    There's reasonable speculation that Israel knew of 9/11 prior to the event and kept silent as it would likely work out in Israel's favor.

    Am sure there’s speculation about it and a lot of other known unknowns. Whether any can be classified as reasonable however remains an unknown unknown.

      I suppose it's justifiable if you see the world through a religious lens.

        What a great idea. Let's unite the Muslim world against the infidels. Almost as good as alienating one's allies.

            This could explain the above. The market is pricing in 5.2% inflation for the next 12 months. In 3 weeks, it's gone from pricing in a rate cut to pricing in a rate increase.

              A perfectly sound reason then for the rest of NATO to continue to let Trump and Hegseth’s Templars have at it on their own over there.

              Not a banner I would ever consider having our troops to fight under.

                          https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/03/20/iran-oil-sanctions-trump/

                          Trump administration lifts sanctions on millions of barrels of Iranian oil

                          As oil prices soar, Treasury Department has lifted sanctions on Iranian crude already loaded onto vessels — giving Iran’s war effort against the U.S. a boost.

                                  This makes it harder for Trump to later decide that he's going to declare victory and let the rest of the world worry about the strait. That will be a very obvious L after this.

                                    Perhaps Iran attempting to strike Diego Garcia base with long range missiles touched a nerve.

                                          A lot of prominent Iranian dissidents abroad are asking Trump not to attack the power plants, including Reza Palavi and that woman in Brooklyn they keep trying to kill.

                                          In the background I’m sure the GCC are asking him to hold off too.

                                          I think there’s a good chance he calls it off and says it’s in deference (not the word he’d use) to the dissidents.
