Another twist in the conflict in the Middle East: President Donald Trump announced Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total” ceasefire, bringing an end to a short but intense conflict that began earlier this month. The announcement was made via Trump’s TruthSocial account. He said he and the White House have brokered the agreement personally.
The ceasefire comes after 12 days of escalating violence that began on June 13, when Israel launched an airstrike on suspected Iranian nuclear facilities. The attack set off a cascade of retaliatory actions, including US strikes on Iranian targets and an Iranian missile barrage on a US military base in Qatar, which occurred Monday but caused no damage to the American base..
Trump said the ceasefire would unfold in a staged sequence: Iran is to begin a 12-hour pause in hostilities, followed by a reciprocal 12-hour pause by Israel. The war would be declared officially over 24 hours after the initial pause, ending what Trump refers to as the “12 Day War.”
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE… for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!” Trump posted. He praised the leadership in both nations for what he called “stamina, courage, and intelligence,” and warned that a prolonged conflict “could have destroyed the entire Middle East.”
The ceasefire is reportedly scheduled to begin early Tuesday morning Tehran time, roughly six hours after Trump’s announcement. According to the proposed timeline, Iran will halt hostilities first to allow the staged de-escalation process to begin, with Israel following 12 hours later. There has been no immediate confirmation of the agreement from Tehran or Jerusalem.
Who else could have ordered one of the most successful rope-a-dopes in history, destroyed Iran’s nuclear program and then brokered a peace deal all in the span of 48 hours. Oh, and don’t forget the histrionics of the (D)emocrats and a few RINOs. Where’s that impeachment talk now, b*tches?
If this comes true. Trump’s actions on this conflict will have to be considered a master stroke. We decapitated Iran’s nuclear threat without any real harm. (And WITHOUT brining us to war!) Fulfilling his commitment to Iran not having a nuclear weapon and stopping a prolonged conflict or near-future nuclear terrorist threat.
Why would one not believe Iran wants peace with Israel and America? I mean when has Iran ever lied, to anyone? And maybe Alaska could start receiving humanitarian aid from Iran. How awesome would that be? I always knew those Mullets were good guys!
And word has it that P Diddy has agreed to stop abusing women.What a great news day!
Wow, there’s going to be a lot of backtracking from a lot of people.
Let “Bebe” tell it like it is:

Another Trump victory. Pretty soon, The Donald will be building another golf course and Trump Tower in Tehran. …..And offering the mullahs a five-night special, serving kosher food, red wine, and free LGBTQ seminars near the pool.
The first 3 holes already completed
To whom will the Nobel committee offer a peace prize this year? The Iranian mullahs? Putin? Zelenskyy? Maybe “The Squad.” How about Chuck U. Schumer?
You all know it won’t be the Donald.
Manley, I nominate that for post of the year, and you’re 110% correct.
