🚨 US PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” – a “double sided CEASEFIRE.”

🔸Trump says he will pause planned strikes on Iran for two weeks after talks with Pakistan’s leadership, conditioning the move on Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
▫️The pause is contingent on the “COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz.”

🔸Trump claims the U.S. has “met and exceeded all Military objectives.”

🔸Says a “10 point proposal from Iran” is now a “workable basis” for a broader deal.

🔸Adds the sides are “very far along with a definitive Agreement” on long-term peace.

🔸He described the two-week window as time to “finalize and consummate” a wider agreement to end the war.

    So DJT saw that there was nowhere to go but nuke and that it would be career if not literal suicide for him to do so, and then - without actually speaking with Iran - uses this big doomsday countdown to signal a big negotiations win by just accepting Iran’s terms outright? No negotiation? No whittling down? So is the 2 week period to withdrawal all US troops from the region? I cannot imagine this is genuine but also they’re out of fucking interceptors so maybe???

      The 10 point plan is mostly untenable for the US. We could see some assets unfrozen or sanctions lifted, but the US isn’t withdrawing from military bases. Even those financial concessions would be too much of a political loss for the US to stomach.

    trump’s MO from the beginning is fucking shit up and then claiming the response as a victory, if this sticks and isn’t just BS with the Iranians coming back with “we didn’t say that actually” a few hours later then the whole war will be exactly as I predicted from the beginning based on this stupid pattern of Trump’s.

    Hundreds (thousands?) of innocent people died because Trump thought it would boost his numbers doomer

    I can’t help but wonder if this ghoul is still talking to himself. I am afraid he might just sit the wrong way in the toilet tomorrow and decide to nuke the peoplenof Iran. I hope Iran can find lasting peace because even here in lemmy the nato warhogs seemnto be drooling at the idea of killing Iranians. All wrapped out innthus fake concern for their freedoms.

    Trump: causes problem

    Victims of the problem: WTF defends themselves

    Trump: I have reached an agreement to solve the problem that I caused because I am good at the art of the deal

    Victims of the problem: We have not made an agreement. We don’t know what he’s talking about

    Rinse and repeat forever

      Fell for it again award goes to Iran. When you finally have them by the balls you don’t do this. If Trump sees you backing down he takes it as a sign he can negotiate in bad faith and lie and cheat you out of your demands. He now knows your line and what he thinks he can do to violate right up to it again and again.

      I somehow knew they would fold in the end. Nothing ever happens gang wins again it seems.

      rant

      And I suppose it’s understandable but it’s also why I don’t see the empire falling anytime soon. Everyone they target, even the big regional players like Iran folds under pressure every single time. Even when they don’t get what they want, they don’t lose either. America won’t be seen as humiliated by this affair at all really given it didn’t last long enough. Because everyone is averse to standing up too strongly to the the US.

      If the US cannot get Iran to hand over or further entomb the nuclear materials I predict a special forces raid to attempt to seize them once Iran stands down its guard. Iran will complain but ultimately just go back to enriching again rather than closing the strait again if the US succeeds with more planning and better surprise.

      It’s frustrating to have been so close to the empire really feeling some real pain, real end of empire hours only for old Donny to wriggle his way out of it.

        I mean, this all depends on whether re-staffing the abandoned/destroyed military bases is part of the deal. If the bases stay closed the empire is genuinely diminished. And that’s a good thing for our ability to operate in domestic politics. A left leader while we have bases open in S Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Poland is social fascists/democratic at the very best. If the US is forced out of the region in anyway its a progression towards the end of the empire

        Y’all need to chill, take a step back and reassess the situation with a level head once more info is available. If you think you’ve anything to teach the IRGC about American mendaciousness and having eyes on your back when negotiating with them, you need to check your chauvinism pronto

        idk I think it depends on what the IRGC views as its war goal. They not only reminded the whole Western world why they can’t go to war with Iran, they boosted oil prices, secured rents on crossing the strait, and blew up a bunch of literally irreplaceable strategic assets in the region. The aftermath here, in terms of states, is Iran in a much stronger position than they were before the war in some ways, although the destroyed factories, infrastructure, and lost lives are a bitter pill to swallow, it’s not like the Iranians are at fault for any of that, all they could do once the US pulled the trigger was shoot back with everything they had.

        The real check of their “fell for it again” award status will be over the next year. If Iran doesn’t have a successful nuclear weapons test (confirmed by international seismometers) by the end of 2027, they get the biggest FFIA award on the planet.

        Makes me think Trump really did threaten to nuke them. Not sure how else to explain the about face, they’ve been pretty firm, even gleeful, in denying any amount of negotiation except for the US’s complete withdrawal.

          Even if trump really was running his mouth, the calculus of MAD and nuclear warfare demands that every other nuclear armed state takes the threat dead serious.

          I suspect the moment his post went out every diplomatic and military side channel was lit up with calls from Russia, China, Pakistan etc telling the US to sit their boy down.

          Failing to do so would mean fatally weakening deterrence. The yanks may think themselves safe half a world away, and trump lives in his own invented reality, but no one in the Eurasian continent will stand for this bullshit.

      Statement on two-week ceasefire from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council

      The following is a statement by the Supreme National Security Council of Iran on the two-week ceasefire and the conditions for negotiations:

      These negotiations will begin in Islamabad with complete distrust of the American side, and Iran will allocate two weeks for these negotiations. This time can be extended by agreement of the parties.

      It is necessary to maintain complete national unity during this period and to continue the celebrations of victory with strength.

      The current negotiations are national negotiations and a continuation of the field, and it is necessary for all people, elites, and political groups to trust and support this process, which is under the supervision of the revolutionary leaders and the highest levels of the system, and to strictly avoid any divisive statements.

      If the surrender of the enemy in the field becomes a decisive political achievement in the negotiations, we will celebrate this great historical victory together, otherwise we will fight side by side in the field until all the demands of the Iranian nation are achieved.

      Our hands are on the trigger, and as soon as the slightest mistake by the enemy is made, it will be responded to with full force.

      Supreme National Security Council
