Trump Blinks on Iran — Ceasefire Proves the Threats Were Empty

from The Peter Schiff Show Podcast · host Peter Schiff

Trump threatened to destroy Iran's civilization by 8pm — instead he got a ceasefire that concedes nothing. The threats were always empty. • This episode is sponsored by Odoo.

Ticker WRLGFTrump'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.Chapters:00:00 Show Intro00:55 Trump Deadline Drama05:33 Markets Call the Bluff08:32 Pakistan Ceasefire Rumors12:22 Trump Two Week Pause16:20 Iran Ceasefire Terms19:15 Iran Statement Readout22:19 Civilian Targeting Critique29:01 Dollar Power and Blowback32:05 Scaling Gold Production32:52 Gold Moves on Rate Cuts35:14 Oil Prices vs Real Inflation37:32 War Risk Premium Sticks40:53 Weak Data and CPI Ahead44:57 Polls Signal Economic Pain50:49 Ditch Dollars Buy Metals52:44 Mining Stocks Next Leg55:33 FOIA Win IRS Fights Back01:03:29 Transparency Battle Wrap UpFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #IranCeasefire #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Blinds.com and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.blinds.com* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for $255 off: https://sleep.me* Check out Factor and use my code gold50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/GOLD for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
