ReplyDeleteGRA:Add this to tariff "pauses" and tic toc crappola. When he doesn't want to DO SOMETHING,he buys time--which is fine,but it becomes a joke.
(ZH)Of course, the biggest question that remains is: will the US directly enter the war against Iran?
White House quoting Trump: Amid speculation regarding negotiations with Iran, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next 2 weeks.
Leavitt: Trump thinks 'substantial chance' of Iran negotiations

WHOSE "FAULT" IS THIS?SHALLOW(MORE DAMAGING)5.2 EARTHQUAKE HITS JUST EAST OF TEHRAN,NO CONFIRMED REPORTS OF CASUALTIES OR DAMAGE
ReplyDelete(Interesting engineering com)A 5.2 magnitude earthquake jolted central Iran late Thursday, striking an area already on edge amid an intensifying conflict with Israel.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake hit at 9:19 pm local time, with the epicenter located about 23 miles (37 km) southwest of Semnan — roughly 210 km (130.5 miles) east of Tehran — at a shallow depth of six miles (10 km).
Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more surface damage, and even a magnitude 5 tremor can lead to significant destruction, especially in densely populated or poorly constructed areas. No confirmed reports of injuries or damage yet.
GRA:A very tempermental area of terra firma,noted for massive quakes--even absent incoming missiles. More things to worry about for Tehran's racetrack employees, ahead of Saturday's rescheduled racing.
