I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com website.

Donald Trump is having a catastrophic Monday morning. His attempt at trying to manipulate the markets by claiming that once again, the United States is about to have a deal with Iran has instantly backfired in his face. The Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson coming out with a statement saying, do not listen to Donald Trump. We are in no negotiations with the United States. The only group of people Iran speaking to right now is Oman over Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. The United States is flailing Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson is saying. Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, you have three refineries that have been struck by the Houthis in the past 24 hours. Another major strike by the Houthis.
Ben Meiselas 1:49
And what the Houthis of Yemen, who are allied with Iran, are focused on are disabling the route of pipelines to do an end run around the Strait of Hormuz. And so to be clear what's going on right now, Iran has a stranglehold over the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis have a stranglehold over the Bab el-Mandab Strait, enforcing essentially a full blockade on Saudi tankers, and other tankers that they believe are their enemy. And at the same time right now, disabling the pipelines that do the end run around the Strait of Hormuz. So as you know, the United States ran out of its precision munitions, ran out of its interceptors. So Donald Trump was forced to basically beg for a ceasefire. Donald Trump was posting all those deranged AI images last night like, we won, we beat Iran, we're invading Karg Island.
Ben Meiselas 2:46
I mean, all that deranged stuff I showed you this morning. Then Donald Trump this morning called up Israeli's News Channel 12. That's like Donald Trump's go-to news source right now. He calls up Israeli media and he starts saying things like, we're not going to give Iran that much time. They're begging for a deal. All the usual stuff that you're used to him saying. I'll just say exactly what he said. Trump to Channel 12. That's an Israeli news channel. The mediating countries asked me not to launch the military operations. I believe the Iranians want to reach a deal, but the room to get a deal is very short. We are in deep talks, strong talks, very powerful talks, Donald Trump says, with Iran now. And the mediators told me, give diplomacy a chance, but I don't have much time.
Ben Meiselas 3:33
We will do very powerful strikes if they don't agree to a deal. if they don't agree to my deal. There's nothing to gain and nothing to lose about doing these discussions. I'm ready for strong, powerful military action if talks with Iran fail." That's what Donald Trump's saying. The Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson says, don't pay attention to him. Don't pay attention to Trump's statements to the media. We have no negotiations with the United States. The negotiations we are having, which may sometimes be subject to different interpretations, are the ones we are holding with Oman, focusing on making necessary arrangements regarding the Strait of Hormuz. We will never allow the United States to open up its own route in the Strait of Hormuz.
Ben Meiselas 4:17
We control it. We'll never give it up. We'll die until we're forced to give it up. Ain't happening. uh he goes on to say i don't know how you think the united states is managing the war a war that was supposed to lead to iran's collapse our collapse within three days forcing iran to surrender and yet now after five months the united states is stuck in a quagmire of their own making iran's foreign ministry spokesperson says this is not war management
