Trump announces Israel and Iran have agreed on a ceasefire

Source: CBS News

President Trump announced Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed on a "Complete and Total" ceasefire, a move he said would end a more than week-long conflict between the two countries.

The ceasefire will start in about six hours, and after 12 hours, the "War will be considered, ENDED," Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social, indicating that the ceasefire would begin at midnight ET.

"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," the president said.

So far, every foray regarding other countries has been a complete,
pathetic failure.

Other world leaders just think of him, and treat him, asa the pathetic,
idiotic clown that he is.

Except for Bibi, I guess, who is using him for his own ends.

And this foray is not turning out well for him or the USA, so
soon he'll have to try something else.

Didn't he announce some cease fires between Russia and Ukraine? No word from Iran or Israel last I heard. Reuters reported, "Trump declared a ceasefire minutes after each side threatened new attacks." And "CNN reported shortly before Trump's post that Iran had not received any ceasefire proposal and saw no reason for one, citing a senior Iranian official." And, "Trump appeared to suggest that Israel and Iran would have some time to complete any missions that are underway, at which point the ceasefire would begin in a staged process." And , "There was no immediate comment from Israel on Trump's statement."

Guess I'll have to wait and see.

From Iranian state sanctioned media

Iran comments on ceasefire reports with Israeli regime
TEHRAN, Jun. 24 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reacted to the claims made by US President Donald Trump on a ceasefire between Iran and the Israeli regime.

"As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around," Araghchi wrote on X.

"As of now, there is NO "agreement" on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards," he stressed.

"The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later," he concluded.

It's true. But is based on the fact that neither side can do anything that appears to be breaking the agreement.
Bibi will break this agreement as he needs war!

And I can't but help feel this has all been nothing more than a few acts out of a very bad play.

Krasnov says I'm going to do something in maybe 2 weeks
Iran moves it's stockpile
Bibi clears the way for an attack
Krasnov hits the Iranian targets. Damage is not yet confirmed
Iran tells Qatar it's going to attack the US military posts
Qatar takes measures, closing it's air space and making sure people get to safety
Iran conducts precision bombings of us bases. And only dropping the same amount of bombs that the US dropped
Drunk Russian guy says countries will supply Iran with warheads
Putin says the attacks on iran were not justified
Putin says he will help Iranian people and find a way out of the situation (that was yesterday)
Today there's a ceasefire agreement and Krasnov is taking credit for it

Am I really off my ever lovin' rocker in thinking this was a complicated plan to make Krasnov a hero?
