"I Have Bread That Lasted Longer Than Trump's Iran Ceasefire."

The ceasefire Trump called a once-in-a-generation peace deal is over. It lasted three weeks. Grant has bread on his counter that lasted longer.

Trump declared the ceasefire officially over while at a NATO summit in Turkey, a meeting that did not go well for the United States by any measure. He threatened to cut off trade with Spain over NATO spending. He claimed the US once owned Greenland and gave it back, which is not how that happened. He called Ukrainian President Zelensky "Putin" on camera. Then, minutes later, he accused Japan of firing missiles at US troops... he meant Iran.

He also left Turkey on the old Air Force One instead of the Qatari-gifted plane, which the Associated Press reports is not equipped with the same missile detection and countermeasure systems as the older jets. The transponder on Air Force One was also shut off near the Turkey-Iran border on the way in.

On Iran: the ceasefire ended after the US launched airstrikes inside Iran during the 10-day funeral of the Ayatollah, breaking a specific promise made to Iranian negotiators. Iran responded by firing missiles into Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. Israel used it as a green light to resume bombing in Lebanon. The Strait of Hormuz is closed again with 300-plus ships waiting. The US missile stockpile is still severely depleted and will take years to replenish.

Trump announced all of this on a Wednesday, not a Friday, so the markets couldn't recover before the weekend. Oil shot up. The stock market tanked. Grant explains why that was uncharacteristic and what it might mean.
