US military strikes Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas

>A US official tells Axios that US forces bombed Iran tonight, but the strikes are not a resumption of the war. Yes, these were entirely peaceful bombings. Easy to confuse.

This is the ultimate sign they are close to a deal

"The official ​said the strikes do ​not mean a restarting of the war or an end to ​the ceasefire announced ​on April 7, according to the ‌post." LOL. Utter clownshow.

This doesn’t seem very ceasefiery after reading it a few times…

.....good thing this war is over and we are following peace.

Just a little incursion nothing to see here

15 minutes before this was posted, there was an earlier post suggesting they are close to a deal. Bonkers.

So talks of a deal is straight up market manipulation.

Wait for the next Trump bleat about a deal tomorrow morning before markets open.

10 weeks in the 4-6 week war

"The official said the strikes do not mean a restarting of the war or an end to the ceasefire announced on April 7, according to the ‌post." Well it does mean that .. when fire unceases

I see they waited until markets closed

Markets will dump on Friday Announce “peace” over the weekend Markets will pump on Monday Taco Tuesday

Of course after market close

The art of the deal.

Axios: US military drops metal canisters containing peace deals to Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas

Axios still try to pass this as a 'everything is fine, let the market melt up continue'... Doing their master bidding til' their last breath

Iran also apparently damaged a US ship with some missiles and explosions were heard in Tehran. But it’s ok the White House said this is still a ceasefire

“The official said the strikes do not mean a restarting of the war or an end to the ceasefire announced on April 7, according to the ‌post.” How does that work in 2026? You just continue striking while saying the ceasefire is still in place? That is so literal contradicting I can’t even… we going to call then peace bombs?

Ah yes, that was expected - someone likely close to (or in) the Trump administration/family buy oil just as Trump says the war is over, and get huge gains when Trump takes hostile actions against Iran and the oil price shoots up. There is are so many things interesting about the Trump admin; the insider trading is one of the most interesting but the most interesting of all to me is why people keep falling for Trumps clear market manipulation.

>May 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. military on Thursday carried out ‌strikes on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas, a Fox News reporter said in a post on X, citing a ⁠senior U.S. official. >The official said the strikes do not mean a restarting of the war or an end to the ceasefire announced on April 7, according to the ‌post. Obviously this statement is laughable but what's terrifying is that FOX News viewers will buy it. They won't see that bombing Iran means that there is no ceasefire and the war isn't over. But because some MAGA talking head told them a bombing isn't actually breaking a ceasefire they will agree. I'm sure if this was posted in the conservative sub (I doubt it) they'd still claim there is a ceasefire.

I held out for so long thinking things would escalate and just yesterday I gave up on that idea and put 10k into the market...

Netanyahu really doesn't want to testify.

I thought our "objectives were accomplished". The reporting during this war has been overall rather confusing

But wait, why would they bomb Iran when the agreement is so close?

Ah yes the classic peaceful bombings.

So the previous war is over and this is a new one? What are we on…Iran war 11? There’s going to be more wars with Iran in a few months than Star Wars movies.

Look how desensitized everyone has become. Jokes galore. I'm not even going to say "if it were xx president" The u.s. is gone.

Man the Epstein files must be really bad.

Christ almighty, this administration is truly incompetent. Just can't get out of their own way.

do you have any comment on your remarks yesterday, Secretary Rubio?

Just love taps.

Ceasefire still going, this doesnt count toward the 60. They were the kids on the playground that were horrible at everything, so they tried to make up rules to benefit only themselves.

But don't forget this is NOT "epic fury."

Because nothing says ‘peace process’ like bombing ports at midnight.

Ah I forgot to buy this week.

Good thing markets were closed, wheeeeeew!

“We are currently firing at them, but this does not mean an end to the ceasefire.” This really is 1984’s doublethink come to life.

the markets must be closed

I thought a cease-fire meant a ceasing of the firing. I guess it's more an ease-fire at this point.

>The official ​said the strikes do ​not mean a restarting of the war or an end to ​the ceasefire announced ​on April 7 Wut?

Still not a war though guys, trust them, definitely totally not a war

Don't worry everyone.. these are strategic confetti strikes to celebrate the concept of a deal.

I thought it was over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over, not over, over?

Trump gonna pump on Friday with some BS about new deal.

How’s that ceasefire going again?

> The official ​said the strikes do ​not mean a restarting of the war or an end to ​the ceasefire announced ​on April 7, according to the ‌post. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Bombing just for fun.

At this point what even is a ceasefire anymore

Yes the market was down today so you gotta bomb Iran to say you're not gonna bomb them tomorrow to make stocks go up

"Nope, no war to see here. We're bombing in peace!" 

Can we stop pretending that there's a ceasefire now?

Tomorrow: "This is not a war. We are very close to a deal. Talks between Trump and Iranian officials are so nice."

Waited until after the market closes. Gross.

Baron needed more robux

Operation Incredible Freedom is clearly a whole different thing from Operation Epic Freedom.

War is over... if you want it. Our administration obviously doesn't.

So the war is back on? Is the ceasefire still in effect? Did Pete steal Kash's bourbon?

Operation Epic Fuckup.

“The ceasefire is not over,” “Ultimately, this is a separate, distinct project,” \[Hegseth\] said, “and we expected there would be some churn at the beginning, which happened. And we said we would defend and defend aggressively, and we absolutely have.”

Peace bombs.

Art of the deal.

Dirty diaper donnie is sure stinking the whole planet up. I wish this rapist clown would disappear.

> The official ​said the strikes do ​not mean a restarting of the war or an end to ​the ceasefire announced ​on April 7, according to the ‌post. They are very lucky their voters are too dumb to know the meaning of words like ceasefire or war.

So tuesday will be TACO time

amount of people who believes that US is obligated to still obey ceasefire despite Iran already breaking it multiple times is astounding
