Sure they begged for a deal that's more advantageous to them than for you... /s

Anything to save that last sliver of face I guess?

I guess that's why US agreed to Iran's 10-point plan to end the war as a baseline for ceacefire when in the past they said many of their points were a red line for them.

This drunk wife beating war criminal is a source of much amusement for Iranians for sure...

Trump's entire administration lies through their teeth every time they speak. Because, of course they do.

I bet that couch was begging for it too, wasn't it, Pete?

edit: I may have muddled the identities of two clearly independent members of the Trump Broligarchy.

“No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander-in-chief,” Hegseth said during a Wednesday morning press conference. “President Trump forged this moment. Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it.”

The shit these people talk... No one is buying it except those Americans who live in a right-wing media fantasy world.

Just like the women and children they raped begged for it, right?

These people need to be executed.

So based on them saying the other side is doing what they are (spending money, raping children, etc), Donnie was crying uncle!

With the 2 million usd per ship going through the strait of Hormuz, I don't think they've been begging very hard.

Meanwhile Iran is saying that a strong and resilient Iran forced Trump to back off.
