Attacks on three locations across Iran came after three tankers in the strait of Hormuz were targeted on Tuesday

The US military carried out strikes on Iran for a second day, hours after Donald Trump said that an interim agreement to end the war was “over”.

Late on Wednesday Iranian state media reported explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas in the strait of Hormuz; in Sirik, another southern coastal city; and the south-western Bushehr province, home to Iran’s nuclear-power-plant complex.

Trump wrote on Truth Social: “This is in retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse!”

    This fucking idiot couldn’t even make a deal to trade lunches with a child… Not even with a Lunchables and a kool-aid squeeze versus warm tuna.

    First the war was over.

    Now the agreement is over.

    Important daily updates from Trump on what is or is not over.

        The neat thing is China is over Trump and now Iran is too while Ukraine is as well.

        Republicans wanted chaos and that is what they are going to get. Gas prices and egg prices be damned.

    I can’t see how anyone can negotiate with this man when he seems to go back on his agreements in less than a week.

      A week? He broke the first fucking part of the MOU less than a day later threatening Iran over something.

    The US never intended to keep its end of the deal anyway and never did. Its not really a surprise to find American aggression continues.

    Did we pay them the 300 billion dollars before this happened? Is this a ‘war’ now and not a ‘conflict’? jfc

      No, the 300b was promised but not yet delivered. The US did remove sanctions on Iranian oil though so they will have made a buck on that + whatever “fees” they managed to extract from ships wanting to transit.

    And the rest of the world said “No shit Sherlock. We knew from the outset this was folly.”

      The initial announcement was made to coincide with his big dumb brawl on the front lawn. He wanted to announce a peace plan, and got a Memorandum of Understanding, which is basically an agreement to start talking. I’m not even sure that Iran had agreed to anything at all. The entire thing was destined to fail from the beginning.

      But it served its purpose. He got a rationalization to have his big celebration (so he wasn’t just having a big party during a war), and it eased gas prices a little for a minute, but we always knew we’d be back here.
