US President Donald Trump has just posted on Truth Social, warning: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again".

He goes on:

"I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?

"We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!"

Well it seems to be happening, we have been told our offices are closed and to stay home

Schools Universities and any business or institutions linked to the US closed
 
20 or so ballistic missiles intercepted overhead, didn't see any hit anything. Not sure we have any Patriots left but UK fighter planes circling to shoot them down, low flying jets all day

House shaking a fair bit around the same time Bayern scored

They are hammering Bahrain right now too

Sounds absolutely surreal, I've seen jet fighters at air shows and the noise is startling when it's first heard, to have that and missiles exploding must be terrifying. Best wishes you and your family stay safe...

Trump and Vance are claiming that all of the US's war objectives have been achieved. Hmm.

Where's the enriched uranium? Where's the regime change? Where's the 'complete surrender'?

The Strait of Hormuz is now open - as it was before the war started of course - but the Iranians are now charging ships to use it.

After a few of these last night, woke up to a 'ceasefire' of sorts with all parties claiming victory. Both sides still have maximalist positions so no idea how it will be resolved but Trump was desperate to escape this mess

Let's see, I was hoping to get back for the Derby match end of the month

Beirut being destroyed, I am being bombed again, Iran just closed the Strait again saying the US broke the ceasefire terms

Trump cannot control this at all, especially a cornered Netanyahu

By tomorrow we will be back to square one

And Trump has managed to get the price of oil down too.
So we can expect an immediate drop at the fuel pump of at least 10-15p …
oh wait … apparently it takes some time for that to happen!
Con artists everywhere. It seems our expectation of this rip off still allows it to happen
