Trump declares Iran cease-fire deal could lead to ‘Golden Age of the Middle East,’ boasts ‘big money will be made’
NY Post ^ | 4/08/26 | Victor Nava, Chris Bradford

President Trump expressed optimism Wednesday that the Iran war cease-fire agreement will usher in a “Golden Age” in the Middle East.

“A big day for World Peace!” Trump wrote on Truth Social following the two-week cease-fire announcement. “Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else!”

The commander in chief said the US “will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz” and “loading up with supplies of all kinds, just ‘hangin’ around’ in order to make sure that everything goes well.”

Trump indicated he felt “confident” the reopening of the key waterway, through which 20% of the world’s oil passes daily, would go well.

“There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process,” he said. “Just like we are experiencing in the US, this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!!”

Trump branded Operation Epic Fury a “total and complete victory” — more than a month after the first US strikes in a joint operation alongside Israeli forces on Feb. 28.

“100 percent,” he told Agence France Presse. “No question about it.”

Trump didn’t rule out strikes on power plants if the ceasefire collapsed.

“You’re going to have to see,” he said when probed.

It’s nothing short of complete capitulation. Iran is still saying they won’t hand over enriched uranium.

Kinda hard to do that, isn’t it, if it’s buried under tons of rubble...

If they start digging for it, we’ll know.

So how is agreeing to "negotiate" on the starting basis of the IRGC's "10-point plan" a win for the U.S.?

What happened to "keep protesting," "help is on the way," "stay indoors," "not yet," and "unconditional surrender?"

And why is Trump allowing the IRGC to turn the Persian Gulf into a toll road to "make big money?"

Any why would anybody want to allow the IRGC to use that "big money" to rebuild their military and nuclear facilities we have destroyed?

TACO Tuesday.

Yep. The goal, hatched in the brain of the devilish Mohammed 1,400 years ago, is to wipe out every Jew and Christian in the world, and that goal remains paramount today. A victory? Reconstruction of Iran? Lofs of money to be made! How out of touch can a president be?!
God help us all!

After three postponements, Iran still did not agree to zero uranium enrichment. And they still do not agree to zero enrichment and missile reductions yet they get another extension....for two weeks. Doing the same thing and expecting different results...

The Kharg island region can become a hot vacation destination. A new Riviera. Same as the Gaza Mediterranean shoreline.

<< Prolly Iranian crowds at power plants and bridges rattled Team Trump. >>

Yes, and that could’ve easily been avoided by …not announcing our intentions..

The mullahs aren’t our only enemy.

President Trump is fighting a war on many fronts.

And God sent us the right man to do it.

Uggg. Now, I want something else to criticize Trump for doing/not doing. Boo hoo. Oh well, this isn’t over yet. So, we can keep it up. At least there is that line of attack against him. We all know better than Trump. “Trump’s an idiot, and the Mullahs are our friends”, Tucker said, so it has to be true cause Tucker and Massie know all the right truth.
