  • Trump Extends Ceasefire By 3-5 Days, Precisely Amount Of Time Needed For Third Carrier To Arrive

    From zerohedge.com

    We've been tracking the progress of the USS George HW Bush aircraft carrier as it makes its way to the US Central Command/Mideast area. Interestingly its arrival could correspond with the end of Trump's extended ceasefire by this weekend. Fox News is freshly reporting that the vessel, which will be the third carrier in waters near Iran, is expected to arrive in three to five days. "The USS Bush Aircraft Carrier is expected to arrive in the Middle East within five days," a Fox News reporter has said on X. It took the 'long way' around Africa in order to avoid the Red Sea, and thus the potential for coming under ... (full story)

As of April 20, according to Lloyds List (which is an authoritative publication on the shipping industry), Iran had managed to get 26 vessels through the blockade. Maybe an additional carrier group will prevent more evasion. But so far, I don't think the Iranians have been suffering quite as much as Trump would have us believe.

Donald Trump could clear them Straits of Vermouth with just a 3 wood and a good caddy. 2 weeks, tops.

Iran should not and must not sit with these craps, pedophils, war criminals (Trump, USA/Israel) but must continue to hammer and destroy them. Their ceasefire was only to get ready for new attack and preperation of new weapons.

That IS generally what ceasefires are all about, (stock up and reload) even if it’s an open secret only.
Particularly open, but no longer a secret, since Iran said they have used the ceasefire to open a new can of weaponed beans to throw at US and Israel.

In response to article supplied by Riziq-cap and why I don't trade the 'news'.
The article contains a mixture of FACTS and MISTRUTHS mixed together.

The USA navy is sailing from Namibia to the Straight of Hormuz (Fact)
Tyler Durden is a pseudonym used by many reporters. (Fact)
Namibia is next to South Africa. (Fact)
The long route to the gulf is sailing around Africa (Misleading). It is true if you sail around the top of Africa and go though the the Suez canal and through the Bab el-mandab straight. Which the article claims is being avaoided.
If it is avoiding the Bab el-mandab straight / Suez canal, it is taking the SHORTEST route to get to Hormuz by sailing around the Horn or Africa (Fact). If you're not sure have a look at a world map.

Maybe I am not as gullable as some. I don't just automatically think, because it is an article by a reporter, therfore it must be true.
The old saying 'never let the facts get is the way of a good story' is a direct result of reporters twisting the facts to suit their own needs.

That is why I don't trade the news, I trade the charts.
The charts are ALWAYS CORRECT, the news less so, and it is becoming even less reliable, even though they are producing it in ever increasing quantities.

If you are going to trade the news, make sure you can distinguish fact from fiction.
UNSI News is reputable (Fact)

The article has used reputable sources to mis represent the facts.

The article used does not show who the article is being written for (news paper etc, source is important)

what 3 ships? 1. is parked in Croatia, incapable of fighting! 2. is in the Indian Ocean 1000 miles away, out of reach of Israel, with its tail between its legs!! and this 3rd one won't even make it there because the sailors will set it on fire again so it won't be sunk!! This is supposed to be the best navy in the world? Comedians, just like Ukraine!!

Trump: Iran talks ‘possible’ as soon as Friday - NYP

Trump: Iran talks ‘possible’ as soon as Friday - NYP Trump tells The Post second round of talks ‘possible’ as soon as Friday — as Iran scrambles to come up with ‘unified’ plan “Good news” about a second round of talks between the US and Iran may be coming as soon as Friday, President Trump and Pakistani sources told The Post on Wednesday. Sources in Islamabad touted positive mediation efforts with Tehran renewing the possibility of more peace talks within the next “36 to 72 hours.” Asked about this possible breakthrough by The Post, Trump in a text message said: “It’s possible! President DJT.” The incremental update comes a day after the US president announced he would extend the current cease-fire with Iran until its divided leadership can come up with “a unified proposal.” “I have … directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other,” he said in a post to Truth Social on Tuesday.
