The 60-day truce between U.S. and Iran didn't even make it to day sixty.
So much for peace in our time. The fragile cease-fire in the Middle East just evaporated overnight in a massive exchange of airstrikes, leaving Trump calling Iran's leaders "scum" and oil traders crying into their charts.
It was nice while it lasted, which was exactly a few weeks. The tentative truce between the U.S. and Iran went up in smoke after both sides traded hundreds of strikes overnight.
The trouble started in the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping is basically a real-life game of Battleship. After some commercial vessels got hit, the U.S. military decided to retaliate by pounding over eighty targets in southern Iran.
Naturally, Iran did not just sit there. They fired back, claiming to target dozens of U.S. military installations across Bahrain and Kuwait. While Kuwait spent the night shooting down drones and missiles, Iran's politicians are now demanding that everyone just accept their total control over the region's most critical oil transit route.
Meanwhile, Trump, speaking from a NATO meeting in Turkey, didn't hold back. He declared the cease-fire officially dead, called the Iranian regime "scum" and "liars," and compared them to a cancer that needs to be cut out. He also casually mentioned that he is probably at the top of their hit list, but hey, he's been lucky so far.
Buying an electric car is starting to look less like an environmental statement and more like a basic survival strategy.
