Ceasefire is hanging on by a thread, according to CNN right now. [View all]

Iran says the strait remains closed. Trump says the 10 point plan is a good starting point for negotiations, but the state dept. previously said that was thrown in the garbage. There is confusion over Hormuz, Lebanon, and uranium according to CNN.

Chaos continues to reign and we are worse off than before trump started this war of choice. If he wants to use this as a pretext to pull out of Iran, I would be okay with that. But that means no 200 billion extra funding. No cuts to social services to pay for it. And I reserve my right to criticize the entire debacle to my heart's content.
