Deal Or No Deal?

Let’s Make A Deal…Or Not..

Cartoon published 06/13/2026

Iran broke the ceasefire and launched a drone at a US helicopter. Miraculously, the drone went between the two pilots and did not detonate. President Trump became fed up and he was about to thoroughly bomb Iran. The stock market tanked. Suddenly, there was news of a peace deal. The stock market went up like a bottle rocket. Iran’s peace deal offers arise only when they are threatened by force.

We’ve seen this scenario over and over again. Trump announced peace deals over and over again, only to have them fall through when Iran refuses to adhere to some of the conditions of those deals.

A deal would be announced and Iran’s media would deny there was any such deal. A deal would be announced that Iran was willing to give up their nuclear fuel and then subsequently Iran would deny any such intention. It would be said Iran would be willing to open up the Strait of Hormuz and then suddenly there would be an addendum—Iran would charge ships $2 million apiece for passage.

We understand that Iran is decentralized and there might be several factions involved, but this is getting ridiculous. Oil prices suddenly go down and lurch up again. The stock market seems confused. Will there be a deal or not?

This latest ‘deal’ might indeed be real—or it might not be real. After all, Iran has shouted “Death to America!” since 1979. They may not be willing to give up their nuclear ambitions or the battle.
