TheVoiceOfJoyce The continuing saga of Trump’s War in Iran. If he hadn’t torn up the Nuclear Agreement & renegotiated it, we wouldn’t be at War. We are at War with Iran and the GOP hawks want action. This morning, mine layers in the Strait of Hormuz were bombed along with a port. Though peacemakers are on their way to Qatar. Every stage of negotiations will be linked to sanction relief. That’s reasonable. Tulsi Gabbard of National Intelligence is gone. Trump has his Party to contend with and now he’s made Republican enemies. If the War was used to duck the Epstein Files, Massie will assure they’re in the Public eye. Meanwhile, Trump has until 6/2 to make a deal with Iran or the GOP caucus will force him out of Iran. The country is reeling from high prices and inflation caused by higher fuel costs. Globally the extra emissions from Wars is causing man made drought, heat and weather extremes. Our World is interconnected and the strongmen are causing more harm than good!
