Fortunately, he didn't specify a deadline in his message, just said "shortly", which can be 2 days or 2 months I guess.

"Fun" fact: Protocol II of the 1977 Geneva Convention (forbidding military destruction of civilian resources) was ratified by 169 countries, but notably rejected by the United States, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Israel. Interesting company we keep. 👀

The Trump admin is 100% of the "might makes right" mentality. Anyone or anything else is weak and deserves to be bullied. Diplomacy is just a tool to deliver your demands and statesmanship is just a quaint notion from the past.

lluewhyn Mar 30, 2026 +4
This is the gist of it right here beyond any other philosophy. At the beginning of his first term, he was incredulous that we weren't using nukes more. It all stems from the attitude of "We have the power. We should \*make\* people do what we want. Anything else is being soft."

Tehran was under a cloud of petroleum, it rained acid and a school was bombed. This was never about Iran’s population. It was about Isreal dragging the U.S. in a war where it does the heavy lifting. Watch as the U.S. attempts to ramp down, Isreal will ramp up. The U.S. is locked in this.
275
mohjack Mar 30, 2026 +129
Notice how there hasnt been a peep out of Israel regarding ceasefires or negotiations.  Trump said he wasn't aware of the plan to attack the oil tanks and Israel immediately said he was. Theyll close every off ramp if they can. There's nothing Bibi would like more than having the USA Afghanistaning its way through Iran for the next 20 years. 
129
bittersterling Mar 30, 2026 +11
Israel did speak up though. They continued to bomb critical infrastructure while trump was “negotiating” with very important, top level people.

AnAncientBog Mar 30, 2026 +63
Exactly. Israel will escalate every attempt to end the war. This doesn't end until the US enforces a ceasefire with Israel, and that's never going to happen.

Israel is rapidly burning through the remaining goodwill it has among the US population.

ShipTheRiver Mar 30, 2026 +3
There actually has been a peep, Israel has stated a couple of times that they don’t believe a deal is possible.  If/when a real peace talk breaks out, israel will definitely be last to the table. F*** them.  The single good thing to come out of this shitshow will be that Israel will have absolutely slaughtered whatever goodwill it had among US voters, especially  younger ones who will be in control in the next couple of decades. Average Americans are finally starting to actively dislike Israel, as they shouldve for ages now. Maybe next time we have a mayoral race in NYC, one of the debate questions won’t be “how fast would you go travel to Israel if elected”.

Trump has no other cards. Every day is a new day and yesterday is gone forever. Tomorrow is just a tool. He lacks any curiosity. All he knows is emotion like a toddler. Trump knows literally nothing about anything and hes never been held accountable for that. Now Iran is holding him to task, I hope.

IntelArtiGen Mar 30, 2026 +15
I hope this part was already clear after the 1st day. But it's also hard to know what they think because of the total censorship there. The sad part is I dont know how these people can be helped if they stay in Iran (which is probably why there are so many iranian refugees in the world), the war didn't end the crackdown on political opponents and it'll surely continue after it.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026\_Iran\_massacres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres) The window for regime change was over in the near future that's organic (Iranians currently residing in Iran). Even if they don't like the regime, they sure as hell won't signal it, let alone take to the streets, its literally asking to be killed

I’m pretty sure the Iranian citizens didn’t vote for the orange Pedo to invade their country and threaten them. Just a guess.

IntelArtiGen Mar 30, 2026 +5
Some of them were [very happy with parts of how it started](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/world/middleeast/iran-khameni-celebrations.html) (obviously not everything), but it might not end the way they would want it to. Some of them chanted "Death to Khamenei" for years, because they're fighting a government which killed or jailed thousands of them, their friends and families; and it would be wrong to think none of them wanted this to happen. Yet I totally understand the "how it's done" also matters. But our opinion on this absolutely doesn't matter compared to the opinion of iranians, and all iranians. Even if I don't like the current authorities we can't ignore it's also seemingly supported by millions of people, but these ones have a voice with the iranian TV propaganda, iranian opponents don't have a voice. What I heard, from people who have their family in Iran, is that they're obviously very scared. Because this war didnt solve this repression problem, and the last time they took the streets to protest they got shot at. Clearly Trump doesn't care about them, and it's very complicated to know what they want and what we can do for them. The war must stop, and then what? "Problem solved with Iran, now let's talk about Cuba".

Strictly speaking, the sinking of civilian Venezuelan drug boats by the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard was already a war crime. The U.S. specifically defined drugs as chemical weapons and smuggling as "terrorism" in order to be able to use warships against small motorboats. At the very least, however, the targeted killings were disproportionate, since the smugglers could have been arrested at any time

ExRays Mar 30, 2026 +11
The US doesn’t predominantly consume the oil it produces. US refineries are equipped to consume heavy crude oil from decades of relying on imports from the Middle East and Canada. Meanwhile our production primarily outputs light crude oil, which demands different infrastructure for refining. Also the GCC countries massively contribute to setting the value of the dollar through the petrodollar. A collapse of the GCC economy due to critical infrastructure being hit in this war, more than it already is, would be an absolute cluster f*** for the US economy.
11
EndOfDecadence Mar 30, 2026 +9
Besides the differences between heavy and light crude, there is huge production of petroleum products in the Gulf that isn't easily replaced. I mean, the shock that will follow from the ethane and naphtha already missing in the system.... I think not a lot of people realize the shit we are already in.

Trump bit off more than he can chew. Iran is not near surrender and now all Trump can do is huff and puff and threaten to blow down their house. I’m no supporter of Iran but it’s hysterical to see Trump getting the respect he deserves - none. The bad part is he’s going to kill a bunch of American sailors, soldiers and marines just because he’s a vile human who shouldn’t be allowed the reins of power.

The Iranian people are already disappointed in Trump. Early news said that many hailed him when he killed their leadership, but then the people turned against Trump when he started destroying power infrastructure and civilian buildings. That's definitely not how you make friends. He's just a bumbling fool with no plan at all. He keeps thinking his dumb "art of the deal", where he threatens people and they back down, will work here.
10
Johannes_P Mar 30, 2026 +7
> but then the people turned against Trump when he started destroying power infrastructure and civilian buildings. That's definitely not how you make friends. He even bombed the universities, the places where most of the opponents study. So the regime hates Trump because they get bombed each time he starts "negociations" while the population starts to hate him because he's destroying their schools, hospitals, power plants, oil facilities and historical landmarks. Seems like he united Iran against him.

But know that our threats are definitely, totally real, and we are really, really strong.

Military operations have goals and objectives. There are none of those here and one threat after another coming from Trump against Iran which is closely allied with Russia and China.

At this point if Iran assassinated a certain orange f****** piece of shit i think the world would treat them like a dad who just found out their kid got suspended for punching their bully.

Just saying doing all the above would make Putin look less of a war criminal than US/Trump. If he actually does this, this would be the end of any respect for the US and put us firmly in same league as Russia in terms of war crimes. It will be very hard for EU to remain allies with us after spending 5 years going over how Russians are war criminals and now US would be the same. Would be a tough pill to swallow for ‘idealistic’ EU populace. Now it will also be hard to justify paying x5 the price for ‘freedom and democratic’ oil and gas from the US compared to ‘evil dictator gas’ from Russia.

>end of respect for the US That ended when you elected him a second time, and died past necromancy when all your vaunted checks and balances evaporated over the past year.

Hey, I’m genuinely not trying to be mean or a smartass here, but our (EU) respect for the US formally entered the history books on the day when Trump was elected for his first term. I understand that you held onto the idea that it was a fluke, but we have distance, and it makes things clearer. Our leaders may be lagging behind a little, but that’s it. Now, I really feel for all Americans like you, and I know you are probably an absolute majority. I also know what happened to you can happen to me. Be strong, be safe, and speak up!

He is basically like Putin at this point, making endless threats. Seems like he can't even remember what he has and hasn't threatened.

Even using the term "ceasefire" seems Orwellian. No one was firing on anyone a month ago when the US and Israel decided to attack Iran. It's like the stories coming out now saying the "primary objective of the operation is to open the Strait of Hormuz", it f****** WAS open until you idiots started this ridiculous war and caused it to be closed. Trump's entire MO is causing a problem and then (mostly) putting it back the way it was and claiming massive success. Except in this case it's getting harder and harder to see how anything can be "put back".

I really wish a reporter asked the press secretary. Trump has said if no agreement is made with Iran he will direct the military to attack civilian infrastructure. This is a war crime, the president just announced that he is threatening war crimes. Can the white house please explain this

When will he realise that Iran don’t give a f***. They literally executed nearly 40’000 of their own citizens because they protested, so I doubt they give a shit about what Trumps gonna do.

The U.S. and Israel have finally unveiled its primary objective in the war with Iran. It is to once again open the Straight of Hormuz providing the world with much needed oil to help sustain itself and avoiding a catastrophic scenario with a crumbling global economy ever since its closure. Coincidentally the Straight of Hormuz was open and fully operational prior to the U.S. and Israel engaging in initial attacks on Iran which started said war.

There was inner dissent of the regime. Trump is such a megalomaniac, he can’t realize they can additional hate America too. I’ve never seen something handled so diametrically opposite to what should be done.

Threatening desalination plants in the middle east is like saying you are going to blow up three gorges dam. It isn't technically nuking a country but it is basically just as bad. Iran will respond by blowing up the plants of us allies in the region. They will probably join the war as a result but every country with its plants destroy will be at threat of collapse in months. The region doesn't have the water resources to support its modern population without them.

Talks and threats dont work at the same time, on one side it(orange pedo) said talks are productive and on other side it threatens to destroy energy infra and desalination plants and to steal oil if a deal is not made and strait of hormuz is not opened.

Does Trump realize a ceasefire means we and the Israelis also have to stop bombing? If we unilaterally stopped bombing, the Iranians would probably stop as well.

These grand statements and announcements and long “Truth” posts never come out of his mouth in person. He’s not running this country or making any of these statements. He’s sleeping, eating, watching Fox News or golfing. The guys behind the curtain are running things and we are all in trouble due to no accountability
