"Two weeks" is Trump speak for "there is no plan for this to actually happen, but I expect the dumb American public to forget about this promise."

Unfortunately for him, restricted traffic along the Strait is kind of hard for people to forget about and/or ignore.

classless_classic Apr 8, 2026 +145
Yup. Within a couple of weeks, most countries in the world will begin to feel the fuel shortage; the final refineries will receive their final shipments and the reserves will be used up. They can’t price in desperation, and fuel prices will continue to rise.

Fomentatore Apr 8, 2026 +145
The problem is not even oil at this point but fertilizer which it's dependent by LNG. People are going to starve because a lot of crops will fail because of this war.

ElRiesgoSiempre_Vive Apr 8, 2026 +113
And helium, which is required for processor production and can't be easily stored because atoms are tiny and diffuse even through metal. Once helium supply chains stop, so does most of the world's tech / electronics production.
113
Wecancallmeb Apr 8, 2026 +29
This. I’m in the medical field and we’re already getting warnings about limiting MRIs as they have to use helium to cool the giant electromagnets in the machines. It’s going to be felt in many fields if this keeps up.

anglerfishtacos Apr 8, 2026 +16
It’s not just LNG. Ammonia, nitrous, and sulfur also come from that region. Something like 50% of the world sulfur comes from that region, which is used in phosphate fertilizer— a crucial element for crop development, root establishment, and boosting resistance to disease. The farmers are planting now and need the fertilizer right now.

That is a price trump is willing for others to pay, to save the world from a made-up Iranian nuclear holocost. I can actually imagine the deranged POS in chief saying something like: ''These countries are happy to starve, to save their future generations from Iranian nuclear armageddon; praise Jesus, Allah, and Meeee; but mostly ME.

Nah, this one will be on Obama and his "terrible" deal with Iran when in reality that deal was better than anyone expected but since it had Obama's name on it, Trump clearly had to destroy it.

"Two Trump Weeks" - An indefinite interval of time lasting between a few hours and several years, usually less than a decade.

putin is famous for 'strategic pauses' in which he acts like he's coming to the negotiating table in order to give his military time to regroup and attack again. trump wouldn't have requested a $1.5 trillion budget unless he was going to use it. for something other than embezzlement to his sons, i mean.

To a casual observer, It did seem like the idea of Pakistan negotiating a peace settlement could be fraught with all sorts of problems.

Well they are somewhat of an ally of Iran IIRC. Didn't Iran allow a Pakistani oil tanker through the straits?

Mistwalker007 Apr 8, 2026 +5
With the ayatollah gone the elected government and IRGC are the two big players left vying for power, you could say the first is incentivized to see the negotiations fail.
5
EnvironmentalBox6688 Apr 8, 2026 +11
Even if they were, the Israelis and US spent weeks obliterating command and control of the Iranian military apparatus. Chances are there are a multitude of missile units operating completely autonomously.
11
Icyknightmare Apr 8, 2026 +7
That's how the IRGC is setup, specifically designed for this scenario where they knew their chain of command would be taken out. They call it mosaic defense. Lower level IRGC commanders have significant autonomy to continue military operations without any central oversight.

Way longer than 5 weeks, this didn't start with Iran. The US let him get away with this while he was making tarriff threats, greenland threats, time and time again he's been allowed to throw the world into chaos to illegally manipulate the market and effectively steal billions of dollars. Impeach him now or he'll keep doing crazier and crazier things to keep the scam going.

What is driving me insane is clearly the strait is closed again, yet prices are still up. They all know they're going to go down again but prices won't adjust to literal news. Prices used to pull in news very quick, now they just seem somewhat glued to whatever the Mad King says (at least in the united states)

These guys, some call them taliban. They look at america and they point their guns at they say fire, but I come in and I look these guys in the eye and I say " but what about the cease? What if we cease before firing? I came up with the term. Look it up. Nobody has ever..i mean people have said fire before. They say fire was the biggest invention in history, but what about water? Can't live without that stuff. So anyway I'm the first to put the cease with the fire. And so I say this and I look at these big strong men in their towels because I guess they just washed their hair. And they look at me. Tears streaming down their face. And they say 'thank you, you are like Allah' their words, not mine. Some say that. So I'm like Allah, their tan Jesus. And so I get out my bible that I always have and I say 'have you heard about Jesus? He's a pretty cool dude.' And so anyway now Iraq is Christian. Was it Iraq? One of those places. So next week I will go to the Israelites. Just like moses went to the israelites, but I won't have two big rocks. I have these wonderful Secret service guys to carry my stuff. Not very secret if you ask me. I mean look at this one. He's right there. I bet he knows a hundred ways to kill ya with his little finger. He could kill anyone in this room, I just have to point and say "that one" and boom, no more chubby guy with glasses and a blue suit. That's a nice suit by the way. Not as nice as mine. Let me send yoy the name of my guy. You couldn't afford him, but he does great work.

point of order: Trump would never just say Jesus seems like a cool dude, because that forms a sentence that's not about him. He'd have to follow up with how much Jesus would like him, or how he's better than Jesus, or how many people are saying he IS jesus.

They definately pushed Trump into this war but Trump could have said no. Trump administration has no morals, no plans, no contemplative internal discussion. Bibi netenyahu personally convinces Trump to go along with his bombing of Iran and that's it. All the yes men say yes and USA is at war.

GayMormonPirate Apr 8, 2026 +404
Some details that are so crazy to me: Mossad was directly in communication with President and staff in Situation room. There is usually a go-between there. AND, Jared Kushner was in the Situation room. Jared Kushner does not have security clearance and is not even a government employee. I'm pretty sure he's on Israel's payroll.
404
Corpus76 Apr 8, 2026 +299
Jared Kushner's role in all of this is absolutely nuts to me. A world leader having their unelected son-in-law directing policy, and everyone's just like "yeah, that's normal"
299
annoyingashe Apr 8, 2026 +210
Hunter Biden working on a Ukraine energy board: "This is insane nepotism/corruption. Biden crime family." Jared Kushner almost singlehandedly deciding foreign policy in the Middle East through the Abraham accords/Board of Peace/being in Trump's ear: "This is totally normal. You have TDS if you don't like it." The double standards are agonizing
210
swolfington Apr 8, 2026 +42
the irony is that TDS is real, but pretending that what trump and co are doing is normal is its one defining symptom.
42
Clogaline Apr 8, 2026 +15
I feel like the TDS c*** ultimately comes from their line "you just don't like this thing because its Trump doing it". In some cases thats just false, he does or says things that any decent person would be against. In other cases I think its true but they don't understand why. The analogy I've been starting to come to is imagining that your roof needs fixed but you really don't want your 3 year old kid doing it. You could make the same turn of phrase the MAGAs use - "you actually do want your roof fixed, you just don't want your 3 year old doing it". You can immediately see why this being a "gotcha" makes no sense. There are things that we might otherwise support. But when the person doing the job is clueless, not likely to have a plan, and the most likely outcome is that they make the problem worse and hurt themselves in the process... it becomes obvious why you don't want them specifically doing it.
15
swolfington Apr 8, 2026 +8
ultimately i think trying to dissect TDS on an intellectual level is giving the people who use it as in insult waaaay too much credit. a ton of people are just dumb, spiteful morons who are latching desperately to MAGA because it gives them appropriate social/permission structure for them to be awful people, and lying/projecting about why trump isn't a garbage human being is just part of that. like, the entire TDS argument boils down to the fact that they think it's "deranged" to distrust someone who's objectively untrustworthy - its an inherently illogical position in the first place. for normal people, it is actually okay to not like someone because they do bad things, and these people are over here pretending like that's some kind of character flaw.

Guyfawkes1994 Apr 8, 2026 +21
Shit, he was one of the negotiators who went to Iran to stop the war before it started. It’s not impossible he screwed up with Witkoff and has got literally thousands of people killed.
21
GatoLibre Apr 8, 2026 +30
Especially crazy the reason Kushner doesn’t have a security clearance is because he couldn’t pass the standard FBI vetting process to get one during Trump’s first term.
30
GayMormonPirate Apr 8, 2026 +21
Yeah, he's too closely tied to foreign entities to get a security clearance. The fact that he's involved in negotiations and war planning is appalling (but not surprising from the Trump admin).
21
WhiskyBraj Apr 8, 2026 +57
NYT released a whole article on how the Israelis sold this war to trump and how none of his lackeys dared tell him to not do it. "According to the report, the Israeli leader was invited into the White House Situation Room on February 11, where he made a presentation — in conjunction with the head of Israel's intelligence service, Mossad." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-08/donald-trump-cedes-ground-to-iran-before-negotiations-even-begin/106541368

Broken_Reality Apr 8, 2026 +8
It's not a war it's an excursion..... Or so Trump says though he also sometimes slips and calls it a war which it can't be because Congress didn't vote to go to war so this is just I dunno the US military killing a bunch of innocent people (and some not so innocent people) for no good reason and causing world wide economic turmoil. My fuel price has gone up over 30 pence a litre now (I am having to cut down on how much I drive) and I don't blame Iran I blame the US and Israel. Food prices are going up and soon many other things will go up. I don't have the liberty of having money to throw away on Trump and Israel being warmongering assholes. Sadly Trump and Bibi will face none of the consequences of this it will be those who are being attacked and worldwide it will be those who are poor who will suffer.

Trump is in this war for largely the same reason Putin is in his war - as long as he's punching outwards he can keep his base in check by directing hate towards the out-group. As soon as that bubble collapses, so does their power.

Hence why they didnt say anything to trump... it was either silence or say something that would be bad.

He could have just said they were brave and doing something but he bought up a sports player...

I’m absolutely stunned at how disastrous this whole thing was. Well not really, it’s Trump and he’s a f****** clown. 1. We removed the leadership and a more hardline leadership took its place. 2. We buried their fissile material, what they hadn’t hidden away, so they still have it. 3. This activity gives them every incentive in the world to race towards a nuke. That would be the only real protection they’d have. 4. They took absolute control of the straight of Hormuz and can and will extract all leverage from that over all shipping through there which is massive. 5. They’re now getting paid $2M per boat to allow them through. 6. We destroyed a lot of Iran’s weapons but by some accounts, they still have 70% of hidden away. 7. This war cost the U.S. $100B. Even more to replace the munitions we expended. Imagine if we’d spent that on healthcare or education. 8. We are now the absolute unhinged, unstable and, more importantly, unreliable force in the world. This is all new territory. We weren’t always great, but we had stability at least. Now we’re absolute chaos. 9. The loss of innocent Iranian life. 10. The loss of U.S. servicemen life 11. The damage to surrounding nations infrastructure will have ongoing economic consequences. 12. The damage to U.S. bases abroad. By all accounts we are far, far worse off than if we had done nothing. This may be the single worst decision in the history of the U.S. and Trump will always be remembered for this.

There’s also the US losing its last credibility as a defense partner. The Arab Gulf countries had depended on the US for their military defence. However, what’s the point of continuing that when the US failed to defend them against Iranian drones and dragged them into a conflict that ruined their reputation as a safe haven for foreign investors. If the US’ threats against its NATO allies wasn’t enough, this war fully cemented the US as an unreliable ally and any country with defensive agreements with the US should start looking for other options.

Yes, Iran has shown that the Gulf States are economically at their mercy and the US is unable to protect them from that. Strategically this seem like a massive victory for Iran as they now are basically the dominant power in the region. The loss of influence in the region for the US will be massive.

The US has burned most of its relations with the world. We will not forgive them for what they have done. They had the chance to NEVER vote for him AGAIN(!!!!) after his first presidency, but despite knowing how unhinged he was, they did it again. The US is no longer our trustworthy ally. Hell, I'd rather us be allied to China. For generations to come, the US will be shunned. Of course, this doesn't apply to the millions of Americans who never wanted this psychopath in charge. For them I feel sorry. I am worried for my American friends who never wanted any of this. But the people that voted for this lunatic - You will not be forgotten. We will remember what you did. We know who you are.

>Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, meanwhile, said the ceasefire applied “everywhere", including Lebanon, as he announced Islamabad will host delegations from the US and Iran for talks later this week. But Israel has insisted that Lebanon is not included, and the Israeli military said it carried out its “largest coordinated strike across Lebanon" hours into the ceasefire. Essentially, they were told specifically that the ceasefire was everywhere and Israel said "F*** it, we need the war to continue".

> Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, meanwhile, said the ceasefire applied “everywhere", including Lebanon, Trump says the opposite: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/apr/08/iran-war-ceasefire-live-updates-trump-deadline-middle-east-crisis-latest-news > Lebanon is not part of the two-week ceasefire deal, US president Donald Trump has told the media. So, who's lying? We'll quickly know I think.

Trump retweeted the Iranian points that listed cessation of hostilities between all parties, so he was aware

Classic-Trifle-2085 Apr 8, 2026 +72
Its been a.mess. yesterday after an hour it became evident what Iran and the US tough they agreed too was completely different (CNN reported what was in IRAN medias and Trump threw a tantrum saying hell sue CNN for it), and the Israeli Air Force confirmed strikes between Iran and Israel never stopped. The "open of the strait" was also understood to still be under Iran control and they could still charge their toll. Literally, that cease fire never actually hapenned. No one agreed on what it even was. IRAN always included all party as a condition to a ceasefire (which make sense in kilti party wars) and Pakistani from the very start said it included all party. Israel and USA just claim otherwise, which doesnt make sense. Why woudnt a cease fire include all part from both side and let you bomb a minor party to Iran?

It was the greatest ceasefire, and I know about ceasefires, I've seen all the ceasefires, and they were terrible, and boring. They didn't even use a real pen to sign the ceasefire, they were like, oh, where's the autopen? And I ordered the best pens. Kids these days have no idea, they will be like, mommy, what's this? I got the best deal on these pens. Not $100, not $50. $5 per piece. They even engraved the picture of the Whitehouse and Trump 2028 on the side in gold. They said, you don't have to pay, but I told them, no, I'm gonna pay. And I used these $5 pens to sign the ceasefire and it was so successful, that Iran and Israel generals were calling me and saying, Mr. President, we are bored of the ceasefires. And I told them make sure you don't forget to thank me for the pens.

Everyone should go straight to these sites when they see breaking news instead of trusting information from whatever source someone has posted (in this case, news18.com) and Listnook commenters. For what it's worth, AP only confirmed Iran is closing the Strait 15 minutes ago and Reuters hasn't confirmed yet. The linked article in this post is from 4 hours ago. That says something about various outlets' verification standards.

Captain_Inverse Apr 8, 2026 +35
The most predictable thing of all time maybe? The agreement basically states in text to Iran "you now formally have control of The Strait of Hormuz". So they can now use a closure whenever they need to pressure basically anyone.

socialistrob Apr 8, 2026 +13
If the 10 point plan more or less stands and the US agrees to it long term then it should go down as a massive US defeat. It's worse in every single way than the prewar status quo and will enable Iran to develop nuclear weapons and make massive amounts of money tolling a waterway which should be untollable according to UNCLOS. It sets a horrible precedent that countries bordering straits can charge access to them. Freedom of navigation is how the US became so rich and powerful to begin with and to see it undermined so blatantly is a huge blow to the US's strategic interests.

The world is sympathetic to Iran defending itself, but if they tried to upend the world economy when not defending from invaders the rest of the world wouldn’t be so kind.

scarab1001 Apr 8, 2026 +148
The Orange A****** will surrender even harder to keep the stock market from crashing and the Strait open (with Iran controlling it). Ceasefire will end in a permanent peace with complete surrender by America. Kegsbreath will view it as a victory (he gets to keep his cosplaying as a war leader).

Who could have seen this coming. Us. Everyone not trump. He never ceases to amaze me with how bad he screws things up. Each and every time you would think someone in his cabinet would push back and say let’s take 5 minutes to talk about this, but it never happens. And here we are and he looks genuinely shocked that is his actions that he didn’t plan for, in an area that he doesn’t understand blows up in his face.
