					<description><![CDATA[Words were exchanged. An aggressive shove followed. Then the large fellow responded with two hard punches in rapid succession.

Boyfriend hit the floor, bounced back up bravely - if unwisely - and the whole thing descended into chaos - yet again 🍺
One missing tooth. Pride severely damaged.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The US President flatly rejected Iran's proposal, insisting the naval blockade stays in place until Iran agrees to far stricter nuclear terms. And in typical Trump fashion - he doubled down, claiming the blockade is "more effective than bombing" and describing Iran as "choking like a stuffed pig." 🐷]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here's the central contradiction in Hormuz that would embarrass a first-year diplomatic student: Trump agreed to a ceasefire on April 7th in exchange for Iran opening the strait. Iran opened the strait. Trump kept the blockade. Iran closed the strait again. Trump called it a ceasefire violation.]]></description>
