Iran acknowledged the ceasefire via multiple channels including this one:

And Isreal supposedly said there was a cease fire:
"Netanyahu agreed to the ceasefire and said Israel would not conduct any more strikes as long as Iran stopped launching missiles, the White House official said."

And we all know Trump says there was a ceasefire.
Not sure why people are trying to spread misinfo on this topic.

(19,011 posts)then shithole, I guess, wanted a cease fire without actually negotiating a damn thing.
Iran knew nothing about it. Then hours later, both Iran and Israel acknowledged it.
So I believe it was a ruse.

(2,590 posts)of a ceasefire accepted it as fact, because Trump said so - even while saying that there had been no confirmation from either Israel or Iran that they'd agreed to a ceasefire.
If they wobble towards one now, it wasn't clear-cut at the start.

What did Israel get? Iran?

(232 posts)Vance was dispatched to get Iran on board. Iran said hell no at first when it was being shoved down their throat then softened when told Israel had agreed and said they would abide by one as long as Israel didn't lob anything at them in which case all bets were off.
Israel refused to publicly announce their agreement to this so called ceasefire Netanyahu played Trump with and informed their pols not to comment on it, but it was reported in Israeli papers as "Trump says". Later Israeli Likud papers were quoting an "anonymous official". It was clearly a ploy.
I wrote last night that Iran was being set up to so Israel could claim they violated the ceasefire and then bomb the shit out of them. Which is precisely what happened.
So, basically there was the concept of a ceasefire and Trump was played like a fiddle, the realization which has angered him. It was another ruse.
At least that's how I saw and still see it.

(3,100 posts)Iran is being bombed again. Regime change is the goal.
Honestly, who in their right mind, knowing Israel's history of manipulating and sabotaging ceasefires, and intent to eliminate any threats to its hegemony, did NOT see that coming??
Trump really is that stupid and Netanyahu really is that evil.

(3,668 posts)history of habitual lying.
However, after both countries reluctantly agreed to a ceasefire, it befuddles why some would continue to deny it.
By appearances, one might think that some would hope that it isn't valid or fails because it would give trump credit for it.
Of course trump created the situation in the first place by walking away from the Obama Iran nuclear deal, which I suspect most of the public has conveniently forgotten about.
but denying that a ceasefire was negotiated, with the help of Qatar, just because trump announced it, makes those pushing that line look quite silly.

Trump is furious at Israel this morning for bombing Iran after his cease fire was announced, and says heâs ânot happy with Israelâ and they âdonât know what the fuck theyâre doing.â

(60,349 posts)and he did so on truth social. A joint announcement including the warring parties would be more typical and the timing would be more straight forward - ie one specific time for both.
Even then, in any ceasefire I can remember, there is reporting on ANY attack, even as all parties agree that the ceasefire is still in effect.
With all ceasefires, whether it ends the fighting will only be known as time passes. It is still too early.
Things it is probably too early to really know:
1. Is Iran's nuclear program completely gone, weakened, or driven underground elsewhere and motivated to make a bomb?
2. Will Israel agree to permanently not attack Iran or will they work to destabilize it and get regime change.
3. Would actions by the Houthies or Hezbollah count as violations by Iraq.
4. Is Gaza to be seen as a proxy war on Iran's part?
A ceasefire is good, but a ceasefire is just that -stopping the current round of fighting. That in an area with enough different conflicts it hurts my head to even think about the overall situation.
One interesting situation is the extremely vain, childish Trump now is unlikely to be completely in line with Bibi.

EDIT: And, actually just reading through some other articles, there are much more reputable news outlets that have reported that Iran did NOT agree to the ceasefire, so please delete or edit your OP since your claims and sources appear to be the misinformation here:
The apparent ceasefire agreement which Iranian officials never formally confirmed they had begun honoring appeared to falter within just a couple hours early Tuesday.

(9,171 posts)Trump -- who you took at his word earlier, so you believe him now, too, yes? -- confirmed as much, saying, "Iran violated it, but Israel violated it too."
Face it: all three sides are well known liars and it's not surprising that a hastily announced ceasefire by the orange dipshit either was never agreed to or it fell through almost immediately. Either way, it's not misinformation to report the clusterfuck as the clusterfuck that it is.

Vance was in charge of getting Iran on board with Israel's little ceasefire proposal to Trump and wasn't quite done convincing them when they printed what you linked to. But yeah, that was their initial reaction when Trump made his grandiose announcement of that half-baked concept of a ceasefire as if it was already a done deal.
I have no doubt he thought it was a done deal when he did, but it takes two to ceasefire and Iran wasn't on board yet

(232 posts)I am correctly pointing out to you that Iran International is a propaganda channel and not a channel for the Iranian government. It is your phrasing in the initial post that is wrong.

(84,174 posts)The tweet says that "Iranian state media said a ceasefire between Iran and Israel came into effect at 7:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday." You don't like the messenger, but you don't seem to be arguing about the message.
I also quoted an Axios article saying that Netanyahu agreed to the ceasefire, which used the WH as a source. I didn't speak with Netanyahu myself.
You said you needed a better source, which I provided.

So it might be time to acknowledge the cease fire existed. (This is starting to sound like election denial)

I was just quibbling with your assertion in the OP that Iran officially acknowledged earlier than that via a UK-based propaganda outlet.
