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

Ok mate. Sure. There's going to be no ceasefire and it's just the lying nasty orange man on his social media.

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, 

 

 

 

 BBC pictures of Iran 1979 before the Muslim madness took over 

 

Pre-1979 Iran had modern, cosmopolitan pockets, especially in Tehran, but also faced political repression, deep inequality, and limited freedoms. SAVAK, the Shah’s secret police, used surveillance and torture, and rural and religious groups were largely excluded from reforms.

The 1979 revolution was driven by political, economic, and religious grievances — not just ideology. It resulted in an Islamic Republic, but the roots ran deeper.

Calling it “madness” oversimplifies a complex history.

In many revolutions, the new rulers end up repeating — or worsening — the very abuses they once claimed to overthrow.

Trump’s proving the rule: rail against reckless wars — then start one yourself.

5th wave incoming. 2 min remain until ceasefire should start.

11:00 am 24/06/25 Thai time, 7:00 am Israel time. Ceasefire should have gone into effect. Will it hold? Will it start?

No comment as yet from Israel or Iran.

Atypical woke liberal hater.  The POTUS announces a cease fire has been agreed to, and the potential for WW3 has been hopefully stopped, but you have so much dislike that you make a snarky comment like that.

Why could you not give him congratulations for achieving such a result - peace through force seems to have worked.  BUT - and listen mate - if you stop hating and start thinking, you might have realised that this could be Trump's 'Neville Chamberlain Moment' if it fails an Iran sends 100 ballistic missiles into Israel tomorrow.  Although I believe Trump has made it clear that if Iran does that, he will wipe them off the face of the earth - and Mecca with it. And I am sure he has told Israel that he will withdraw all USA support and funding if they attack Iran like that - which means the Arab Nations will destroy them. 

Cease fire is rejected by Iran. Plain and simple.

Iranian state tv confirming Trump's ceasefire. Pls stop your misinformation borne out of irrational hatred for DJT.

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

With Trumps tack record of lying, probably. I see even MTG has seen the light too..........😱

Iran says last missile wave was launched before ceasefire came into effect.

I hope and pray that the leaders of Israel and Iran will made their official announcement not state TVs.

 

This from BBC.

 

Neither country has confirmed the ceasefire - Iran says if Israel stops its attacks, Iran will also bring an end to its strikes; Israel is yet to comment

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. 

 

Before there can be any peace talks there has to be a ceasefire. It is quite impressive that a ceasefire was obtained so quickly. It may have been the price Israel had to accept in order to get the B2 payload delivered. Whatever the reason, it is a ceasefire and hopefully it  takes hold. Unfortunately, iran's FM says there is no ceasefire and  Iran continued to launch missiles into Israel past 7 a.m. local time, when the ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump was intended to take effect. I do hope you are wrong, as the alternative is a continued war.

 

 

News is that the Ayatollah was invited to a security WhatsApp meeting and was able to evacuate the targets in time. Whew.

UK state tv good and to be trusted on Iranian matters.

Iran state tv bad and not to be trusted for Iranian matters, we should consult the BBC for that.🤣

 

An interesting take considering BBCs well deserved reputation for pushing misinformation.

A ceasefire is better for Iran now than it is for Israel.

Turn on your TV. They are still attacking.

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.

True to your post you admitted a truth...

Not one to notice your optimism was flaky at best.

Many were saying online that the ceasefire was brought forward. It wasn't. Iran launched until the very last minute. 

@Eric Loh 3 posts of yours now removed for their off topic or false and unattributed claims. I suggest you stop now

The reason this is better for Iran (specifically their unpopular REGIME) is that right now Israel can do whatever they want in Iran including measures to more completely dismantle the REGIME. A ceasefire for the Iranian regime gives them breathing space to regroup. Understood that regime change is a controversial goal and really should come internally, but on the other hand the weaker the regime is, the easier it would be for the Iranian people to rise up and topple their regime with minimal casualties (as the regime definitely WILL murder their own people). 

Looks like (for now) fighting stopped. Good!

Now would be a good time for the Iranian people to uprise. If they actually want a change.

I truly hope this ceasefire is not fake new. CNN a few minutes ago:

They want a change but they don't to be shot dead.

Freedom comes at a price.

Now where's my Nobel Peace Prize I've saved the World again Maga. Ayatollah posts after the ceasefire was declared " Iran will never Surrender ". When the Iranians develop there Bomb and drop it on Tel Aviv will Trump finally say sorry Benny should have seen that coming.

If this could lead to an end to the Extremest Islamic rule of the Ayatollahs and a return to something similar to pre-revolution (pre 1979) life similar to the monarchy under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the Pahlavi dynasty or modern equivalent of…  Then we may see Middle East peace…. 

Other factions will diminish once their sponsors are diminished.

 

What this means for Israel & Gaza I’m not sure, but without Irans support - perhaps these smaller fundamentalist groups will be more easily controlled & peace can finally prevail.

Right but people aren't always willing to pay it.

Take Russia for example.

If 10 percent of the population of Moscow or even much less stormed the Kremlin they could topple the regime. But there would be many killed in the process.
