How’s your fuel prices

I don't recall seeing whoever is in charge of Iran's military agree to to extending Trump's cease fire.

You are correct. Iran did not agree to any new terms. There wasn't even a meeting to discuss it.

The general public has no idea what’s being discussed behind the scenes.
Iranian leadership couldn’t be more fractured.
That’s the reason some crazy bastards are shooting at ships, yet a comprehensive deal is likely being created as we type.

Short term pain, long term gain.

Saw diesel at $7.09 today here.

There's just no evidence to suggest that. Sure, there are Truth Social Posts -those so far have a terrible track record of reflecting the truth, mostly serving the purpose of market manipulation without a shred of shame. There are the Hegseth pressers where he uses phrases such as "death and destruction", "bottom of the sea", "negotiate with bombs" etc, but the Pentagon's own intelligence assessment rebukes these claims. The intelligence assessment states that Iran maintains a "significant" portion of their missile capabilities and as much as 60% of their naval assets. And, infer a bit further. Is firing generals during a war usually a sign that a war is going well? As of just now, the Secretary of the Navy was either fired or forced to resign. Compound that with the firing/forced resignation of the Army Chief of Staff earlier this month. There's no reality where you can point to these examples and convince me that these are signs that things are going well.

I mean, sure, all we can do is interpret what information we have to work with, but your optimism on this matter seems like blind trust based on Truth social posts. I'm not sure what other sources of information that you may be looking at that "guarantee" short term resolution. Objectively analyzing the situation, top military leaders are being fired/forced out and the Pentagon's intelligence agency report rebukes the claims of the administration that oversees it. And, as posted above, if conflict should resolve tomorrow, we're looking at months of minesweeping. Oil prices are going to see some real pain in the coming months and diesel in particular is going to surge to crisis prices which is going to effect everything. Best case scenario, we're looking at medium term pain that may in fact be severe pain.
