The anticipation surrounding a potential resolution to the conflict with Iran faded before the mainstream media could even cover it.
It appears that the mainstream media fails to understand that late-night weekend posts from Donald Trump often lack credibility.

When such announcements are made, skepticism is warranted. Given the frequency of Trump’s falsehoods, his claim that Iran seeks to end the conflict should have been met with caution.
Trump stated:
The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.
Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
This statement was Trump attempting to portray himself as the authoritative figure from The Apprentice.
By Monday, the facade had crumbled, exposing Trump’s ineffectiveness.
