    Didn’t we just bomb one of their big water supplies?

      We bombed a civilian water supply (pretty sure that’s a war crime, not that they’ll care), they’ve completely shut the Strait, Trump threatened a massive strike threatening to seize some oil/infrastructure - best guess was Kharg Island. Now that’s off, again - at least not until he gets his late night drug fix and riled up by Fox.

      Hunh. You know how he keeps flip-flopping on what he’s planning to do? I wonder if that’s because there are different news/opinion hosts on the weekends.

        Probably unrelated to the 2+% drop in stock markets when he hypes up an armageddon, or the 2+% rise when he calls it off.

        He’s keeping the market pumping for the SpaceX IPO. He’s go back to threatening them in after hours after the IPO…once his family and friends have cashed out.

      I think it’s related to trumps threat to seize Kharg Island and other Iran oil infrastructure. And on his TS post said “The U.S. military will attack Iran “VERY HARD” Thursday night”, this was after completing a round of airstrikes on Wednesday, including the water supplies.
