So the ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without agreement but that's okay because last night Trump said a ceasefire agreement wasn't necessary as America won.

Meanwhile in the real world the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to all tankers 'cept Chinese ones and the Ayatollahs still have their enriched uranium.

USA will take over the security, do it cheaper than $1 a barrel.

Will be a nice earner, or could even double it to $2 and force the region to get it's own security organised.

Should also be taking as much oil from Iran as is needed to cover expenses.

On an unrelated matter, it is tragic and deeply regrettable that so many children have been killed as a result of actions linked to Iran's regime. Iran has long been designated as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. It has provided funding, weapons, and direction to proxy groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and others that have, over decades, intentionally targeted civilians — including thousands of children — in attacks that were not mere collateral damage but part of a deliberate strategy. Whatever one's view on the current strikes in Iran, the human cost on all sides is horrific. Focusing on protecting children everywhere, rather than selective outrage, would be a more consistent and humane approach.

I don't think anyone disagrees with that busyfool, despite the whingeing on here from some. We all know Iran aren't the good guys. There are two problems though. Iran aren't the only bad guys, and how you go about removing them. There's a reason every other president has quickly dismissed Bibi when he comes up with his "ooh, they're 2 minutes from getting a nuclear bomb" nonsense. Firstly, it's nonsense and secondly this is what happens if you do try to take them on properly.

The big shame is there were proper protests and the regime was showing cracks at the start of the year. A smarter America would have been more subtle in engaging actors within those protests, promoting the shah as a reasonable replacement etc and, essentially help Iran to sort themselves out. But that wouldn't feed Bibi's bloodlust.

Now we've wiped out all the replacements America wanted to deal with. They left a vacuum and the military have stepped in and they're in no mood whatsoever to acquiesce. You've replaced loons with ultra-loons.

No-one serious in the west has properly realised the mess it's made for itself. It'll come soon when we realise the fuel and food shortages on our doorstep. At that point, the only resolution I can see is a proper old-fashioned tail-between-their-legs withdrawal from America, that'll make Vietnam look dignified and will leave the Middle East in a far bigger mess than it was in before they started their adventure.

The Azzurri haven't qualified for the World Cup since 2014 but the Financial Times have reported that US special envoy Paolo Zampolli is seeking to have them parachuted in, with Iran being removed.

The plan is an effort to repair ties between Trump and Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after the two fell out amid the American president's attacks against Pope Leo XIV over the Iran war, the FT reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

"I confirm I have suggested to Trump and [FIFA president Gianni] Infantino that Italy replace Iran at the World Cup," Zampolli said.

"I'm an Italian native and it would be a dream to see the Azzurri at a US-hosted tournament. With four titles, they have the pedigree to justify inclusion,"

Some of the comments on here have gotten pretty raw in the past and they've gone on sprees, and they're obviously keeping a very tight lid on things now. At the end of it's a huge brand on the FTSE 100, and they (probably rightly) don't want to see their logo at the top of a page and a load of d!ckheads arguing about muslims underneath.
