    Pure market manipulation.

    Trump / Rubio : we’re close to a deal. It’s pretty much done.

    Iran: we’re not close and Trump is just saying otherwise to manipulate the media.

    Media: Deal is close but doubts linger.

    It is interesting that I believe the Iranian news over the US regime.

        It’s actually quite bizar that a lot of us went from ‘the US says so, so it must be true’ to ‘the US says so, so it must be a lie’, within a year.

            I stopped paying attention after George said it was all good in front of that Mission Accomplished banner. I assume the parades for the liberators were amazing though.

      I’m dumb so apologies but, what’s the manipulation? Stock markets have been closed all weekend including Memorial Day. How does re-igniting the war ~12 hours before it opens affect it?
