5. There was. Kind of. It was cooked up by Netanyahu who played Trump

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.
