MAJOR BREAKING: Trump has just struck Iran’s Qeshm Port and Bandar Abbas according to FOX News.

Qeshm is at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, and any attack is a dramatic escalation in the war.

Just this morning Trump was claiming they were very close to a deal. This crap happens every week. They are manipulating the markets.

Not to prepare--just to give my precious pup a kiss and make a few last phone calls.

I am just beyond sick of being jerked left and right by this moron and his warmongering, so in the words of the late Doris Day: Que sera sera (Whatever will be will be).

[FalloutShelter]

21. I'm with you.

Right down to my dog and a couple of goodbyes.

When I was a little young lad I thought Doris Day was the most beautiful woman in the world when I saw her in the black and white TV.

Singing that song...
Thank you for the journey back to those younger days.

3. Iran claims it was UAE/USA

From Jerusalem Post:
Airstrikes on Iran, Strait of Hormuz may have been joint US-UAE operation - report

Iranian media claimed that the US carried out "hostile action," while a Fox News reporter said on X/Twitter that the US carried out strikes on Bandar Abbas and Qeshm, citing a senior US official.

[mwmisses4289]

42. Well, Iran did attack the UAE a few days ago,

and the UAE did say they were going to retaliate.

[ananda]

43. And more before that.

Iran went after all the ME Trump allies.

Smart.

4. Iran targets three US destroyers near strait of Hormuz, Iranian media reports

Three US Navy destroyers near the strait of Hormuz have been targeted by the Iranian navy, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reports.

It comes after an earlier report from Iran’s state broadcaster that “enemy units” operating in the area of the strait came under Iranian missile fire, following an attack by the US military on an Iranian oil tanker, forcing the units to retreat.

It follows a US jet disabling an Iranian oil tanker on Wednesday after it attempted to evade the US blockade.

Not that this reporting is trustworthy.

Can’t he just die?

6. Actually I don't trust fake news, the current US administration and Iran.................

all are creating chaos, but unfortunately people are being killed.

7. No independent confirmation seems odd.

I'm just seeing other sources citing the FOX tweet

10. US destroyers targeted by Iranian Navy??

Didn't the Orange Fascist say that Iran does not have a Navy any more because the US destroyed it?

[Wiz Imp]

12. How can that be? "Every Ship Is Blown To Pieces": Trump Says Iran Navy Is Gone

[AverageOldGuy]

19. Translation:

"We sank a couple of rowboats and a canoe and killed 36 little children in the boats."

[BootinUp]

41. I'm sure there were some big splashes too. Nt

[EX500rider]

44. They probably should have said Navy within quotes

Since all Iran's Navies major surface vessels have been sunk but they do have a lot of speed boats left

[wnylib]

48. They must be pretty effective "speed boats" to damage 3 US destroyers.

[EX500rider]

49. Who said the destroyers received any damage?

[wnylib]

51. Iran says they inflicted some damage to the US ships.

Of course Trump says there was no damage to the destroyers. Neither one is reliable.

US says it has targeted Iranian military facilities after responding to attacks on navy ships - BBC News https://share.google/GmOIHkpD4vcHdpWZ6

[EX500rider]

53. Us Central Command said they were un-damaged I trust them

You can't hide damage to ships they have to go to port to get fixed the whole crew knows it was damaged the word gets out

[Wiz Imp]

14. Didn't Rubio just say yesterday that the war was over?

Yep. He did.
https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/05/world/live-news/iran-war-news

Day 67 of Middle East conflict - Marco Rubio says Operation Epic Fury in Iran ‘is over’
Status of the war: The US will pause “Project Freedom,” the effort aimed at guiding commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said. The announcement came just hours after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the combat operation against Iran has ended and the US would instead focus on Project Freedom.

• Iranian FM in China: Iran’s top diplomat is in Beijing for talks “on regional and international developments” with his Chinese counterpart. It is the first time the foreign ministers of the two allies have met face-to-face since the war began.

• Economic impact: Demand for oil is falling at the fastest rate seen outside the Covid pandemic, as businesses and consumers cut consumption. Global oil stockpiles have also seen their sharpest decline since the Covid-19 pandemic. US gas prices have increased by 50% since the start of the war.

[OGBuzz]

27. Rubio looked about as presidential as Trump at that press conference.

Good luck in 2028 Lil' Marco, you'll need it and probably some divine intervention too.

[Skittles]

39. right??

Marco increasingly looks like he is very ashamed of his role in whoring for Trump, not because it hurts America but because he sees his presidential chances dwindling. FUCKER!

[BeneteauBum]

15. And the lunacy continues

The end of this farce will be a long time coming. In the meantime, we foot the warmongering bills.

Peace ☮️

[Wednesdays]

16. So, how are those peace negotiations going?

[Attilatheblond]

36. Seems the criminal at the Resolute Desk is gonna keep escalating in hopes things get so bad Europe will jump in

Slowest learner in the USA.

[AverageOldGuy]

17. Probably aimed at any Iranian naval ships, boats, missiles at this port

By the way -- a day or two ago I posted an item sourced to Fox and I received an email from a person who said they are not a DU monitor, but DU does not permit citing Fox as a source. I ignored the message and did not reply.

[RoseTrellis]

50. Look at google earth

Appears to be just fishing boats there, according to the imagery

[Joinfortmill]

20. Jeezus! Impeach this menace.

[AverageOldGuy]

22. Washington Post few minutes ago

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/05/07/us-strikes-iran-ceasefire/

U.S. forces on Thursday launched a new round of military strikes on Iran in response to attacks on American warships, officials said, casting fresh doubt on efforts by Washington and Tehran to reach a negotiated settlement that would end hostilities.

The “self-defense strikes” came after the destroyers USS Truxton, USS Rafael Peralta and USS Mason were attacked with “multiple missiles, drones and small boats,” U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said in a statement.

No American vessels were hit, and U.S. forces responded by striking Iranian military facilities deemed responsible, officials said in the statement.

“Centcom does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces,” the statement said.

23. Not to worry. Somebody made a couple'a hundred million on a front-run oil and stock trade.

AND --- will make a couple'a hundred million more when Anal Fistula announces that peace is imminent.

[maxsolomon]

24. Qeshm and Bandar Abbas are not oil-exporting ports

They don't appear to be military either. Qeshm looks like a ferry terminal.

I wonder if Iran is using fishing boats to launch attacks...

[paleotn]

25. Translation.....

Iran said fuck you to the latest "peace proposal." If there ever was one.

[WSHazel]

26. Trump is obviously short stocks and long oil now

Time to play this trade for a few days before declaring peace again.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. This manipulation echoes in gold and silver too! /nt

[LoisB]

29. That psychotic sob is determined to start WWIII.

[Attilatheblond]

37. He knows his time is short, intends to take us all with him

If he was a rabid dog....

[LoisB]

47. I believe that.

[Scrivener7]

32. God damn it.

[ToxMarz]

35. Why do the markets react to his social media posts

Used to be they would react when they saw verifiable quantifiable results. The markets are acting corruptly too, especially with the known track record of what they are reacting too. A social media post from the President might make them tick down slightly or stabilize until they had more evidence to rely on, but not these major swings.

[harumph]

52. Bigger fool theory.

My thoughts on that -
There will be lots of fools in the market and they are a force to be contended with and fleeced. Hence, if I know when a fool jumps money falls from his pocket, I may be inclined to be in proximity to the fool when he jumps - grab his money - and make my getaway.

Smart money induces dumb money to take risks. It's why multi-level marketing schemes are successful.

Trump's social posts provide the enticement. Smart $ knows stupid money will react. Smart $ is in first and out first leaving the suckers holding the bag.

If most people learned not to throw their money away, carnies could never make a living.

[canetoad]

38. I hope Mike Johnson realizes

That his name with be poison forever; he could stop this and he hasn't.

[kentuck]

40. Was it an illegal order?

How could it not be? It is an illegal war.

[EX500rider]

45. When US Naval vessels are escorting vessels in international waters

And are fired upon from Iranian military units, of course they're going to strike back

[SamuelTheThird]

46. Iran is attacking UAE again
