It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL."

The bullshitter is bullshitting us again. He "claims" there is a ceasefire...no verification.

This part of his tweet caught my eye:

in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!)


So, a ceasefire but they need to complete any pre-planned missions...kill each other, launch a few more attacks. perhaps take a few hostages?!

Then what? Will they all join hands and sing a few rounds of Kumbaya?!



TY for the text, Mosby.

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!

Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!”

That seems odd. Why would the side who has to cease first accept such a deal?

What kind of psychotic shit is going on here? For "12 hours"? Then says the war will be considered "Ended" after the ceasefire is over? Does he know what a "ceasefire" is?

Soon Trump will announce Iran violated the ceasefire they “totally absolutely” agreed to, justifying more US intervention. “TREATY BROKEN! IRAN MUST PAY!!”

US President Donald Trump says Israel and Iran have agreed to a "complete and total ceasefire"

Trump says the ceasefire is set to take effect in the coming hours

Iran and Israel are yet to confirm a ceasefire has been reached

Earlier, Iran launched missiles at a US airbase in Qatar in response to strikes on its nuclear sites on Saturday

Trump said there were no US or Qatari casualties, called the Iranian response "very weak" and thanked Iran for "early notice" of it

Qatar said all the missiles aimed at the US-run Al Udeid base were intercepted and labelled the attack a "flagrant violation"

Probably, the insane Felon demanded that the NATO Allies help him with his Regime Change/ Nation-building in Iran.
And NATO's members denied his plea, because their intelligence agencies have already told them that there are no WMD in Iran. Plus, they ain't gonna send their troops to the war that was fabricated by FelonTraitorTrump and his Felon pal Bibi.

Iran agreed to a US-proposed ceasefire after talks mediated by Qatar, diplomat says

https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-us-strikes-06-23-25-intl-hnk#cmc9r9ctc000n3b7esamtyi0a

The article is clear to say that there's been no confirmation from either government.
