I'm personally more concerned with the reaction of other threshold states that may be watching and reconsidering their stance in light of what's happened in Ukraine and Iran. Think Taiwan, South Korea....Oh, I agree.
But if Trump surgically bombs, seemingly ending both the ongoing nuke program and ongoing hostilities, why would he not be looked upon kindly?
Trump announces ceasefire.Oh, I agree.

Its 2:30am right now in the middle-east, maybe we'll hear confirmation tomorrow??No confirmation from Tel Aviv nor Tehran
Iran is far from nuke development free.He finished the Israeli job in a surgical manner, quickly and with no loss of life or equipment, ending the hostilities, and leaving the region nuclear-development-free.
There of course are many detractors such as myself. But if peace indeed occurs, I think looking back in time Trump will get good regards.
TACO has continually been failing on his "diplomatic" attempts. See: Ukraine, Greenland, Israel/Gaza and publicly whined that he wasnt getting a NPP.
So he reversed course to the opposite...war.Gotta get that recognition and attention somehow.
Yeah - but for whatever reason, he took the off-ramp after the Iranian attack, so you gotta' give him that.
Trump announces ceasefire.
Iran denies receiving any ceasefire proposal.
CNN reports ceasefire talks going on.
I'll wait till the Guns of August go silent.
Because we have no idea what bunker monsters are capable of and how deep these underground facilities are and there's just no way of knowing that?Again, we don't know what we accomplished.
Do you know how difficult it would be to move uranium in the dead of night and not be seen by satellites?We don't know if the active areas suffered damage, nor do we know if the enriched materials were even there.
Don't know what?If the U.S. military, Israel, and the IAEA don't know, how is you purport to?
OK.I wasn't sure what you were supporting. Thanks!
Glass 1/2 full or glass 1/2 empty?However even if just wishing for a regime change, we have no idea what may emerge? It could be ISIS, for all we know?
Agreed, provided the cease fire holds, and there's progress at the negotiation table towards a more peaceful ME.But in that case, yeah - I too would like to see a change to a better governance. Though I'm surely not going to suggest we go in and try to do it, nor am I going to say it's likely. I suspect these unilateral unprovoked attacks have solidified & unified the Iranian people and their government.
The good news is it appears America's involvement in this saga may be over.
Who, or what, makes you believe such foolish ideas?Unless you-know-who changes his mind,
which would be horrendous.

He's like King George III, the 'mad king'.First, we have to hope that the ceasefire exists. Neither Iran nor Israel have confirmed any such thing, and we know that Donald likes imagine things in his head. (He also claims to have 200 trade deals "completely done" weeks ago that nobody has heard any examples of.)
Iran is far from nuke development free.
This is 1 step of many
True if he's not going to make a retributive attack based on Iran's attack on our facility today.

Don't know what?
We may need to wait until tomorrow for Iran and Israel to be made aware of the ceasefire. It wouldn't be surprising if the whole thing was made up by Donald Trump with no participation by either Iran or Israel.Its 2:30am right now in the middle-east, maybe we'll hear confirmation tomorrow??

Might they be the same sources as the ones who are saying that Trump bombed Iran's nuclear facilities 'on a whim?'
Yeah, the best thing to do is wait to see if anybody actually stops shooting. In terms of clear announcements by either Iran or Israel, as of this post the only data point we have is that Israel expanded the evacuation zones in Tehran after Trump announced the ceasefire.I'm going to wait for this guy to come to the podium in the press room to tell us the truth. I trust his word over anyone in the Trump administration right now.
So it's possible they dropped their bombs and a giant sea monster swallowed them up?They don't know what, if anything, they accomplished.
We've got to understand the Iranian populace's perspective on what occurred:
Hardly 'unprovoked', given Iran's behavior in the region since Biden has taken office.Iran was unilaterally & unprovokingly attacked by their arch-enemy. Then the U.S., an entity they see as all-powerfully meddling, joined-in.
Of course they're furious. Why wouldn't they be?

No way!
So there were no bombs there were no bombers and there was no nuclear facility is there even an Iran?You know, it's actually starting to look like you might be right.
Yeah I think dropping bombs on our country probably something that weighs hard on you.Did you see his Tweet to Russia, several posts up?
He sounds like he's having a nervous breakdown.
