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.

That being said, the next big component of the story is that reportedly Iran fired ICBMs at Diego Garcia, a U.S.

airbase.

I believe it's what, like 2,000 kilometers away or something?

Outside the range of what is believed to be Iran's missile capability, indicating that Iran has the ability to hit Central Europe with ICBMs.

And if they get nuclear weapons, you are now dealing with an enemy, with an adversary that is nuclear armed, erratic and ideologically fundamentalist.

Now, a lot of people are saying they don't believe it.

Iran claimed that they never fired these missiles.

It was actually Israel doing a false flag attack.
