The ceasefire would not be possible without the involvement of Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed who negotatiated with Tehran for their part of the ceasefire agreement. Not all Trump as he tried to gaslight.

You leftist are sore losers.   

Trump neutered Iran.  Lefties, sorry for your loss.

Agree. I've said before Trump could end all wars, abolish all poverty and hunger and eradicate all disease and they'd still find some reason to unleash their derangement.

The ceasefire will be godsend for Iran. Tehran was reeling from the attacks and tried to save face with a military response but without provoking a cycle of escalation and even regime change  it can't afford. It will buy time for Iran to re-group and bargain for sanction reliefs as a trade-off for denuclearization plan.

Actually I think Israel did most of it albeit with US assistance. The initial days were simply amazing what they did and I'm saying this purely from a tactical point of view.

It's a fair point.

Sirens sound in Israel as military says identifies missiles launched from Iran
From CNN’s Eugenia Yosef and Helen Regan
The Israeli military said it has identified missiles launched toward Israel from Iran, and said its defensive systems were activated.

“A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel,” the Israel Defense Forces said.

“At this time, the IAF (Israeli Air Force) is operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat.”

The alert comes after Iran’s Foreign Minister hinted hostilities may have ended, and that Iran would halt its military response if Israel stopped its strikes on Iran by 4 a.m. local time in Tehran.

It is now shortly before 6 a.m in Iran.

How did those of us on the left get associated with Iran?  Most leftists are opposed to Islamic terrorism.

It would seem the call that the ceasefire has been brought forward and I posted was incorrect. 2nd wave of missile attacks on Israel in 15 minutes underway. Still 1 hour 17 minutes to actual ceasefire time.

I don't think you were wrong, it was carried in multiple outlets. I think this is Iran getting in the last word and now seeing if Israel react to it?

Maybe. Thing is it's definitely not in Iran's benefit to test the waters. Big hit in Be'er Sheva. More than likely the call that the ceasefire was brought forward was wrong and for the next hour things might ramp up in way of missile strikes. This would also mean Israel will still be hitting targets in Iran.

Yup just like it was a few years back…..go figure anyway it’s a step in the right direction now msm is reporting Iran has agreed to a cease fire that’s a good thing let’s hope it bears fruit.

Sadly there are some on here that seem to be hoping there is no ceasefire just so they can say "Trump a liar. There is no ceasefire".

Statistically, Trump’s statements are more often false than true—so doubting his “cease-fire” claim is simple logic.

If that feels uncomfortable for you, the problem may lie less with the numbers and more with your relationship to critical thinking.

It's worth noting that even if this totally unsubstantiated cease fire turns out to be true rather than yet another one of Trump's grandiose projections, a cease fire is not the same thing as an end to a conflict. That would imply negotiations and agreements. 

 

That's how most negotiations and agreements, begin---with the cease fire. You don't start talking about it until you stop killing each other.

 

I understand your angst about it all---- but don't worry, take comfort in the knowledge that  Ice Cream Joe would have taken  the exact  same action .

By which you are saying he's lying about the ceasefire which after all is the topic of this thread.

There's speculation the Supreme Leader has been taken out. Maybe this why Netanyahu has agreed to a ceasefire. Please note the word speculation in this post.

 

If he has been taken out--it could well be by his own army--- AS France 24 News was speculating..... Iran-- it should be one of the richest countries in that region,

Iran's biggest customer is China -- they will be the biggest looser if they have to go elsewhere  and the proper price for oil.

Are you for real? This is from a social media account from the guy who said Ukraine would be over in a day and the Gaza Strip the next Riviera of the Middle East.

 

Jeez, get a grip on reality, you have been totally sucked into your echo chamber of misinformation.
