Ed Israel/US Attacks Iran /Yet Another Country/Iran

[TragicMonkey]

So apart from a lot of stuff being blown up and people dead things are just as they were before this started

Some rich people became even richer. Funny how that always seems to happen.

He's bored with it. He wants to play a new game.

When he announced his ceasefire was because Pakistan asked for it, it made me wonder how long he'd had that request in his back pocket. All the time he was cursing and yelling and threatening genocide, he already intended to back down.

Hegseth: Not a single thing we've done has put an American troop in more of a harm's way. We've only sent our troops up to harm Iranian military capabilities, which they've done to devastating fashion and to great success.

Reporter: Are you still encouraging civilians to rise up against the regime?

Hegseth: They have been oppressed by the previous regime and they'll have a new opportunity with this regime

God!

Hegseth: God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of strikes carried out under the protection of divine providence. A massive effort with miraculous protection. God is good.

Reporter: The president threatened to wipe out a civilization—If Iran did not come to the table and make a deal yesterday by the deadline, was the president really prepared to wipe out Iran entirely?

Hegseth: We had a target set locked and loaded

Is he saying that he would have killed the 15 servicemen and wounded another 400 if there hadn't been the war?

Hegseth: To the families of our fallen—your sacrifice was in service of a historic cause. To our Israeli allies—thank you for being a brave, capable and willing ally on this battlefield. To the rest of our so-called allies—they should take some notes

Praise be to Allah for His attention to this matter.

Iran begged!

Hegseth: Iran has been a threat to the United States and the free world for 47 years… No longer—not on our watch. President Trump made history. Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it. They’ve had enough. Operation Epic Fury was a capital V military victory

Maybe Israel could also be given a nudge to stop the bombing now.

I don't think he need worry about his so-called allies. Everyone has been taking copious notes.

Q: You said the president 'chose mercy.' But you yourself said weeks ago that 'we will give no quarter to Iranian troops.' Do you think your comments may have put American troops at risk?

HEGSETH: No. I try to be nice up here, but you did listen to what I said, right? Typical ABC. It was an indictment framed as a question. No, you've had your chance.

We all know it. Or rather, we all know what that smells like.

He's taken lessons from Donald REPORTER: They're still firing ballistic missiles!

HEGSETH: Excuse me. Why are you so rude? Just wait. So nasty

The most believable thing he's said is "I try to be nice up here" and we know that's a lie.

The 10-point plan for the conditional ceasefire, according to Iran


1. Complete cessation of the war on Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen

2. Complete and permanent cessation of the war on Iran with no time limit

3. Ending all conflicts in the region in their entirety

4. Reopening the Strait of Hormuz

5. Establishing a protocol and conditions to ensure freedom and security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz

6. Full payment of compensation for reconstruction costs to Iran

7. Full commitment to lifting sanctions on Iran

8. Release of Iranian funds and frozen assets held by the United States

9. Iran fully commits to not seeking possession of any nuclear weapons

10. Immediate ceasefire takes effect on all fronts immediately upon approval of the above conditions

That's the *English* version of their agreement. The Farsi version apparently included a provision for uranium enrichment.

US and Iran agree to a two-week ceasefire

Iran says it has accepted a two-week ceasefire in the war, and will negotiate with the United States in Islamabad beginning Friday. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he’s pulling back on his threats to widen attacks.

I'd say the ketchup would hit the wall, but we all know he didn't read either one and won't be paying a dime no matter what the little words on the paper say.

A new opportunity to be oppressed, same as the old opportunity to be oppressed. Yay!

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen.

From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation.

Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days.

More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine!

The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace.

Additionally, President Trump got the Strait of Hormuz reopened.

Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace

Sure thing Grannie panties.

Negotiations.

You put in stuff you are prepared to give up in exchange for things the other side are prepared to give up. They have read the book make you claims excessive.
