Trump Says Iran Deal Is Largely Negotiated. Groundhog Day in the Strait of Hormuz

Sunday, May 24, 2026 at 8:37 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Cartoon mocking Trump saying Iran deal is largely negotiated

Of course Netanyahu is pulling what little remains of his hair out. Because, despite all their bombing and bluster, the US and Israel haven’t achieved any of their goals. After all, Iran will emerge stronger than ever … acting like a superpower on the world stage, with its control of the Strait of Hormuz, uranium, missiles, and proxies all still intact.

iPINIONS suggests you can hear Iago Netanyahu exclaiming that he can’t believe Othello Trump could be this stupid, overlooking the fact that the war began only because Trump was the first US president stupid enough to buy his pitch to launch it.
