Cornered, Trump makes an announcement to calm the markets, but the war goes on and the strait remains closed.

Nothing has changed in the war. Trump is backed into a corner by the market, with few interceptors left, American bases being bombed, and Israel under intense bombardment.

Although Israel has been successful in suppressing footage of the strikes, the number of hospitalized victims gives us an idea of the scale of these attacks: 2,000 people hospitalized in Israel, a figure very similar to that of Iran, which is being devastated by bombs.

President Trump called President Putin, likely seeking mediation with Iran, but was rebuffed by the Iranian regime, as hours later he threatened much, much, much worse bombings if the strait was not opened.

Trump is behaving like a spoiled loser child and tomorrow will face renewed pressure from the markets, which are starting to realize he has no power over the situation.

Tonight, attacks on Tehran continue, and Iran is retaliating with more missiles against Israel.

Also this morning, refueling aircraft and others departed from Saudi Arabian airports, in a clear Iranian victory following several days of bombing that included Saudi oil facilities.

Despite the Iranian bombardment against Gulf countries, US troops maintained attacks on Iran from these territories, causing damage to the infrastructure of those nations.

The US-Israel coalition is at a loss. As they continue the bombings, they see no sign of Iran yielding; on the contrary, Iran has been destroying radars and opening a corridor for more efficient missile strikes against Israel.

It seems the war will endure for some time, and the strait will remain closed
