Make no mistake about it, Trump will take this war to Iran.
The 110% tariffs on China and vice versa will absolutely destroy China's economy, so the money from China to Iran is going to dry up. Meanwhile it is 24/7 flights of Cargo planes from the US to the Middle East preparing for an invasion of Yemen. The B2 stealth bombers have been doing precision strikes on Yemen and Hegseth announces a $1 trillion dollar budget for the military. The US is all in on this war.
Granted, Trump's deadlines are confusing, but it should be very clear that he is not bluffing. He didn't bluff about the tariffs, and he would not be wasting all this money bluffing about an invasion. Also they have sent several very expensive and advanced air defence systems to Israel since Trump began this attack. They are clearly preparing for Iran to respond with hundreds of missiles raining down on Israel.
All the other nations have to know that if Trump wipes out Yemen and begins an attack on Iran that the US continues to have a tight control of the Middle East and the oil exports, and therefore they had better all get in line, buy US treasuries and balance the trade with the US.
I agree with him on the assessment of the talks with Iran. Whenever the US had talks with Russia we first sent our advisors to hash out deals, so this isn't a "talk" it is Trump telling Iran they can't have nukes.
