      wait what ahaha seriously? this is going to be the most “we actually lost” victory Trump is going to declare. can’t wait for him to call this “deal” (no lmao) a peaceful cessation of power and a success. iran couldn’t get more out of this if they tried.

    The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives

    Ok, so you don’t need a ceasefire, you need to just fucking leave.

      I know you guys really love your twee little catchphrase but how did he chicken out when his demands were met? Iran are the ones who folded, at least for now.

      **oh nevermind, Iran is saying he agreed to their 10 point plan. If that’s true then lmao, the whole civilization ending thing was probably staged to let him save some face.

      ***if it’s not in reference to specifically today’s deadline to open the strait then the subtext of saying TACO here is that you’re calling him a coward for not continuing the war. weird take but ok.

        when his demands were met?

        were they?

        Iran did not give up its uranium, nor was there regime change. The only thing he got was getting the strait open, but that was never a problem before the war he started.

          I assumed they were saying he chickened out of today’s deadline to open the strait. Which doesn’t make sense because Iran agreed to that specific demand. I did not consider that maybe they were calling him a coward for not doubling down and continuing the war.

          Sure I guess you can call him a coward for not doubling down and not technically be wrong. Wouldn’t occur to me to do that though.

        Have we actually heard anything directly from Iran about this, or just Trumps blabbering? Just because Trump said it doesn’t make it so.

          The demand was open the strait or get bombed, they agreed to open the strait as a condition of the ceasefire.

          This is like getting mugged, handing over your wallet, and then saying ‘hah, I knew you were too much of a coward to stab me.’

            Do you remember why the strait was closed in the first place.

            This is like knocking over someone’s sand castle, getting your ass beat for it, they agree to stop if you rebuild the sand castle, you do and declare victory

              Sorry I thought “trump is a coward for not doubling down and doing a ground invasion” was too stupid of a position to take. I assumed they were saying he chickened out of today’s deadline to open the strait.

                It is, the right position is he should have never started it the first place. Now he’ll scream victory and leave. Only costed millions, if not billions, of dollars and thousands of lives. Such success

              Ok, it’ll make sense to say XD TACO if they reneg and Trump doesn’t follow through. But they’ve agreed to open the strait or there is no ceasefire agreement.

                  consider at least reading the headline of the post you’re commenting on

                  *“agrees” heavily implies two parties. CNN is not such a clickbait rag that they would have framed it like that with a looming deadline less than 2 hours away if it was just trump saying some shit unilaterally.

    What bothers me is that the Iranians seem to take this bait literally without being too critical. They’re basically saying that they’re ready to open the strait right away for negotiations to happen, even when Trump bombed their country during the previous ones. I think they will come to regret this.

      Take the bait? Look, playing chess with a pigeon is difficult. Given the terms listed out, someone took bait, but I don’t think it was Iran.

      They will. All it will take is a few drones from Iran atracking Israel after the cease fire and then the narrative will be “Iran violated the ceasefire, bombing will continue and now Europe has to help keep the strait open”.

      Maybe Iran will commit to the ceasefire in the same way Israel committed to the Gaza ceasefire?

    Did Iran agree to a ceasefire? I’d totally believe Trump just said this to manipulate the markets.

      Their Foreign Minister did reply to the proposal, promising to open the strait, their only leverage, for the duration of the negotiations.
