Post Trump TACO whatever, the Iranians conducted it’s own response.
Donald Trump has publicly said at least 42 times since late March 2026 that the United States and Iran were close to reaching a deal.
42 times.
He lied every time, and he continues to lie to us.

Iran confirmed there would be no more negotiations with the US. Iranian forces hit several ships in the SOH.
Then the IRGC unloaded on Kuwait with inexpensive drones. Things look lit up and casualties are apparent even if not confirmed.

U.S. MQ-9 drone losses adding up.
🇺🇸 Trump keeps repeating every single day that he has completely destroyed Iran’s air-defense systems. 😂
🇮🇷 Today, Iran shot down another U.S. MQ-9 drone. 🔥
So far, Iran has shot down more than 50 U.S. MQ-9 drones using those same “destroyed” air-defense systems. 😂🔥 pic.twitter.com/XvRafurZ8M

This again redefines warfare in the current year. Air defense impaired, Iran can utilize drones for constant harassment. I think the missiles are being conserved for Israel and the U.S fleet.
Frozen assets is part of the equation. But US-Israeli air defense is depleted and Iran wants to decisively demonstrate how costly maintaining bases on it’s borders is becoming. The beatings will continue until the morale improves. pic.twitter.com/fGo5lYri9M

Iran addresses the broken “market” trading algos.
Jordan, I probably wouldn’t mess with Jordan. King Abdullah is the 2nd largest Land Owner in the World behind QEII before and now King Charles–He’s quite powerful. Thats one powerful fella. Not to be messed with. Biding his time, I reckon.
