UPDATE
It has been 2 hours. There is still mixed reporting. According to Reuters, Qatar said Iran had agreed to the ceasefire. The ceasefire has not been confirmed or denied by Iran or Israel. Iran and Israel are still both attacking. Trump’s post said that the ceasefire must begin within 6 hours, that would be midnight eastern time.
In my own personal judgement, I can not definitively say whether the ceasefire is real or fake.

UPDATE 2
It has been 3 hours since Trump’s posts.
Fars News reports that “The ceasefire proposal put forward by U.S. President Donald Trump is completely false and was floated to distract public attention from the recent humiliation suffered by the United States following attacks on its bases in the region.” Fars News Agency is managed by the IRGC, therefore I consider it to be reliable on reporting decisions of the Iranian government.

Iran Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi says that there is no ceasefire agreement. “As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.”

DISCLAIMER: This post is about what Trump says. It is not confirmed that Iran has accepted the ceasefire. I will update the post when there is official Iranian response.
Yeah I’m sure pissrael is going to honor that.
When the Zionist Entity attacks Iran again, the US will blame Iran.
Iran should have taken their chances while Israel was low on interceptors. Are they really just going to let them rearm?
Amerikkka will not allow Israel to fall. We all want Israel flattened, but Iran simply can’t fight the US alone, and Russia and China doesn’t seem to want to commit to Iran’s aid. Yes Ansar Allah gave the US a black eye, but Iran vs US will be an existential war.
I have news
They never even formally requested assistance from China or Russia. Maybe they should have tried putting in formal requests for assistance from allies before surrendering? They STILL won’t commit to forming a military alliance with China and Russia because they STILL are holding out hope for westerns sanction relief. They are cooked.
It’s reported that Israel does have air superiority over certain regions of Iran (Israel claims much more /all of Iran but that’s highly doubtful)
Israel opened the fighting with successfull attacks on Iranian infrastructure and commanders.
Meanwhile Israel’s problem is just an inability to deal with the constant barrages from Iran, there was no surprise attack on their capabilities.
So while a ceasefire does benefit Israel in being able to re-up their Air Defenses, it also has much greater potential to help Iran, as they would now be able to access and/or move infrastructure they can’t currently access and also they can better organize/embedd their new command structures.
I’m aware of reports they haven’t received a ceasefire and/or don’t intend to accept one. This is just explanation for why they would potentially accept a ceasefire.

Wrong because the ceasefire means jack shit and Israel will sucker punch again at their discretion. All this does is cut another slice of salami
Better go prep the
printer again

Tons happened I never understand this “nothing ever happens” meme.

What?
I just don’t understand the prevalence of the “nothing ever happens” meme.
Its like if “the sky is never blue” became a meme posted during every storm.
Is it supposed to be a absurdist/ironic and mark that things do in fact happen? I just tend to see it more in nihilistic contexts.
Sometimes we take memes too seriously, but it’s pretty clear there is a real ‘Nothing Ever Happens’ camp around here.
Nothing ever happens to them under the safety of the imperial core as a straight white cis male*
There’s nothing much to understand that doesn’t paint the person saying that shit in a bad light.
I think Trump just desperately wanted Team Melli to be at the world cup.
As others have said not going to buy this until Israel fulfills their side of it.
The only way I can see that is 1. They were really feeling the pressure from their citizens given the constant strikes from Iran and their economy was at risk of collapse and/or 2. They believe the bombing critically set back Irans ability to acquire nuclear weapons.
I’m a bit surprised Iran went for it given they can’t really trust Israel/US and that it seemed the US wouldn’t get involved more if they just kept the pace of rocket attacks steady without escalating to blocking the strait or something similar.
Either the attacks had a major impact or they would rather take the deal to get the US out of the picture while they push to actually make a nuclear weapon now given that’s the only defense guarantee they can count on.
I saw a clip recently where a guy pointed out that construction in Israel stopped about 600 days ago, and that it’s difficult for Israel to recover from every building Iran destroys, whereas Iran is so big that it doesn’t cause their entire country to come to a halt because of Israel’s attacks and can recover fairly well.
I genuinely wish Iran wouldn’t stop until they could make demands of Israel (would be hilarious if among their demands was that Iranian investigators be allowed into the country to ensure Israel will not break their ceasefire)
