Trump's harvesting rookies again

"I'm pleased to announce that over the past two days, the United States and Iran have conducted very successful and productive negotiations to completely resolve our hostilities in the Middle East region.

I have ordered the Department of Defense to postpone any military strikes against Iranian power facilities and energy infrastructure for five days, contingent on the progress of subsequent meetings and discussions."

Brent crude crashed over 10% in two minutes

Then suddenly start fighting a couple days later and take out the long positions too?

Same old playbook...
