Your Iran Israel Lebanon Clusterfuque Update! -- Gary Legum

https://www.wonkette.com/p/your-iran-israel-lebanon-clusterfuque

Here is a status check on America's stupid and useless war on Iran: The Strait of Hormuz is still closed, the smooth-brained homunculus in the Oval Office is mad because Iran still plans on charging ships $2 million per to transit the strait, Israel is still bombing Lebanon, the Gulf states are worried Iran will emerge from the war stronger and more aggressive than before, gas prices have gone nuts, helping inflation rise to the highest levels in two years even as we haven't even felt the full effect of the oil market disruption yet, and the rest of the planet is still pissed off at the United States for sucking.

Clearly, it is time to send in the big guns to negotiate an end to this conflict before events spin even further out of control! Unfortunately, Donald Trump is sending JD Vance, so we're all fucked.
