After U.S.

– we were joking about pronunciations a moment ago for those that haven't been watching.

President threatened attack on power plants before touting deal with Ayatollah.

Live updates.

This is huge news.

Earlier today, Donald Trump said after productive talks with the country of Iran, he would be postponing these strikes on their energy facilities.

He gave it five days.

Five days.

Iran then comes out and goes, we didn't talk to this guy and we have no negotiations.

And I guess Trump did not address this.

A lot of speculation was that on the pro-Trump side, they're saying Trump's negotiating with rival forces to the IRGC.

The productive talks were that we're trying to get someone else to take over.

I think that's wishful thinking.

I think the truth is Donald Trump likely concerned about market movements.

And oil prices wants to put out a message of confidence that we are going to be winding these things down.

He keeps saying we're contemplating winding down, despite the fact all indications are we are deploying troops into the region.

Now, Iran then fires missiles at Israel, seemingly to prove they have no interest in de-escalation or peace talks.

So this flies in the face of what Trump is saying.

I can certainly envision a scenario where Trump did communicate with them.

They did agree to open the Strait of Hormuz and calm things down and then came out and lied about it to make Trump look weak and stupid.
