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 declare ~~bankruptcy~~ ceasefire!" - Donald J. Trump
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?
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.
I mean, he can. It's called surrender.
Lmao
He’s literally just manipulating the market
Dude shut the fuck up already. Everyone hates you fully and completely to the highest extent possible.
Edit: not talking about op.
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.
See CBS.
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
TACO Tuesday.
Damn, is it taco Tuesday already?
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
