Iran is stopping message exchanges with U.S., may block Hormuz, Tasnim news agency says

Source: Reuters

DUBAI, June 1 (Reuters) - Iran's Tasnim news agency said on Monday that Tehran's negotiating team is stopping exchanges of messages with the United States through mediators due to attacks on Lebanon, as diplomatic ‌efforts to end the three-month-old Iran war continue.
The agency said Iran and the Resistance Front, which includes its Shiite allies in Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq, have set an agenda to completely block the Strait of Hormuz and activate other fronts, including the Bab El Mandeb Strait, in ⁠order to "punish" Israel and its supporters.

Give it a few days. Trump will cash in the gains, take a short position, and declare peace.

President Donald Trump on Monday shrugged off the possible collapse of peace negotiations with Iran, telling CNBC, “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly.”

“I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less,” Trump told CNBC’s Eamon Javers in a phone interview when asked about reporting that Iranian negotiators will stop communications with the U.S. due to Israel’s military operations in Lebanon.

Trump told CNBC that he was “going to ask” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “what’s going on with Lebanon.”

He also said he wasn’t worried about oil prices, which spiked following the report in Iranian state media that Tehran is vowing to “completely block” the Strait of Hormuz in addition to halting negotiations.

He should take his stank ass out of the W.H.

We need a leader, not an apathetic ball of lard

Our National Security and the stability of the M.E. should very much be his concern

If he fucking knew what he was doing

A "deal" would be to accept Iran didn't loose and inflicted significant damage on the US Military presence in the Gulf and that we need the straight open more than they do.
