Summary
Trump threatened to destroy Iran's civilization by 8pm — instead he got a ceasefire that concedes nothing. The threats were always empty.

Trump's Tuesday deadline to destroy Iran's civilization came and went with a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire instead of the promised hellfire. Peter Schiff breaks down how the president's escalating threats — from bombing bridges and power plants to wiping out an entire civilization — collapsed into a two-week truce that concedes nothing from Iran's side.
Markets swung wildly on the drama: the Dow dropped 400 points intraday before rallying nearly 1,000 points on ceasefire news, oil cratered 15.5% back to $95 after touching $115, and gold surged $60 despite the supposed "peace" — proving the market is trading the Fed, not the war. Schiff argues rate cuts are coming regardless of inflation, that oil will never return to $60, and that the dollar's reserve currency status is being actively dismantled as countries like France pull gold from U.S. custody. He also reveals the IRS is refusing to comply with a federal judge's FOIA ruling ordering release of documents from the Euro Pacific Bank investigation.
