Israel and Iran trade strikes in biggest escalation since April 'ceasefire' - Way Too Early - MS NOW

[Rhiannon12866]

Israel and Iran are trading strikes this morning in the most significant exchange of fire since the April ceasefire. The ramped-up hostilities began over the weekend, when Israel launched airstrikes on Beirut. Israeli attacks in Lebanon are a major sticking point in negotiations to end the war and a red line for Iran.

Tehran, which has insisted Lebanon be included in any deal, retaliated by firing missiles at Israel for the first time in two months. Israel then responded by launching strikes toward Tehran.

Also, this morning, the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen joined the war for the first time since the ceasefire, firing missiles toward Israel. MS NOW National Security and Intelligence Analyst Marc Polymeropoulos joins Way Too Early to discuss the latest. - Aired on 06/08/2026.

2. I have been watching the price of crude oil for 3 months,

It's starting to make me laugh. The price of crude goes up $3/barrel for legitimate reasons and then 2 days later Krasnov proclaims that a peace deal is on the horizon and crude drops $3/gal, rinse and repeat.

Iran doesn't want a fucking deal. Having civilian Iranian officials negotiating is a pretty big tell, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is ruling Iran and it doesn't want a deal, unless it's a surrender deal from Krasnov.

What has been going on with these bogus negotiations is just fine with Iran, because time is on its side. Iran has been doing real negotiations with numerous countries who pay the toll through Hormuz for safe passage, everything else is just Kabuki Theater, including the price of crude and gasoline which should be much higher.
