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.

Some carrot after the stick.
Yeah, but Rattler isn’t irritated about the whole unethical, wasteful, and inefficient attack. He’s perturbed that we didn’t go even more “all in” on this giant crap-sandwich of an idea.
Agree.
This is a TDS thread
“Prolly Iranians crowds at power plants and bridges rattled Team Trump”
Yes, people, I see and read it a lot. Many believe (not to be confused with think) that Trump and team are surprised by the Iranians.
It is not Trump and his military team, who have been in and out of the Middle East for four decades, some of them living there for months, more, speaking the local language, who are living in the past.
It is commentators who pretend the mid east is new to these brilliant, educated, experienced men. Who, btw, actually plan these operations
They have not been rattled by anything the Iranians have done, planned, thought of, reacted to or said in the past month.
Not even a story there
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard will be now making a Million a Ship going thru the Straits .
Is that the BIG MONEY Trump is celebrating here ?
I am not happy or impressed by this news .
Trump forever the salesman.
ABC.
Always be closing.
In this case I’m a little fuzzy on what he is selling and who he is selling it to.
But I support him a 100%, particularly on the closing part because I’ve been ready to move on to the next deal for quite a while.
You don’t matter
Not TDS but rather CDS.
Conservative Derangement Syndrome.
President Trump has implemented change in the weeks old war.
Purist conservatives can’t tolerate change
Not likely. It’s still basically the same old 1979 Iranian government.
Whatever a purist Conservative is, this is TDS.
“I agree, but there is no hope that people who are demonically possessed can be bargained with. They have to be constantly watched over like a recalcitrant adversary because if you turn your back on them they will cheat, lie, steal, blackmail, and try to kill you, which is their overriding Allah mandated objective.”
Unfortunately I have to agree with you. This is actually a civilizational war Like the one We fought against Japan in World War Two and that Cortez fought against the Aztecs in the early 16th century. In both cases the at least mostly “good guys” prevailed, along with the total flipping or destruction of the other side. We defeated Japan because the emperor, whom the Japanese regarded as a God, came to realize Japanese civilization would be obliterated if the war didn’t end, so he ended it. Cortez’s solution to the Aztec problem was to obliterate their religion and supplant it with Roman Catholicism. The Iranians have shown the same tenacity as the Imperial Japanese and the Aztecs, a tenacity that requires something close to a civilizational obliteration.
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!

When we deal with evil, people of good will are unable to grasp its persistent dark depths. This truth has proven itself throughout history. Today we deal with evil having arrived at our doorstep with the ballistic nuclear threat brought to us by the world’s perennial nemesis - Islam. As it was with the Crusades, Islam had to knock at the Vatican’s doors before the Western world woke up and finally addressed the threat. As much as things seem to change, evil’s threat to mankind remains constant. This time around, the Islamic evil, like a cancer has metastasized throughout the world, suggests we have been lallygagging much too long and now we find evil Islam knocking on our domestic doorstep.
You’ll never convince anyone with half a brain that this was ever a “civilizational war” when we’ve had that dopey clown Jared Kushner serving as the President’s envoy in negotiations with Iran even while he’s been cutting deals with Islamic royal family leaders in Sunni kingdoms all over the Middle East.
Too good to be true. Delushional.
TERMS ALREADY BROKEN BY IRAN.
Big money will be made...by Iran.
