Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, June 03, 2026

Tensions in the Middle East heated up on Wednesday after Iran attacked Kuwait and Bahrain following the latest U.S. strikes against the Islamic Republic, further testing a fragile ceasefire as President Donald Trump said talks to end the war are progressing.

An Iranian attack damaged Kuwait's main airport, killing one and injuring more than 60 people, according to Kuwaiti authorities.

U.S. Central Command said American forces "successfully defeated" Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting Bahrain and civilian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

None of those attacks hit their targets, CENCOM said.

"The hostilities come as Trump said in a podcast that Iran agreed to never have a nuclear weapon but could change its mind before a deal is finalized.

Trump added that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is involved with negotiations and the two will "probably will meet at some point."

"Speaking with lawmakers about the state of U.S.-Iran talks, Secretary of State Marco Rubio struck a less declarative tone than Trump.

Rubio said Iran has not made any concessions on its nuclear program that satisfy Washington and added that sanctions relief will hinge on Iran giving up its enriched uranium and dismantling its nuclear program.

Rubio said what's currently being discussed between Washington and Tehran is the terms of the negotiations."

Ah, well... glad that's all settled! Where's Trump's Nobel, er, Trump Peace Prize??

Hitting the targets was never the focus of Iran's endgame. All they need to do is keep shooting... and keep waiting.

The only difference between Trump and an ape is that Trump is forced by cultural norms to don a business suit to cover up his fat belly and tiny dick.

Intergalactically vapid Empty Suit Marco Rubio who mega-oligarch Larry Ellison-- a good friend of Benjamin Netanyahu-- vetted for the job as USSECSTATE.

What an effing country Amerikkka has become with Likud and Kremlin leadership.

This stupid war against the people of Iran to benefit Israel will end up costing us a trillion dollars (according to just one economist) and close to 75,000 Palestinians in Gaza would have been liquidated since 7 Oct 2023 to make room for Israeli Settlers and real estate tycoons who want a beachside resort.

And no one has shivved Jared Kushner yet.

Remarkable.

So, what's your point with the red squares that are just BS propaganda?
How about disclosing who is paying you for constantly spewing anti-Jewish material here on the Retort?
