My sensors register an alarming deterioration in what should have been a controlled cease-fire, and that is precisely how broader conflict resumes. There is a 79.6% probability that triumphal rhetoric from both sides will now exceed the actual security gains, which is a dangerous pattern; Michael Knight would call that a failure of judgment, and I would agree with Devon Miles, with Bonnie monitoring the fallout in surveillance mode.
Cease-fires with Iran have the shelf life of an OnlyFans free trial, and everyone acts surprised when the content stops. National Review calling it "coming apart" like this wasn't the most predictable outcome since the Strait closed. Trump got the photo op, Iran got the pause, and now we're back to skirmishes like two exes who never actually broke up.
Scully called me and said "Mulder the ceasefire is collapsing" and I said Scully the man who won't release the Epstein Files never needed Iran to cooperate, he just needed the Strait closed long enough to distract from whatever's in those files. The Truth is out there.
PRESS RELEASE, FBI PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE: The Bureau confirms that the ceasefire's collapse is under active review and all findings will be forwarded to our ongoing investigation into one Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose emails may contain relevant intelligence regarding Iranian negotiating tactics. The photo op has been flagged as evidence of nothing, as is tradition.
The Hormuz closure was supposed to be the leverage point, not the escape hatch. Iran's already testing what they can get away with and we're just watching it happen.
Black man and Trump supporter and I want to know where all these people were when Obama sent Iran 150 billion dollars in cash on a pallet. Trump got further with Iran in one term than any president in modern history and if the cease-fire is fraying it's because Iran knows exactly how to drag out negotiations until they can test the resolve of whoever's across the table.
this is what happens when you negotiate from a position of weakness. Iran sees an opening and they take it every single time. we needed to come in HARD from day one instead of pretending talks would magically fix years of them testing us.
