Trump says Iran and Israel agree to a ceasefire

There will always be members of Trump's shrinking Opposition who will grumble eternally about his moral failures as if such complaints are somehow going to diminish his political victories.
Elections have consequences and the Dems are desperate for an electoral win. Maybe next year.
Do you think this is situation is a political victory?
 
The comment you replied to was posted 8 hours ago, prior to Israel's retaliation, Trump's comment came when Israel was deciding to retaliate to Iran's violation. There is a ceasefire agreement.
You've seen it? :unsure:
 
Can you elaborate on that?
Start with USS Liberty, then Pollard's "hero" welcome home after Israel sold American intelligence to the Russians, then the Palestinian land grabbing to such an extent as to make a 2 state solution next to impossible, then the refusal to capitulate to the 10/7 hostage demands which cost the lives of many of those hostages - including the ones that were shot by the IDF - despite the pleas of anguished families to see to their release, then the ongoing occupation and annihilation of Gaza through the murderous bombing and shooting of women and children amounting to the tens of thousands, then starving them, then the assault on Iran beginning with multiple assassinations in Iran, all to provoke a war that Israel prefers not to fight without US financial and military support, then the constant Israeli siphoning off of American taxpaid dollars in the billions, then all the illegal settlements on the West Bank, shall I go on??
 
Yeah, normal people will recognize that he got us into Israel/Iran militarily, hit some spots with questionable effectiveness, and then started tweeting about a ceasefire. Normal people will see that. Normal people will know that this isn't going to magically solve some multi-decade dispute between Israel and Iran
Is the ME closer to peace now than under Biden?

Let see.
Iran and Israel escalated. Check.
Israel still genociding Palestinians. Check.
Russian ceasefire on day 1. Nope.

Appears objectively worse in my opinion with the latest escalation.

Wow, this is all new to me.

Yes, please, go on. What else have Jews been up to?

Nobody said Jews and you know it. That's a seriously underhanded and manipulative ploy, NatMorton, especially because the only poster I see here that incessantly mentions or refers to "Jews" is YOU, with posts of utterly baseless accusations of antisemitism

I stand corrected.

But please, go on and tell us more about the those devious and money-siphoning Israelis.
 
What victory lap was that?

I said we should remain optimistic but also cautious in the very first post.
Can you read?



I know you can read.
You weren't doing a victory lap? Then what were you gloating about later in this thread?

I live on the left coast. I have a few more hours of daylight left to gloat.

 
No, I mean cite an example for "... Trump has been treating peaceful people in our country."
Just you asking that question, with everything we see on video about how peaceful migrants/citizens are being treated, is an example of you running cover for Donald Trump. It's funny that you don't even realize that. It's pretty much a self own.

You've never been a Christian, correct?
 
I stand corrected.

But please, go on and tell us more about the those devious and money-siphoning Israelis.
Why should I when it's finally sinking in to the heads of average Americans that they're being used by a foreign government that has been undermining their interests both financially and defensively, and has operated without restraint, challenging world peace and American values with indiscriminate ambushes, sadistic methodologies against neighboring nations and occupied people, blatant assassinations on foreign soil, and capricious, irresponsible missile attacks and bombings to try to embroil good Americans in their unworthy agenda
 
Let see.
Iran and Israel escalated. Check.
Israel still genociding Palestinians. Check.
Russian ceasefire on day 1. Nope.

Appears objectively worse in my opinion with the latest escalation.
As of today, the truce between Iran and Israel appears to be holding despite initial violations by both sides.
Let's hope this continues.
 
Those hoping for a ceasefire, should continue to remain optimistic but cautious. ☮️


After lashing out at Israel and Iran, Trump says the 'ceasefire is in effect'​

Updated June 24, 202512:09 PM ET

President Trump says a ceasefire between Israel and Iran has taken effect, after lashing out earlier Tuesday over alleged violations of the truce he helped broker, and excoriating Israel for its plan to resume strikes on Iran.

"ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly 'Plane Wave' to Iran," the president wrote on social media. "Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!"

snip part of article.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later said its air force struck a radar installation near Tehran, but held off on further strikes. "Pursuant to the conversation between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel has refrained from additional attacks," the Prime Minister's Office statement said.

Honestly it would take at least a month before I’d consider cease fire viable between these guys. I don’t see it happening but here’s to hoping.
