Shit OP

The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday evening after a last-minute diplomatic intervention led by Pakistan, canceling an ultimatum from Donald Trump for Iran to surrender or face widespread destruction.

Trump’s announcement of the ceasefire agreement came less than two hours before the US president’s self-imposed 8pm Eastern time deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges in a move that legal scholars, as well as officials from numerous countries and the Pope, had warned could constitute war crimes.

Just hours earlier, Trump had written on Truth Social: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” B-52 bombers were reported to be en route to Iran before the ceasefire agreement was announced.

But by Tuesday evening, Trump announced that a ceasefire agreement had been mediated through Pakistan, whose prime minister Shehbaz Sharif had requested the two-week peace in order to “allow diplomacy to run its course”.

Trump wrote in a post that “subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks”.

In the two weeks, Trump said, he believed the US and Iran could negotiate over a 10-point proposal made by Tehran that would allow an armistice to be “finalized and consummated”.

“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” he continued. “The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, issued a statement shortly after Trump’s announcement saying Iran had agreed to the ceasefire.

“For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordinating with Iran’s Armed Forces,” he wrote.

The sudden about-face will allow Trump to step back as the US war in Iran has dragged on for five weeks with little sign that Tehran is ready to surrender or release its hold on the strait of Hormuz, a conduit for a fifth of the global energy supply, where traffic has slowed to a trickle.

Israel will also agree to the two-week ceasefire, Axios reported, citing an Israeli official, adding that the ceasefire would enter effect as soon as the blockade of the strait of Hormuz ceased.

Trump had earlier rejected the 10-point plan as “not good enough” but the president has set deadlines before and allowed them to pass over the five weeks of the conflict. Yet he insisted on Tuesday the ensuing hours would be “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World” unless “something revolutionarily wonderful” happened, with “less radicalized minds” in Iran’s leadership.

Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s representative at the UN, said that Trump’s threats constituted “incitement to war crimes – and potentially genocide”.

During a security council session on the strait of Hormuz, Iravani said: “Iran will not stand idle in the face of such egregious war crimes. It will exercise, without hesitation, its inherent right of self-defence and will take immediate and proportionate reciprocal measures.”

Through his spokesperson, the UN secretary-general, António Guterres, issued a reminder on Monday that attacking civilian infrastructure is banned under international law, but Trump declared on the same day he was “not at all” concerned about being called a war criminal.

In the hours before Trump’s deadline, Israel mounted its own attacks on Iran’s infrastructure. A rail bridge in the central city of Kashan was one of the first reported bombed on Tuesday by Iranian state media, with two people reportedly killed as Israel’s military said it had launched “a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting dozens of infrastructure sites”.

A bridge over a railway line near Karaj, to the north-west of Tehran, was hit, according to Iranian media, and power outages were reported in the same city after a substation and transmission lines were bombed. Bridges near Qom and Tabriz were also reportedly hit.

The US also struck 50 military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island, the home to its main oil export terminal, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had attacked Saudi Arabia’s Jubail petrochemical complex in retaliation for strikes on an Iranian petrochemical facility the night before.

How the fuck is it biased when it's stated exactly what happened?

Trump threatened to destroy Iran. Iran shit itself and asked for a ceasefire and promised to open the strait, exactly what trumps demands were. So he said "OK cool. Call back the bombers". How does that not make sense?

Oh, did you want him wipe iran out and that's why you call him Chicken? Ah, he's not a monster, just a genius tactician. Besides you were all complaining that what he was doing was wrong anyway so make up your minds children.

>>1504314
god you're esl

>Iran shit itself and asked for a ceasefire and promised to open the strait, exactly what trumps demands were.
No they didn't lmao. They said "yeah we'll start letting you pay the toll to get through if you agree to stop attacking us". Trump talked big and then fucking lost.

>>1504314
>>1504313
How can that make sense to the rest of the world with that which can't make up its mind: if it actually has one in that senility-ridden tumor that is an excuse for a 'brain'? Oh, and speaking of which:
>make up your minds
That which said up to late 2024 'No more foreign wars':

The duality of the hypocrite. But enough about Trumptards who claimed that Harris would start a war.

>Iran allowed to charge tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz
This is a disaster of epic proportions. Trump just made them richer.

>>1504285
>got regime change
He didn't, the ayatollah regime is still intact
>neutralised Iran
He didn't
>got the strait open too
The strait was already open before Trump attacked Iran, and Iran didn't charge ships passing through

I'll believe it when they make it two weeks, because there's been quite a few ceasefires violated prematurely lately.

>>1504326
Literally any agreement that leaves Iran in control of who does and does not come through the Strait is an objective victory for them over the US. Simultaneously, it is likely the only form of agreement they'll accept.

>>1504326
No one made Iran richer than Barack Obama…

>>1504336
Trump begs to differ.

>>1504336
Until today.

>>1504316
Whats esl?

>>1504356
He is hinting that you have a low level of comprehension of the english language, are foreign (that's an insult apparently) and are misunderstanding what Trump says.

"ESL stands for English as a Second Language, which refers to programs designed to teach English to non-native speakers living in English-speaking environments. These programs help learners improve their language skills for communication, work, and daily life."

The ten points that Iran got Trump to agree to.

1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again

2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire

3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon (Israel has already broke this one)

4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran (placed to stop nuclear research)

5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies (what Israel is doing to Palestine, Lebanon, Oman, etc)

6. In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz

7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship

8. Iran would split these fees with Oman

9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz

10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations

>>1504328
The Americans usually stick to ceasefires. The real problem is that Israel want a ceasefire with Iran but not with Hezbollah and the Iranians are saying that any ceasefire has to apply to the whole region so including Lebanon (and Gaza).
If Trump is satisfied with the straits being open then it’s on him to keep the Zionists in line because if they don’t respect the ceasefire in Lebanon then Iran may close the straits again and we’re back to yesterday

>>1504359
>hormuz fee
missed opportunity here they could’ve called it the trump tariff

>>1504363
>trump jizya

>>1504359
All of this to open the strait which was open before the war. Tard of the deal.

Over 3000 dead too

>>1504357
Ah thanks. It's odd cos i actually used to teach esl but i thought 'he can't possibly mean that, cos you can't BE esl. It;s not used that way.'

But you explained it clearly.

good. 3000 less genetically inferior viruses that can go and mess up white countries,

Obama gave them $1.7 billion dollars of their own money that we had frozen in 1979 as part of a nuclear agreement. Trump is giving them $130 million dollars a day (that's the amount in shipping fees they'll be charging based on shipping traffic) in perpetuity. In just the 14 day ceasefire they'll have made $1.8 billion and will continue to make $1.8 billion every two weeks forever.

Those fees will be passed along from shipping companies to processors to you and me in the form of higher energy prices. Enjoy!

>>1504383
3000+ extended families with legacy grievances against the US and Israel for unnecessary violence, it’s their 9/11

>>1504285
Cultists so desperate to try to spin this into a win. Literally billion a of our tax dollars and us military dead so we could be in the exact same spot we were a month ago except now their will be a whole new generation of Iranians who hate America for bombing their families.

>>1504384
Trump isn’t giving them anything, they’re taking it as war spoils

>>1504386
oh, and every single gas purchase now has a permanent indirect tax that goes to iran lmao.

>>1504384
>Trump is giving them $130 million dollars a day (that's the amount in shipping fees they'll be charging based on shipping traffic)
Actually seeing as normal strait activity is about 120-140 ships going through per day and their apparent average fee is 2 million, it's actually closer to $240 million per day.

Trump bombing them is legitimately the best thing to ever happen to Iran's economy.

>>1504391
The toll is fake news. There is no toll to cross the straight.

>>1504392
>The toll is fake news. There is no toll to cross the straight.
yeah yeah and we've always been at war with Eastasia, there is no war in Ba Sing Se, and Trump is 6'2.

>>1504391
When they restart their nuclear program they'll have officially won the war with America

>Straight closed cause Israel attacked Lebanon

>>1504395
They never had a nuclear weapons program but yeah

>>1504397
Then what the fuck were we bombing last year?

Nobody has shown the courage, resolve, and intelligence that Trump has shown throughout this.

>>1504413
Nuclear enrichment facilities that could be used for a weapons program if they ever developed one.

But yeah, the Supreme Leader we blew up had a standing religious ban on nuclear weapons.

>>1504417
>But yeah, the Supreme Leader we blew up had a standing religious ban on nuclear weapons.
Wonder if his son was the same. Especially after this.

>>1504387
Taking war spoils for a war they didn't start and you guys said they lost? Those are called concessions anon - Trump is conceding to Iran's demand to militarily manage the Strait and take a toll in order to save face/short oil futures.

>>1504391
It's $240 million a day but Qatar is getting 50% of that.

>>1504392
“We're thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It's a way of securing it -- also securing it from lots of other people,” he said when asked whether he would allow Tehran to charge tolls for shipping. "It's a beautiful thing.” Literally from DJT himself. The MAGA Olympics are open - let's go to the mental gymnastics arena.

It's Oman not Qatar

Oh let's not forget he's doing all this shit after cutting the "wokies" out of the armed forces IE the people he would probably need right now for logistical support but because they aren't a 6'5" foot gorilla with an 80 IQ from the Iowa oblasts whose primarily education is football plays then he doesn't want them.

Iran FM says US must choose ceasefire or war via Israel

The US must choose between continued war via Israel or a ceasefire, Iran’s FM says.
“The conditions for a ceasefire between Iran and the United States are clear and explicit: America must choose either a ceasefire or the continuation of war through Israel; both cannot coexist,” Araghchi wrote on Telegram.
“The world is witnessing the killings in Lebanon. Now the ball is in America’s court, and global public opinion is watching to see whether this country will fulfill its commitments or not.”

Ongoing attacks despite ceasefire

An oil refinery on Iran’s Lavan Island came under attack at around 10 a.m. local time on Wednesday, according to PRESS TV, despite a two-week ceasefire agreement announced hours earlier. Firefighters were working to contain the blaze.

The United Arab Emirates Defense Ministry said on Wednesday afternoon that its air defense had intercepted dozens of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones.

Kuwait’s said it has intercepted an “extensive wave” of drone attacks targeting oil and power facilities despite the ceasefire announcement, according to AP.

Bahrain also reported drone attacks.
