OMG it's just too funny. Wakes up in the morning: "I'm extincting an entire civilization". In the evening after his nap: "Meh".

I mean it's actually not so funny, I was half expecting news of a nuke on Tehran by the evening. The commander in chief of the largest military in history is a lunatic. Everything's fine.

God, it's actually Tuesday.

I guess we should be grateful that the cosmic beings who got the assignment, "create the worst possible world," are terrible writers?

I'm not making fun of this. I'm not saying TACO! I'm happy about this. I just want Operation Epstein Fury to end. I don't want more kids murdered in my name, under my country's flag. We need to get that motherfucker out of office by any means.

Threatening genocide to reach a ceasefire is some extremist shit. How far was he prepared to take it if his demands weren't met?

Implying the use of nuclear weapons will now be viewed as a winning strategy to him.

It's Putin level politics.

Ilixtze@lemmy.ml · 42 pts · 153d (3 replies)

My theory is that the genocidal pedophile scum at the Head of the United States and Israel are trying to provoke Iran into attacking one of their allies or escalate the war further so that they can use that as a justification for the mass murder they eagerly want. Trump and his cabinet are rabid animals so they will probably try to stage a false flag attack themselves.

Godort@lemmy.ca · 17 pts · 153d

They're doing a bunch.

I think they're mostly testing the waters of public opinion to see how much they can get away with. In addition, they're manipulating the market with these announcements, so they can make bank through stock trades, and on top of all that, like you say, if Iran escalates, then they can escalate in kind.

carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 153d (1 reply)

do they even give a shit about justifications at this point?

Ilixtze@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 152d

Regardless if justifications work or not. I feel It's important to be vigilant of how they will manufacture consent. I happen to live in one of the countries that was threatened by the trump regime, and if there is one thing we are learning about the debacle in Iran is that a militarily weaker country can manage it's geographical resources to at least put some pressure in a trump presidency that is not entirely popular with it's electorate and with an American economy that has very clear instabilities.

And maga will forgive him immediately. Probably say he's being a great negotiator or some nonsense.

Impeachment is off the menu boys. Like it was ever on the menu...

fiat_lux@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 153d

Like the two week lead last year for the decision to attack Iran? I'm not sure Iran will buy that. The US is maybe trying for a sequel to "Operation Midnight Hammer", or, as the media chatter is heavily astroturfing right now, having ground troops pillage the uranium stockpile.

The media needs to stop reporting every line of bullshit Trump says and focus on what he and his bootlickers are actually doing. They keep letting him drown out the actual information with his predictable gishgallop.

In a statement published by Mehr News Agency, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has confirmed the reported two weeks ceasefire deal negotiated by Pakistan.

The statement said that the ceasefire agreement was reached with the approval of Iran’s new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said in a social media post on Tuesday night that the United States and Iran, “along with their allies,” had agreed to an immediate cease-fire. He said the cease-fire applies everywhere, “including Lebanon and elsewhere.”

Bets on when Iran says there is no deal?

I think they'll announce that Trump has agreed to negotiate on their proposed plan.

humanspiral@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 153d

The 10 point plan Trump mentions is all Iran demands. Iran with Pakistan confirmation has said the ceasefire is in place with Iranian control over SoH shipping.

ripcord@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 153d (1 reply)

They already announced agreeing and reopening the Strait

inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 153d

From the bbc:

And even if Iran does fully open Hormuz – without conditioning passage on tolls or other payments – its ability to control the key geopolitical chokepoint is more clear now than ever.

In a statement after Trump's ceasefire message, Iranian foreign minister Seyed Aragchi said that Iran would halt its "defensive operations" and allow safe passage through the Hormuz "via coordination with Iran's armed forces". He added that the US had accepted the "general framework" of the Iranian 10-point plan.

That plan includes the US withdrawing its military forces from the region, lifting economic sanctions on Iran, paying compensation for war damages and allowing Iran to maintain control over Hormuz. It is hard to imagine Trump actually agreeing to any of those conditions – a sign that the next two weeks of negotiations could be treacherous.

Not exactly what I would call agreeing to open the straight.

Ceasefire also includes Lebanon, Israeli news site reports

Israel's Ynet is reporting that the ceasefire also includes Lebanon.

Citing security sources, the website said the ceasefire includes both Israel and Hezbollah laying down their weapons. It did not provide further details.

Israel is onboard with the ceasefire, too. Haven't they done a fair bit of firing during the Gaza ceasefire(s)?

Al Jazeera has Israel reporters saying this caught Israel off guard. Officials saying it caught them completely surprised

Yeah there’s no way Israel doesn’t break the ceasefire by tommorrow.

As an early sunrise blossoms above Tehran, Donald Trump semi-coherently explains that he only agreed to stop conventional bombing and attacks.

danc4498@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 153d (2 replies)

I personally don’t believe it. I think he’s gonna let them relax their guard.

Same. This is to calm markets.

floofloof@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 153d

I'm sure they're well aware of this chance and will not let their guard down.

humanspiral@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 153d (3 replies)

Trump says he agrees with nearly all of these items for permanent peace:

1—Commitment to non-aggression
2—Continuation of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz
3—Acceptance of uranium enrichment
4—Lifting of all primary sanctions
5—Lifting of all secondary sanctions
6—Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions
7—Termination of all Board of Governors resolutions
8—Payment of compensation to Iran
9—Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region
10—Cessation of war on all fronts, including against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

So like, forgive me for being stupid, but what the hell was the point then?

humanspiral@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 152d

The point of the ceasefire is the realization of US impotence. They've run out of targets, and their navy is incapable of getting closer than 1000km to Iran coast.

The point of surprise attack on Pope, and girl's school, without getting world/allies aligned for war against Iran, was "this was the last best chance" to stop Iran's ascension. That stupidity is the result of Israel first rule over America, where Israel's goal is entirely "ending Iran civilization". and Trump is seriously stupid, surrounded by Mossad agents, and bibi knows everything (on Trump) Mossad agent Epstein gathered from his honeypot scams.
