From his account at Truth Social:
1. "The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear 'Dust,' created by our great B2 Bombers - No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!! Thank you! President DJT"
2. "Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger! President DJT"
3. "Thank you to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar for your great bravery and help! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
4. "Iran, with the help of the U.S.A., has removed, or is removing, all sea mines! Thank you! President DJT"
5. "Again! This deal is not tied, in any way, to Lebanon, but we will, MAKE LEBANON GREAT AGAIN!"
6. "Thank you to Pakistan and its Great Prime Minister and Field Marshall, two fantastic people!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
7. "A GREAT AND BRILLIANT DAY FOR THE WORLD! DJT"
8. "Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
9. "The Failing New York Times, FAKE NEWS CNN, and others, just don’t know what to do. They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it. Why don’t they just say, at the right time, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, and start to gain back their credibility???"

Will the media and ‘rat party eat their words?
Tune in tomorrow…
My study of history leads me to believe that the market doesn't set all time highs during the apocalypse. The big winner here is not Trump but the USA.......We'll see how it goes, but people who put their money where their mouth is are affirming Trump's words......Saddam was able to reassert control of Iraq after his loss in the first war. To say that we won is not to say that the people of Iran won. Perhaps things will continue to go bad for them.
"Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!! Thank you! President DJT"
wow. Isreal needs to appeal to judge Boasberg
I do not think Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, and I do not think Trump has lost this war.
AMEN!
O great. Now President Trump wants the demise of the NYT.
It would 100% kill them to write: Job well done, Mr. President.
“Perhaps things will continue to go bad for them.”
It’s the left’s last great hope. Can’t you hear their prayers, “Please God, we beg of you. Make them suffer.”
I trust Iran, and United States to keep their promises. Especially if they are written down and have important signatures.
Trump is certainly consuming all the oxygen in the room.

Dude's getting crazy or wants us to think he's crazy. Or maybe both.
But…. The midterms… no more wars… oil prices… Abraham Accords…
oh - Looksee here:
The Groyoper- Leftist connection. Must watch.
Flathead friedman hardest hit
I'M TELLING THE WORLD THAT IRAN HAS AGREED TO EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR, SO NOW THEY HAVE TO DO IT.
The guy is a nut, but I have learned to love him!
Crazy like a fox!
Even Kak is finally catching on. I'm sure it is a temporary thing.
Kak-a-bitch - really . You are SO stale.
True story: when Trump was running the first time I went to a rally in South Bend. Talked to a guy from New Jersey, about 60 years old, who told me, “I’ve watched Trump manipulate the media like an organ grinder’s monkeys my whole life. He always wins in the end.” That was for me the best understanding of Trump I’d heard up to that point and even to today.
Yeah they have no imagination.
well we know what a trash heap the young turks are
I believe that there will be a semi-permanent US presence in the Gulf and over the Strait in order to keep Iran in line.
This will be depicted by the press (and our resident naysayers) as "neverending war" and "broken promises." Nevermind that Iran no longer controls the Strait-we do.
Peachy @ 11:34
That is excellent.
"Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again. "
I will believe it when the Iranians are saying this.
So all the Mensa candidates on this site, who were gloating that the chinese had made Trump back down from the blockade, will now apologize since that turned out to be a lie?
A lot of traders retards are invested in the United States failing here.
It’s gonna be a rough few months for you Idiots.
This looks like limited audience comms. He seems to mainly be speaking to the participants in the conflict and the media reporting it.
They got cut in the shorts
Crazy like a fox.
"I will believe it when the Iranians are saying this."
That's pretty funny.
We'll see soon enough. If he can secure the enriched uranium that's going to be huge.
So he then announced that he is maintaining the blockade on Iran and Iran says that they only opened it until the ceasefire expires on Tuesday, I guess.
Looks a goodwill gesture by Iran and it kind of looks like Trump is stomping on it.
Maybe I am wrong, time will tell, but Trump’s record on this suggests that it’s nowhere near over. Not to mention Netanyahu wants Southern Lebanon as part of greater Israel.
I will wait and hope for the best.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/17/iran-foreign-minister-says-strait-of-hormuz-completely-open
BTW, they offered the enriched uranium before Netanyahu attacked, he was freaked out that it might prevent the war he has wanted for 47 years.
Oh yeah, it has always been in the form of dust.
"I will wait and hope for the best."
You will do neither.
imTay, you should consider looking for work at as journalist for a major city news outfit. Your insights are right on par with them. It's not a compliment. Wait...are you a paid journalist?
I wrote a few days ago somewhere (don't think it was here) that people are missing what is taking place. And what is taking place could be nothing short of President Trump changing the world, while the media misses yet another huge story in front of them.
Venezuela is changed.
Iran is changing. Even if this move toward opening the straits and having some general points agreed to don't pan out, and even if Iran would unsurprisingly try something evil in the interim, they are a changed nation. They are far weaker and more vulnerable than at any point in the last 47 years. And their citizenry is looking to be rid of them.
If this works, it changes the entire world.
Lebanon/Israel speaking for the first time in 2 generations and discussing peace. Both want Hezbollah to be eviscerated. (imTay- look up Hezbollah and you'll understand Israel's attention toward South Lebanon).
Oil from Venezuela and Iran being directed by the US- with China as their main customer- makes it very interesting.
Also- Cuba. This is going to happen. Cuba will be changing as well.
Remember, the Sainted and Knighted One, Barack Obama, the Lightbringer, made a number of fine speeches. And then he sent pallet loads of cash to Iran based on their smile and telling him they'd be good.
And they did that to John Kerry as well.
And Antony Blinken and Joe Biden as well.
And, of course, Hillary Clinton.
All the noble experts were wrong. And that is why Iran thought Trump would be just another American blowhard. Because since Jimmy Carter, we've only shown them blowhards. It's one thing to act like you're tough. It's quite another to actually be tough.
Donald Trump has done for America what no President has done since Ronald Reagan. And he's not done.
In the meantime, our media will continue to work against us. And leftists will continue to wring their hands and whine.
All the "winning" is starting to become tiresome.
Fools ignore history, Temujin. The biggest mistake Europe made was believing US media reporting on America and American politics. The NYT doesn't understand the very country they purport to inform.
Iran, as in the IRGC and Mullahs, showed their hand. They blockaded the Strait of Hormuz and charged a toll for any nation that wanted "freedom of navigation" in/out of the Persian Gulf. It was necessary for the IRGC to do this so all the feckless in the UK, EU, NATO, India and China could not deny their vulnerability to Iranian extortion.
And who could complain about an Iranian toll/blockade if they had a nuclear deterrent to threaten? So all the non-US complainers have faced their existential risk and failed.
Now I'm beginning to wonder if a greater plan, perhaps not overt, hasn't been forming. The Abraham Accords bringing Saudi/Israeli cooperation. The risk of the Persian Gulf being blocked off. Solution, a pipeline from Saudi Arabia through Jordan and Israel to move oil around the chokepoints of the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el Mandab to where it can supply Europe?
In any case, this has highlighted a problem for Europe, China and India. Yet US lives were put in harms way.
America is winning, and that makes the commies so mad.
So far, China and Iran have proven to be wimps. They have been conditioned to believe America is all talk and no action. Past Presidents have talked tough, and sent them money.
Trump has kicked their collective asses, and exposed the MSM as cheap shills for Islam.
Obama and his Iranian muslim friends are upset. LOL
Solution, a pipeline from Saudi Arabia through Jordan and Israel to move oil around the chokepoints of the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el Mandab to where it can supply Europe?
I can tell you for a fact that Azerbaijan, Iran, and Iraq have pipelines that go through Turkey and then flow to the Med. I make this point to note the solution has existed for a while and was part of the cause for war between Russia and Georgia. Russia invaded to claim just enough land to control a major valve on one of those pipelines. Europe and the US did nothing about it.
You can see the ships (mostly cargo) heading for the Straits of Hormuz now.
There's a larger Trump strategy. Trump faced the fact that US lacked the political will to prepare itself to fight a two-front war, which was China's strategy.
By neutralizing China's proxies in the Middle East and the Western Hemisphere, Trump has taken off the table major fronts in any potential global war. Rather than spread our defenses thin, the US can now focus on building Asia-Pacific alliances to counter China.
The Obama - Communist - Globalist - Leftist - theocratic Islamist nexus of forever war.
They are the real war-whores.
Yeah OK. Good. maybe it will pan out. I'll wait for Iran to say what they agreed to.
1) Trump cant prohibit israel from doing anything.
2) Iran can promise to never blockade the strait, but still can.
3) I sincerely doubt Iran will give up its program of nuclear power (Not weapons). Its still working with Russia on that.
4) Iran will have to obtain nukes or sign a defense pact with Russia/China to prevent the USA from launching another sneak attack.
RC - when you say "Iran" - you mean the Theocratic Old Dying Losers - right?
Temujin - 12:40
Chef's kiss!
Iran's internal affairs are its own problem. The idea that Iran has been an aggressive rogue state is absurd. Its Israel and the USA that have been bombing, attacking, and committing war crimes. And like I wrote before, I don't give a flying fig whether Iran has nukes or not. I only want the USA to stop with the endless Middle east wars.
RC said
"The idea that Iran has been an aggressive rogue state is absurd. "
OMG. Yeah - not a state sponsor of terror at all. /// right.
Over the last five years or so, Russia invaded Ukraine and revealed its military to be ineffective. China provided air defense technology to Venezuela, which proved to be ineffective. China also provided military technology to Iran, where it proved to be ineffective. Iran launched around 2000 ballistic missiles at various targets in the Middle East (plus two towards Diego Garcia), but killed only 24 people, mostly Israeli civilians, so again, largely ineffective. The UK's navy is so weak that it couldn't even send a ship, and the rest of NATO showed the lack of will - ineffective.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has had surprising success through creative drone use. Israel has as usual done well militarily. And the United States has shown itself to be head and shoulders above the rest of the world in almost every way militarily.
All of this should change the calculations and future plans of much of the world.
" Iran will have to obtain nukes or sign a defense pact with Russia/China to prevent the USA from launching another sneak attack"
Or just don't enrich to 60% and stop making ballistic missiles, and stop arming Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
They already lost Syria. They lost their navy. They might lose Hizbollah. Mayber they should focus on rebuilding.
"Stripping away the rhetoric, the only substantive points in Trump's post are (1) the Strait of Hormuz is open (which Iran announced yesterday IIRC), (2) Iran has agreed to give the "dust" to the U.S., and (maybe 3) the U.S. will tell Israel to stop bombing Lebanon."
Yes, the only substantiate points are:
IRAN GIVES UP ITS URANIUM. Gee, that seems like a big deal.
HORMUZ IS OPEN. Hormuz is already open - 30 ships passed yesterday. Iran deciding to jump in and claim its open is just words...they are still blockaded BTW. So that is Iran capitulating to reality.
Lebanon would be nice, but its not that important.
I like "Hezboolah." If that's not the way it's spelled, it ought to be.
RC Cole - the rest of moral humanity is sick and tired of Iran's forever terror.
Against the region and its own people - including women and children.
MLGA is not a thing. When was Lebanon great? Not in my lifetime. I don't think. I haven't really been paying attention. But if somebody had asked me, name the top 10 great countries, Lebanon would not have made the cut. I kinda doubt it would make the top 100.
"Where are you going on your honeymoon?"
"Beirut."
"Beirut? Holy shit."
Plus, I don't know if you noticed this, nobody can say, "MLGA." That's not how English works. You need another vowel. Either add a damn word or toss the whole saying and start over.
Lebanon was great. In the 1950s - 1970s. Beirut was known as Paris of the east. It was glamorous, cosmopolitan, with a vibrant nightlife, French-inspired architecture and culture, luxury hotels, world-class restaurants, theaters, cafes, and a thriving arts scene. Hamra Street was compared to the Champs-Élysées, full of boutiques, cinemas, and intellectual life.
It’s an absolute tragedy what happened to Lebanon
To say that we won is not to say that the people of Iran won. Perhaps things will continue to go bad for them.
Things are going bad for the people of Afghanistan right now. Islamic dictatorships can be very cruel places to live, hellish and mean-spirited. In other places, not so bad. Depends on the dictator.
It looks like we've decimated their military so much, the civilian government is now in control of Iran. That has to be a big improvement over the ayatollahs or the IRGC running the show.
Interpol still has a red notice on Ahmad Vahidi, the head of the IRGC, for murdering Jews in Argentina. Maybe Israel can find him.
Yeah, Lebanon used to be great before israel started bombing and invading it. Right now they want to steal the southern part. They killed 250 civilians in their last attack on Beirut, and they deliberately target journalists and ambulances. And of course, civilians they don't like and want to assassinate. Gangsters.
Lebanon fell apart not just because of Israel but because it was part muslim and part Christian the two groups couldn't get along. The french kept them together. And before that the Ottoman Turks.
thanks Eva
I was way too young to remember any of that
I think my first memory of Beirut was when our embassy was bombed. That was just a few years after Iran invaded our embassy and took hostages.
I find it hilarious that Trump is saying Israel is Prohibited from attacking Lebanon. I'm sure the Iranians are getting a big laugh out of that too. Bibi gives orders to Trump - not the other way round. If israel stops attacking it will be because they want to, not because Trump says so. Trump marches to whatever tune Miriam Addleson and AIPAC play.
Iran was probably behind the bombing of our embassy in Lebanon. That never occurred to me until now.
Really an awful regime and terrorist state. So glad they're not getting nukes. Hoping and praying that a civilian government and actual democracy (instead of a pretend democracy) can take hold there.
---- We'll see how it goes, but people who put their money where their mouth is are affirming Trump's words..... [William]
Unless that is the mother of all reversals underway in the VIX today. It takes some big money to make that happen. Not hard to register that the euphoria is off the charts, while the market is still suffering from bad breadth. A volatility reversal here would be harsh and would also leave the VIX far from its lows at the previous index highs.
A divergence for the ages?
The final, most irrational spurt in a madcap complex of years of irrationality? Don't look at the long-term charts of price and valuation unless nothing ever makes you dizzy.
RCO, I cannot tell you how weird it is that you think Iran was a force for peace in the Middle East. It is beyond strange that you think Israel is the bad guy in the region, and that we were at war with the wrong country.
You voted for Trump, right? Believe me when I say, he has a far better grasp of foreign relations than you do. In fact, every president in American history has a better grasp of foreign relations than you do. Every single one of them has supported Israel. Regardless of party.
“deliberately target journalists and ambulances. And of course, civilians they don't like and want to assassinate. Gangsters.”
Propaganda.
The best way to tell whether this is true or not is this:
How do Israelis treat their own citizens. That’s an indicator of how they treat others.
Now the folks living in Gaza. How do they treat their own citizens?
That’s one way to recognize what is propaganda and what is not.
why did Israel invade Lebanon?
oh right the PLO terrorists were based in camps in Lebanon.
I wonder what happened to those camps.
Too many bone thugacracies we let linger the arafat husseini clan the castros the military dictatorship than the irgc created
After being expelled from Jordan in 1970–71 (Black September), the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) relocated to Lebanon.
They set up bases in Palestinian refugee camps, especially in southern Lebanon and Beirut.
These camps became:
Civilian refugee areas
Armed PLO strongholds
The irgc trained mugniyeh the lead officer was asghari who later was hired by the cia to lie to us about their nuclear program
Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990)
The PLO became a major player in the war
Fought alongside some Lebanese factions against others
This made the camps targets for multiple groups
1975?
But Israel invaded in 1982.
I guess Israel didn't cause the civil war.
We evacuated arafat and his whole brood to tunisia
The other factions saw that fatah could openly brandish (thanks to the squirrel (franjieh) and they said every should
Now it was iraq that actually put out the hit on the israeli ambassador through abu nidal but he was just another franchisee of arafat
You can see the ships (mostly cargo) heading for the Straits of Hormuz now.
What about the gays of Hormuz? Who's going to protect them?
Nidal and the soviete trained the doctor who tortured william buckley to deal
Iran sprinkling a bit of cold water on the Trump narrative. This is actually smart of Iran — instead of Don Tzu Art of the Deal.
And consistent with their position all along that Lebanon was part of the cease-fire and opening the strait was contingent on the ceasefire.
So, Israel will get the blame if Lebanon's war restarts. And both
US/Israel get the blame if the strait is closed again.
Pallets of cash to Iran, you say?
“U.S. considers $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran as peace talks progress. Whether Iran takes the offer is another matter. We might find out in Islamabad this weekend.”
https://www.axios.com/2026/04/17/iran-us-deal-20-billion-frozen-funds-uranium
the US can now focus on building Asia-Pacific alliances to counter China.
Japan has been actively protecting Taiwan. They just sailed a warship through the Taiwan straight. Third time they've done that since 2024.
I’m thinking 2028 Republican ticket:
Rubio Gabbard
Unbeatable
After vienna and rome abu nidal was driven to kill off his whole cew
Then he fled to iraq (no one else would take him)
Peachy at 11:34
wow!
RCO
Are you saying that the Jews caused Lebanon to fall apart?
Also, is there anything bad that has happened in the Mideast or Europe or America that is not the fault of the Jews?
Asking for a friend who is a scholar of medieval European history. You know, when the Jews were pretty much blamed for everything bad that happened.
Franjieh the other maronite screwed things up
Why do we know so little about this because of scribes like friedman who was as clueless as halberstam about vietnam
The straits of hormuz are closed
But the Gay straits of hormuz are always open for business
If you know what i mean.
I think we need to remember what Iran's MO is: posting fake shit on the internet to claim they are winning
Now its possible they are bamboozling our negotiators or that everyone is just talking bullshit into the internet.
Eva Marie, Rubio/Gabbard is probably the most able combination of MAGA lieutenants, but to actually get elected there's got to be JD or Hegseth in there somewhere. Too many voters have no idea who either one of them is.
Hegseth/Gabbard could be the sexiest ticket ever.
JD/Rubio would be a massively intellectual tag team, but also with JD's combativeness.
Hegseth/Rubio are already cooperating on foreign policy, so putting them in the #1 and #2 seats would keep that organic synergy going.
(note: in listing these pairs, I make no choice as to which should be Potus and which the VP.)

In the early 70s, my friends traveled thru Afghanistan , Iran, and Lebanon and Israel.
This was before muslims killed their way to taking over the two countries, with communist, leftist help. After taking over Iran, they killed all the feminists, communists and other 'supporters'. Just like EVERY totalitarian regime does.
Lebanon was a beautiful Christian country. Then they invited in the PLO and muslims proceeded to kill rape and evict them.
The muslims are scum, and they will do the same here.
Notice the left, and the leftist idiots on this blog, support muslims. History is difficult for people who are so stupid.
I would prefer to deport them to Iran or Afghanistan, or southern Lebanon, and then ask them who the good guys are, and who the killers are.
If I were a betting man, I would bet that Trump is making all of these claims, which the other side denies most of them, and the rest he twisted, it’s so that he can justify the renewed attacks that Netanyahu wants.
There are lots of possibilities, and anything can happen, but that’s my guess. Time will tell.
Trump isn’t going to endorse JD and without the endorsement he loses in the primary. But actually, I don’t think he’ll run.
The war in Iran produced winners and losers. Vance was a clear loser.
and as to who would be a good future president or vp-it won't matter if the commies take control after the midterms.
There won't be a 28 election , or if there is one, it will be 2020 on steroids.
Get out and vote, republicans are pussies when it comes to voting , and backing candidates who can win.
Or Bessent/Grenell: Make America Gay Already!! CC, JSM
If you believe everything that Jimmy says, I guess that we are justified in everything thing we and Israel do!

Iran/hezbollah/houthis/hamas were all globalist catspaws to keep the ME in a constant state of unrest and give Lloyd's of London effective contol over the straight of hormuz.
This allowed the people who own Lloyd's of London to move all manufacturing to SE Asia and destroy the western manufacturing base.

You are a historically illiterate retard.
Look at the pictures of women at the beach in Lebanon in the 70's and 80's. Jews and Christians all over the place in swimsuits.
Now there are 0 Jews and almost no Christians left in Lebanon. Israel bombed all of the Christians and Jews out of Lebanon.

Japan is taking care of that for us.
Japan, Argentina, El Salvador, Chile, Pakistan, India are an interesting set of allies.
Pakistan has been especially reformed since Trump averted the Pakistan/India war.
It looks like Venezuela and soon Cuba will be added to the list of allies.
I sincerely doubt Iran will give up its program of nuclear power (Not weapons). Its still working with Russia on that.
But why would Iran spend money on nuclear power plants when it sits on an ocean of oil? The mid-east has never been a hotbed of environmental activism. The importance of nuclear power was always just a sop to American Democrats — who desperately wanted to believe.
Unanswered by our brilliant negotiators is: How many nukes can Iran buy from the Norks with $20 billion? Only Kim Jong Un knows for sure.
It must be painful to be this ignorant,
Interesting film about the Beirut civil war shot on location staring the guy who played Hitler in Downfall.
Volker Schlöndorff’s 1981 film, Circle of Deceit (Die Fälschung), is a renowned drama shot on location in war-torn Beirut, Lebanon, during the civil war. Starring Bruno Ganz and Hanna Schygulla, it focuses on a German journalist covering the conflict, blending fiction with the, then, real-world brutality of Beirut.

What we don’t know is why the international community would allow North Korea to sell nuclear weapons to Iran, but perhaps Botfly recognizes the international community has now proven themselves incapable of enforcing the treaty meant to prevent such sales. Fortunately, Trump has shown the US willingness and capability to stop such sales.
More likely Botfly didn’t know the Trump Administration helped negotiate a new treaty to prohibit the spread of nuclear weapons in 2017, that was accepted by the UN by a vote of 122 to 1. With such a treaty in place, and Trump just proving he’s willing to use force to stop Iran from violating it, why would negotiators need to talk about North Korea violating the treaty?
Imagine if Lincoln could have posted on social media. What a collection we would have.
And while Trump was (supposedly) blogging this, he was ensconced in one of the penthouse suites 20 or so floors above us in Las Vegas.
There are downsides to the President being resident I the same place as you are staying: S S checkpoints, metal detectors, dogs, increased police presence, longer hours, and lower tips for the staff, etc. There are some advantages too: reduced crime, a certain excitement, etc. Last night, late, we had a couple of working women try to get in. Wasn’t going to happen. Bad side? We are trying to fly today, about noon. Not a good time. Esp when that is when He is supposed to leave.
Truman used to write and not send hate mail to various people who upset him. Most notably a music critic who lambasted Margaret's recital. And of course he got the nickname "Give em Hell Harry" for swearing a blue streak to the press. Who never quoted him verbatim, but made it known. Different times.
If the press weren't so actively hostile to Republican presidents, Trump might not have resorted to Twitter as a way to get his own story out there. CC, JSM
I had thought that Trump should have waited and watched out for Iranian treachery, but now I understand that a 1200-passenger cruise ship, the Celestyal Discovery [yes, that’s how it’s spelled] is currently transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Greek sailors got balls and their passengers are nuts.
What happened to the Christians?
Before 1970, Lebanon was a Christian-majority nation. The war fundamentally altered this demographic.Massive Displacement: Christians were often forced out of mixed areas. For example, in West Beirut, the Christian population dropped from 35% in 1975 to roughly 5% today.
Internal Conflicts: Some of the bloodiest fighting occurred between rival Christian militias (e.g., the "War of Elimination" in 1990) as they fought for dominance over the "Christian enclave."Emigration: Fearing both the violence and the rise of militant Islamism, hundreds of thousands of Christians fled to Europe (particularly France), the US, Canada, and Australia.
Political Shift: The Taif Agreement (1989), which ended the war, stripped the Christian President of much of his power, redistributing it toward the Sunni Prime Minister and Shi'a Speaker of the House to reflect the new demographic reality.
What happened to the Jews?
Lebanon once had a thriving Jewish community (roughly 20,000 in 1948), centered mostly in the Wadi Abu Jamil quarter of Beirut.
Initial Tolerance: Unlike many other Arab nations, Lebanon was relatively tolerant of its Jewish population in the early 20th century.
The War's Impact: During the civil war, the Jewish Quarter was located near the "Green Line" (the front line separating East and West Beirut). It became a wasteland of snipers and shelling.
Pogroms and Kidnappings: In the mid-1980s, the situation turned deadly. Groups like Hezbollah kidnapped several prominent Jewish leaders; many were later found murdered.
The Final Exodus: By the end of the war, almost the entire community had fled. Today, only a handful of Jewish citizens remain in Lebanon (mostly elderly women).
Legacy: The Maghen Abraham Synagogue in Beirut was recently restored as a heritage site, but it remains largely empty—a beautiful shell representing a community that has effectively vanished from the country.
FDR should’ve just declared victory in 1942 and told everyone we’d won. Would’ve been a lot easier.
Yet here we are—I’m shocked that about 10 hours after Trump declared total victory, nothing has changed from yesterday.
The only explanation for RCO’s lunacy is his overwhelming hatred for anything Judaic. He needs a lot of help.
To help Tiny E the following changes from yesterday:
Stoc market +800
Strait of Hormuz fully open
Price of oil down 15%
Etc, etc
This is the 4th or 5th time Trump has told us the war with Iran is over. Let’s hope it is this time.
Zionist playbook - Do not talk about Israeli war crimes. Do not talk about Israeli attacks on other countries and groups. Do not talk about Bibi's constant breaking of treaties and UN agreement. Do not talk about Israeli's killing anyone they don't like. Did you know some extremists - Menachem Begin's stern gang- even tried to Kill Harry truman?
No tactic is....change the subject. Derail. Call names. SOP.

Netanyahus father was the world renowned Inqusition historian hes seen this story before
That’s one way to recognize what is propaganda and what is not.
Another way: is the same standard being applied to both sides?
Another way: what measures does each side take to avoid civilian casualties, and how do we know - can independent journalists observe those measures?
Another way: do journalists reporting on a situation have long histories of, say, participating in early childhood education that involves encouraging little kids to kill people because of their religion, ethnicity, or national origin? Is the ink dry on their journalistic credentials?
Another way: do journalists reporting on a situation make their livelihood from NGOs affiliated with the UN, with "journalism" being a essentially a volunteer gig because, magically, they find themselves in a place where their affiliations are useful?
Iman,
On testosterone, remember when a bunch of NPR guys got tested, and we discovered that they were all WAY down near the lower healthy limit, with several in the "probably needs treatment" zone.
The ball is in China's court now. They are already trying to run the blockade with limited success. I can't imagine a military option is a viable alternative for them. That leaves them two options. Pressure Iran to succumb and agree to American terms which will mean higher energy costs for China, or help Iran play the long game and wait the US out. Three carrier groups can't stay there forever.
pacwest, that's why the US has eleven carrier groups.
If this new Peace holds what a wonderful day for the World. Try to keep your TDS from overwhelming you, turn off NPR for a day, and just appreciate what's happening.
Well, there he goes again. Accomplishing things, sure, but then he goes and sends mean tweets about it!
“On testosterone, remember when a bunch of NPR guys got tested, and we discovered that they were all WAY down near the lower healthy limit, with several in the ‘probably needs treatment’ zone.”
LOL… yes, Fred Drinkwater, I certainly do remember that. There is definitely something to this contention. And if you couple this (no pun intended) with the extremely low birth rate of lefty womyn, compared to conservative females, I suspect the proggies will fade away to nothing over time.
Iran says Strait of Hormuz is 'open' but tracking shows few ships moving, as Trump says US blockade will continue ~ BBC
"Iran’s parliament speaker says that the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open until the US blockade is lifted, ships that want to pass through must still get IRGC permission."
>Iran would still insist merchant vessels require permission from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps before transiting the strait.
>Trump said the US naval blockade he ordered this week to prevent ships entering or leaving Iranian ports would also remain in place
So what is it? Is the strait open or not? Will there be a fee?

Thanks Maynard. How clear and decisive your stand is - when it comes to Israel. As opposed to your blogger profile where you're "Mostly this" and "Somewhat that" and so gosh darned nuanced. No one's gonna pin you down. Or figure out where you live.
Turn it up! (If’n you wanna)

I would say that Trump was lying about all the claims he's made today about Iran's total capitulation, but is it a lie if his source is a voice in his head?
Iran Tells Mediators Re-Opening of Hormuz Is Still Limited ~ WSJ
"Iran has told mediators that it will continue limiting the number of ships allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz and charge tolls for the remaining period of the ceasefire. This comes despite Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posting on X that the strait is "open." Iranian officials, including conservative lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian and parliament member Ali Khezrian, have publicly confirmed that only some commercial ships will pass if they pay tolls, with the IRGC retaining the ability to block vessels from "hostile" countries."
TinyE® is that Fatman in the Bathtub.
The best part is we don't even need to lift the blockade. The United States ahs all of the time in the world.
The United States is raking in cash, most of it from China who is forced to buy oil from us now. Europe was already dependent on us after blowing up Nordstream2.
In a month with the blockade US oil production and export will continue to climb and the US economy will flood with dollars from China.
And China will fall. Their economy cannot withstand 80$ a barrel oil. It can only sustain on bargain oil from Russia/Iran/Venezuela.
I love watching the globalist shitweasels lose their shit. Thank god we finally got a president that wasn't a fucking traitor or pussy.

Why not?
We can pay for the carrier groups with the money China is paying us to buy our oil.
Besides we have a nuclear powered navy. We aren't stuck with a diesel navy like china who can only run their navy if we sell them oil.
A cynical person might think that Trump has enough on-the-ground intelligence to understand that internal communications between the IRGC, the mullahs, and the Parliament are fractured because of the staff reductions across the board.
Now under-briefed former underlings are doing the leading, looking over their shoulders and diving under the desk every time they hear something flying overhead.
So maybe when Trump makes announcements like this one, it results in a series of 'WTF ???' moments across the leadership, resulting in assertions of authority and angry challenges to same, over who exactly is doing the negotiating, here. Let them duke it out to settle 'Who's in Charge?'. Divide and conquer.
Meanwhile I see 3 more Basij leaders met their demise in the street. They look younger than the ones announced before.
RCO
I grew up in a largely Jewish environment, for which I am eternally grateful.
People like you are despicable and pitiful. Your resentment and hate has poisoned your mind. You serve your hatred and nothing else. It’s very sad.
"Why not?

Achilles plans to tax US oil companies so much it will pay for carrier groups. Gimme a break. what a fool.
and insert microchips into your brain?
It appears they already did.

3 Carrier Groups ~$8.1 Billion Annually
Total Tax Revenue (The Base Numbers)
Under normal conditions, the US generates roughly $75–$80 billion annually from direct motor fuel taxes.
Let me know when you want to try again retard.
"Three carrier groups can't stay there forever.
Why not?"
1: Of our 11 groups only 3 to 5 are deployed globally due to maintaince and resupply. Hormuz is not the only place they are needed. South China Sea and Gulf of America region come to mind.
2: I've brought this up before, but the reason our adversaries are willing to wait us out is the huge difference in our foreign policy depending on the party in power. Trump has China by the balls for now, but put a Dem in the Presidency and the shift will be 180. Also the reason France etal are willing to tell us to shove it imo.
> turn off NPR for a day
For a day? Why not forever?
4 more Cruise ships leaving the Strait of Hormuz today including the MSC Eurabia.
"Under normal conditions, the US generates roughly $75–$80 billion annually from direct motor fuel taxes."
So you are going to take all the gas tax money and channel it somewhere other than where it currently goes?
You want to halt all Fed supported road projects? Yeah, let's degrade our infrastructure because Trump chose to go to war?
I bet the road builders will love your solution.
Mark said, "So you are going to take all the gas tax money and channel it somewhere other than where it currently goes?"
You mean like being currently used for pet political projects that have nothing to do with infrastructure? Like homelessness and bridges to nowhere.
Iran’s Military Says Strait Is Closed Again, Prompting Ships to Turn Back ~ WSJ
'Tehran says Donald Trump ‘raised seven claims in one hour and all seven were false’ 'Iran fired on tanker near Oman, U.K. authority reports, as confusion reigns in the waterway'
We all know Trump is a serial liar and just makes stuff up, but this level of blatant lying is next level.
The worst possible tactic when negotiating with a regime like Iran is to publicly humiliate or 'dunk' on them during the talks. Any experienced diplomat knows this. Yet we have Mr. 'Art of the Deal' himself, who apparently needs to keep feeding his base and the markets a steady stream of BS.
Let’s just call them Stock Market Negotiations at this point.
Until Obama we used to have 15 aircraft carriers.
