, friends, country (despite its regime and the suppression it’s still their home). If the US and Isreal proceed with this outrageous threat then it is mass muden on a scale not seen since the Holocaust. Trump and his fascist buddies want to destroy the world for their own greed and gains. If they succeed in Iran, where is next? www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c4g5j33p6vno

EasterParadeHats · 07/04/2026 21:18

@PandoraSocks really ? Can you imagine begging another country to bomb you and then the force you and your children out as humans shields ?

EasterParadeHats · 07/04/2026 21:18

@Goddessoftheearth you do realise that they are being forced too??

Exciting news maybe full on ww3.

justasking111 · 07/04/2026 21:21

I read somewhere JD Vance and Trump don't agree on the way this war has gone. You have to wonder if he's waiting in the wings. Trump does appear erratic recently.

AlwaysAnxious32 · 07/04/2026 21:08

It’s being reported in a few places such as the Independent that the Pakistan prime minister Sharif has asked Trump to extend his deadline by two weeks, and has asked Iran leaders to open the Straight of Hormuz for the same period, as a goodwill gesture.

Pakistan has been a key mediator between Iran and the US and they are both apparently reviewing the request.

Arraminta · 07/04/2026 21:23

Oh and what another surprise. The American stock market had a rather convenient big upward surge just 10 minutes before closing.

The Iranian regime is abominable, we agree on that.

But sending in ground troops would just result in the terrible slaughter of young people on all sides. Who would you envisage joining such a coalition apart from the US and Israel? I don't think many other countries
would want to join in.

Hope not!

I read that both China & Russia have just vetoed a UN Security Council Resolution to reopen the Straits.

Trump has really cornered himself.

All those Paras & Marines embarked on their Assault Ships...can't keep them cooped up too long, Donald...
