Headline from the Trump regime's stenographers at Axios, quoting an unnamed official of course, published yesterday evening in advance of today's stock market opening:
"U.S. and Iran agree to halt strikes and meet this week, U.S. official says"
As expected, stock futures jumped on the unnamed official's statement. There is a consistent pattern of manipulation right before the stock market opens each week in order to keep oil prices from spiking and the lying and incompetent Malignant Fascist's poll numbers from dropping further. That's usually after the MF makes an unhinged threat after markets close for the weekend. Rinse and repeat.
Meanwhile, Reuters reports that Iran says the "technical talks" have been cancelled; Al Jazeera has same information, with Iran stating that it controls the Strait of Hormuz.
BONUS: Lebanon's speaker of their parliament says a peace treaty with Israel will not be implemented, outside of an agreement between Iran and the U.S. So the exchange of attacks between Israel and Hezbollah will resume, and Iran will take notice.
