Uhhh… does Iran agree to the ceasefire? Does Trump know that a ceasefire has to be agreed on by both sides? He can’t just “declare“ a ceasefire unless Iran agrees to it, too.

I mean, he can. It's called surrender.
Also Israel won't give a shit anyway so his word doesn't mean anything.

Also iirc Israel just kept shooting? And then Trump got mad than iran continued shooting back because it 'violated' the imaginary ceasefire that apprently involved them just sitting there and being shot without retaliating?

Dude shut the fuck up already. Everyone hates you fully and completely to the highest extent possible.
Edit: not talking about op.

I laughed thinking of you lashing out epically at OP just for posting a news story.

Ditto. He talks like someone who looses braincells every time he goes to the bathroom.
That being said where are the mostly unredacted aside from the ongoing investigations and victims, Epstien Files. I still want to know who was on there and why there were redactions. I especially want to hear the excuse why the word dont was redacted

I don't get why news outlets take Trump's announcements and make them headlines as if were the sole truth of the state of affairs when it's been repeatedly proven to be complete bullshit. Framing it in a way that they're claims is one thing, but leave it up to news outlets to be this fucking dishonest too.

You finally get enough courage to ask your crush out. After arriving at a restaurant and getting a table, some time later you need to go to a toilet. The phone stays sitting on a table because just before you were showing her pictures of your cat. As you leave, the phone suddenly gets a notification of your comment and she sees it

How much money did he make off wall street this "changed my mind"?
Steve@startrek.website · 14 pts · 122d
Less and less every time. He needs a new play already. I suggest attacking Israel if you really want to destabilize markets.

THAT'S why he wanted the nuke codes!

This isn't a TACO.
It's an attempt to assert control over Iran by unilaterally extending the ceasefire.
Frankly, this is one of the reasons why the IRGC did not want this ceasefire in the first place, as it removed a large part of their leverage and gave up the initiative.
Trump isn't wrong about the Iranian government being fractured.
Will be interesting to see if the Iranians use Israel's ceasefire violations or the blockade as justification for resuming missle and drone attacks.

Seriously. Iran could, five minutes from now, just announced that Trump can go fuck himself and that they don’t agree to the ceasefire at all and start shooting at ships. Trump thinks that gives him leverage. Because he’s an idiot.

Yeah Trump is a bully running out of tricks

that’s trump’s plan. iran shoots and now trump has “proof” we “need” to be there boots on ground and queue up the new hit “murica” country songs..
flandish@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 120d
it’s not an attempt to assert control, it’s an “out” to manufacture consent at Gulf of Tonkin levels.

Iran isn't really fractured. That SoH is declared open (but with Iran control) when ceasefire agreement sets, then closed shortly after when Zio side does not implement their obligations is not fracture. Ghalibaf, if he's main negotiator, is not publicly different from IRGC view, and Trump's announcements that a deal for complete surrender by Iran was already agreed is simply pure BS made to profit from financial market volatility.
Still, Iran's negotiations are far too passive. Needs to negotiate with world on opening SoH, and World negotiate with US on leaving, so that SoH can reopen. That is only eventual outcome US can afford, but world just waiting passively for US to just leave before dealing with Iran is a longer delay on SoH full flow, as well as longer delay to force US to leave. Iran should also make constructive posts on nuclear issue. Specifically reparations for existing stockpile, and long term contract for Uranium enrichment services that make it more valuable to export than use. US side is completely incapable of negotiating quickly any other option other than cash for uranium, or complete clone of JCPOA.
Still, by asking Iran to repeat their 10 point plan as basis for negotiation, it is the beginning of US surrender process. It's just moving far too slow for global health.
