No apocalypse. Instead an eleventh hour ceasefire between Iran and the United States, one that’s still being tested, two sides that are both claiming victory, and five and-a-half weeks of a war that may change the way the rest of the world looks at both Iran and the United States.
Meanwhile, no ceasefire in Beirut where Israel’s hit the capital with its hardest strikes yet across multiple densely populated areas. Dozens feared dead in Beirut. Will Washington tell Israel to stop its operation against Hezbollah? Then there’s the Gulf where even if the guns stay silent, it’ll take weeks, months, more to restore oil output to what it was. Finally, there’s the ratcheting up of biblical threats.
Faced with a regime where the soldiers and no longer the clerics for now rule, Donald Trump and his White House issuing the kind of doomsday threats that are usually the reserve of radical theocracies or rogue nuclear states. Will the world remember that threat to erase "an entire civilization" even if it never comes true?
