Iran - Trump -- Rambling -- February 20, 2026

l

An earlier note: February 18, 2025.

Now, my hunch:

  • the decision has been made
    • who have we not seen in the past week? Hespeth.
  • to withdraw all that US firepower now would be a huge TACO event
  • it's interesting to read the mainstream media 
    • the journalists are missing a huge, huge story with regard to what the military is doing while "waiting."

The only thing I can advise: check in on Fox News every four hours. More often as the situation changes, but right now? Every four hours. Remember: 

  • 10:00 p.m. in Washington = 6:30 a.m. in Tehran.
  • 2:00 p.m. ET: prime time for Mideast events begin; 
    • whatever happens, it will be choreographed for the American public 

One may want to google: has any president announced major hostilities while giving the SOTU address?

The most boring story right now: tariffs.
