[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Donald Trump has canceled the planned trip to Pakistan by envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff for peace talks with Iran, Fox News reported on Saturday.

The network said Trump told Fox about the trip’s cancellation, quoting him as saying: “We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you’re not going to be making any more 18-hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.”

WTH just happened??[/quote]

the iranians canceled it, as I posted several hours ago upthread. This is just trump saving face. He has no cards, and they are humiliating him.[/quote]
I’m not defending this war, but it seems odd to say that Iran holds all the cards.  Aren’t their oil exports essentially stopped from the US naval blockade?  That has to be devastating to their economy.[/quote]

Iran's cards are they control the price of energy and food for most of the planet. Pretty big card.

And at least 34 Iranian tankers got through our "blockade" over the past 48 hours. That's billions in revenue for Iran.

Where is the win for the United States? [/quote]
