NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute:

President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan.

According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war:
“This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.”

In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives.

Key points in the offer:
• $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs
• Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime
• Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub
• Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons
• Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella
• Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb
• Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel
• Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran

In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected.

Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.

It's hard to keep up with this guy. Last week he demanded the strait be opened and this week the US is going to close it.
I cant wait for his next speech

"We have the highest oil prices ever. Huge surge in oil, record breaking oil prices and we are making allota money right now".

Forget everyday Americans are paying 5 or 6 bucks a gallon and maybe a lot more. Him and his billionaire buddies are going to make a lot of money. Thats all he really cares about.

The commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said on January 7 that the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia were actually Jewish, and that their conflict with Iran harkens back to 7th century battles between Muslim and Jewish tribes.

The speech was aired on Iran's Bushehr TV and translated by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute.

“We cannot bear to see injustice in a Muslim country that is perpetrated by the Zionists and the seed of the Jews,” the commander, Gen. Alireza Tangsiri, says in a video recording of the speech.

Trump’s BOLD Move STUNS Hormuz Crisis Watchers... | Victor Davis Hanson​

For decades, presidents talked… warned… hesitated. Trump acted. And everything changed.

Victor Davis Hanson lays it out clearly—Trump didn’t chase empty promises or endless wars. He applied pressure, precision, and timing to cripple one of the most dangerous regimes in the world, all while avoiding the massive losses we’ve seen in past conflicts.

This wasn’t reckless. It was controlled, calculated, and effective.
While others appeased, Trump confronted. While others delayed, he delivered results.

Listen to Victor Davis Hanson break it down, and see why Trump’s approach isn’t just strong leadership… it’s strategy at the highest level.
