“Israel and Iran must immediately stop 'shooting.' Both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on 'Peace' are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way. The Blockade will remain in place, and in full force and effect, until a 'Final Deal' is reached.

Iran and Israel Trade Missiles for First Time Since April Ceasefire; Trump Claims "Total Victory" Near
June 8, 2026
Iran fired approximately 30 ballistic missiles at Israel on June 7–8, 2026 — the first such attack since an April 8 ceasefire — after Israel launched airstrikes on Lebanon. Israel retaliated with strikes on central and western Iran before both sides announced a halt to hostilities on Day 100–101 of the Iran war. Trump publicly called for an "immediate ceasefire" while privately warning Netanyahu he might be "left alone," and declared "total victory" would come within two weeks. JD Vance acknowledged that US and Israeli interests had "diverged" in the conflict, and Trump told the Financial Times "I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn't call the shots."

“You're really gonna win this over the next two weeks when we declare total victory. It'll be a total victory. Oil prices will come tumbling down. I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn't call the shots. You better be very careful with what you do because you might soon be left alone against Iran.
“The Israelis and the United States, we have a lot of shared interests. But we also have some situations where our interests diverge. The president's attitude on this is we have to verify. I don't assume that anybody is acting in good faith.
