Coincidentally, five days from today is No Kings. Anything to keep Epstein out of the news.

Donald Trump has extended by five days his deadline to “hit and obliterate” Iran’s power stations and energy infrastructure if Tehran does not allow shipping to move freely through the strait of Hormuz, claiming that the US and Iran have held “very good and productive conversations” on an end to the three-week-old war.

There was no immediate official reaction from Tehran to Trump’s announcement, which was made in a post on Truth Social and appeared to avert a potentially massive escalation of the conflict, at least for now.

The Fars news agency, which is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, denied any talks, saying there were neither direct nor indirect communications with the US, and the state-owned IRNA newspaper reported that Iran’s foreign ministry said no negotiations had taken place with the US.

Why can't people see this is pure market manipulation, oil prices dropped $10 on the news, some rich people got a lot richer and later today or tomorrow Trump will change his tune again.
