Iran’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying no dialogue is taking place between the two sides and characterizing Trump’s announcement as part of efforts to lower energy prices and buy time for military planning.

    and buy time for military planning.

    You can’t trust trump to hold to any ceasefire. Hell launch a surprise attack, declare victory immediately, and try to blame victim when you keep fighting.

    It’s the same as Bibi and Vlad do. But when you make your enemies think peace is impossible, you lose all say in when a conflict can end.

    trump fucked up by targeting a country that can unilaterally halt oil shipments.

        No, this is how bullies try to de-escalate.

        If Iran goes along with it, trump will hit them again when they’re not looking.

        They’re going to make him surrender, which will likely include nuclear weapons development if not outright nukes. It’s the only way to ensure another attack doesn’t happen, because only a complete idiot would trust trump and this administration.

        Just walking away isn’t enough to end this. It only takes one willing side to fight a war.
