Iran Accepts Trump’s Ceasefire, Opens Strait of Hormuz for Two Weeks
However, the Supreme National Security Council insisted that the ceasefire means the war ends.
The Associated Press reported that Iran has accepted Trump’s two-week ceasefire: “Iran’s foreign minister says passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be allowed for next 2 weeks under Iranian military management.”
However, the Supreme National Security Council insisted that the ceasefire means the war ends:
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said Wednesday it had accepted a two-week ceasefire in the war.
Its statement said it would negotiate with the United States in Islamabad beginning Friday.
“It is emphasized that this does not signify the termination of the war,” the statement said. “Our hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with full force.”

President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire if Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz:
Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Iran faced an 8 PM ET deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz before Trump promised to obliterate the entire country.
Trump showed he meant what he said when our military struck Iranian military targets on Kharg Island early Tuesday morning.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham spoke to Trump right before she went on air:
The deadline is off, and we have what’s being called a double sided cease fire, a live report from the region in moments.
Now I want to tell you how we were scheduled to start the show. I spent all afternoon writing the script. Started like this, Tiktok t-minus 59 minutes, 30 seconds until Donald Trump’s 8pm deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
But just moments ago, Donald Trump posted this, and it’s the entire Truth Social post where essentially he says based on conversations with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran. And it continues to go on and on.
And I just got off the phone with President Trump. And I will say this. We’ll read the whole post later, we literally just had to rewrite the whole show.
He was extremely serious in my conversation with him just now, and he was also cautiously but seriously optimistic. He told me that the negotiations are and were incredibly complex. He does not want them jeopardized. There still needs to be an announced agreement, and of course, we all know in this part of the world anything can happen.
JUST IN: Laura Ingraham says she just got off the phone with President Trump after he announced a 2-week ceasefire in Iran, says he is "seriously optimistic."

trump right again
iran letting us grab their pu y
Nope! Trump screws up again! The cease fire will allow Iran time to rearm, build more missiles and drones, more time to jerk our feckless negotiators around, etc, etc,…etc. What Trump is doing is exactly what creates endless wars,…The point of the war was because Iran couldn’t be trusted in their agreements and refused to give up the nukes,..This respite does nothing to force Iran into compliance
Build more missiles? Uh huh. Guess who else can build better missiles a whole lot faster, and delivery them to intended targets accurately? And has more resources to mobilize? Do you think we are going to sit on our backsides and not prepare for the quite foreseeable possibility that Iran may not negotiate honestly? You need some new asinine talking points, the old ones are a bit too asinine now.
Tell Israel how our “better missiles” are helping them out
Not sure what you’re suggesting. Because Iran manages to hit one or two civilian targets missile defense is a failure? That US military technology and capabilities are inferior to Iran? Or even more laughably, that Iran, having been epically degraded in its military and industrial infrastructure is somehow victorious? I think you’re taking the useful idiot persona too far.
We’ll see. Let’s give it some time before we all start freaking out and pooping our pants.
This does kind of remine me a little of back when we would bomb the crap out of north Viet Nam, and we would have them by the short hairs, and should have kept on going, but they would beg us to go to the negotiating table, and we did, and they would keep us there long enough to recover and rearm and resupply, and they would be right back at it again, and we would have to start bombing the crap out of them all over again. This happened several times. Rinse and repeat. No idea why you got all the downvotes, seems like history repeating, just in a different part of the world with a much more dangerous people.
of course now the real job is to insure any and all who have helped or will help iran make money and/or fire missiles will meet a timely demise
Cease fires with terrorist regimes never work. I’d rather Trump send Rubio to tell them either they do exactly what we are demanding or they are all going to die. That’s now you negotiate with this kind of regime.
you’re not wrong but this also buys us and israel time too
for whatever we need
like bashing euro “allies” for once again letting us down
Israel will use this time to concentrate on Lebanon and Hezbollah. Notice Trump never said anything about the Houthi’s in Yemen who got out over their skies and declared war on both Israel and the US.
In a normal situation, yes.
Trump kind of needs to stop killing them long enough for there to actually be somebody in charge to surrender, though.
If they refuse, we go right back to killing more leaders.
Exactly
Never trust a muslim
Well put.
No doubt the IRGC mopheads are telling their cannon fodder kids that it was their selfless act and allegiance to the regime that stopped “the western infidels.”
Here is the real problem in my mind: just as Israel can never get a real ceasefire with Hamas, I am concerned that the central government does not have sufficient over its field commanders, and somebody, somewhere is going to do something that will force Israel to retaliate. You can’t whip people into a frenzy for 40 years and expect everybody to be able to just switch off instantly.
In the case of the Hamassholes, “ceasefire” means “elimination.” Anything else will be a failure.
Keep those bombers in the air 24/7 like the freaking Berlin airlift. Decimate them the minute they try any f**kery
In truly lunatic news, Newscum’s insane leftist Harvey Weinstein screwing wife just decided to publicly tell the story of how she’s ‘just like’ the murderers andrapists in San Quentin because she ran over and killed her sister with a golf cart.
AND SHE TOLD IT PUBLICLY WITHOUT PROMPTING, THINKING IT MADE HER LOOK GOOD
and add to the inmates…yours was probably an accident too
Hell no! Did Japn get two weeks to “Negotiate” a deal? No! and we should not let this bunch of murderous thugs get any time to re-arm and hide even more of their drones along the coast of Hormuz. There can be no ships or planes allowed into Iran or they will re-arm from all our enemies like China and North Korea. They must surrender all Uranium they have. They must offer free and fair elections immediately after the war ends. If Trump gets nothing from this but a delay in their nuclear effort, then its all been a big waste of money and lives.
Trump caved on his non condition surrender
Japan actually had multiple days after the July 26 Potsdam Declaration to “think about it.” They chose correctly, in the end, only after getting pounded decisively. You make a valid point that the devil will be in the details. On no account should the Islamo-turds be allowed to catch their breath. It’s not even clear they’ve accepted the agreement in any case–which means all bets are off.
Despite their bluster, if you look at Iran’s 10 points, it seems they have backed down. No mention of right to enrich, keeping ballistic missiles, or reparations.
But now those shrieking about genocide complain about TACO. To them, it has NOTHING to do with Iran, when all is said and done.
2 mil per ship to transit the strait looks like reparations to me.
They won’t get that.
Fake news!
how about we show some real strength and demand that Iran take in
the dnc
“OK, we surrender.”
“(P.S.: That means we win!)”
Since then multiple missile strikes on Israel, UAE and Qatar. Trump better unleash things….
That’s basically the evil Iranian Islamofascist/terrorist regime giving the middle finger to #47. I sure hope he responds, accordingly.
Nearly fifty years of Iranian regime deceit, mendacity and perfidy has proven that a Muslim terrorist’s word is intrinsically worthless. Actually, 1,400-plus years of Islamic history further prove that point.
I consider this the same as The Tet Offensive. Hoping this last attack sways Dems and RINOs to sue for peace.
Funny how the leftists now want Trump to keep bombing the shit out of Iran.
Somehow I don’t believe the Iranian regime has the power to enforce a two week ceasefire on their end nor guarantee freedom of passage to shipping in the Strait. I suspect within 96 hours from announcement (at the outside) there will be attacks launched by Iranian forces or Iranian proxies. If they can keep to a ceasefire for 96 hours I’ll be amazed.
Conflict isn’t pretty. Everyone wants video game style precision with no casualties. Conflict isn’t clean it is very djrty. That’s the point. Everyone demanding ‘surgical’ operations should keep in mind that in a surgery a person is rendered unconscious, put onto a table, naked and helpless… while others cut, poke and prod the body on the table, removing this, inserting that with lots of blood.
I think this is just a delaying tactic. Remember how Hamas dragged out the hostage negotiations? Iran funds Hamas, they run the same playbook.
Can whoever we are negotiating with keep rogue IRGC commanders in line? Hard to say. All it takes is ONE drone attack on a vessel. Ukraine and Russia also came to an “agreement” over the port of Odessa. Russia flaked; Ukraine has to enforce it by blowing up Russian Naval vessels.
If I were wagering, I’d figure DJT and BB are sitll playing this board 6-10 chess moves ahead.
The questions isn’t “if”… nor “when” rather how many Iranian will leaders meet their 72 virgins WHEN they break it. I’m wagering an even dozen.
That time factor cuts both ways.
What happened to unconditional surrender? Madness.
Let’s say it does hold. What then? The regime can continue to kill its citizens because they came out of the woodwork with Trump’s encouraging to protest. Lucky them.
There’s another time limit in action here. Under the War Powers Resolution, the President must withdraw U.S. forces within 60 days of reporting military action to Congress unless Congress authorizes continued operations or declares war. After 2 days we’ll be in the low 50s.
What’s he going to do? This is just a cease fire and not the end of hostilities,.
withdraw from what and where? We have no boots on the ground.
We have plenty of planes ships and troops in theater, Others have been prepositioned. We may also have special forces doing recon.
According to Trump we have provided lots of guns to Iranians via the Kurds. The best case is that Iranian Army and armed civilians overthrow the Republican Guard whose leadership and weapons have severely degraded.
Maybe we or Israel or both will provide air support if it comes to a shooting conflict.
Those “lots of guns” we provided
to the Kurds were kept by the Kurds and NOT distributed to the Iranian populace. They are still defenseless.
There’s a very interesting photo doing the rounds showing the IRGC leadership ranks being utterly decimated while the regular person army has been untouched.
Very interesting contrast. Almost as if someone is banking on them being rational enough to actually want to defend a Persian Iran.
There’s no dealing with a people who don’t care if they live or die.
THEY. DONT. CARE!.
“non-stop missiles”
Trump cut a deal with Iran’s President Pezeshkian, through Pakistan’s PM. Iran’s Foreign Minister confirmed what Trump said.
But the real power remains with the IRGC Chief Ahmad Vahidi. He’s clearly not on board with any deal.
The “supreme leader” is still in a coma.
Given that Iran’s President clearly doesn’t have control of the nation’s military, and the IRGC Chief does – do we really have any deal at all? Is the Strait of Hormuz open? Doubt it. Probably extremely unsafe today, might be the worst day yet if the IRGC continues to defy their President.
So, what’s next? I’d expect both the US and Israel to try to take out Vahidi. Might even get some help on that from Pezeshkian.
Also continuing to expect Vahidi to bump off Pezeshkian.
Whether or not we actually have a deal is entirely dependent on who wins this power struggle in Iran.
I’m picturing the coffin maker in “A Fistful of Dollars” looking at Clint to get an idea on how many boxes to build.
Listening to the media this morning the ceasefire has been sold as Trump caving and calling a ceasefire 🙄
Keep in mind the people selling this lie are the same people who complain about misinformation and the need to control everyone else’s speech.
he did cave. Iran is still threatening shipping.
He did cave,…Iran has surrendered nothing and all Trump got was a promise from congenital liars that they will allows passage through the Straits
There’s no pleasing some people. If Iran hadn’t folded and he’d carried out his strikes they would have called him a war criminal. Not carrying out his strikes made him a coward. He can’t win against the media. The US had full leverage against Iran and the Iranians knew there was nothing they could do since the bombers were already en-route so they folded. We would have happily turned what’s left of their country into rubble.
Trump is either a fascist dictator committing war crimes or he is a taco. Nothing will satisfy the left. I think Trump made the right call. Iran’s missile and ammunition production has been severely degraded to the point they are not able to use the 2 weeks to rearm. Russia isn’t sending them any and China is sitting this one out. The US/Israel military has killed so many regime members 2 weeks is a good pause to figure out who is in charge to negotiate with. Don’t believe the propaganda coming out of Tehran. They have to save face for all their terrorist buddies. They are as trustworthy in this regards as the Gazan terrorists.
“The Iranian navy on Wednesday morning told ships anchored near the Strait of Hormuz that they still required Iran’s permission to cross the strait. “You must receive permission from Iranian Sepah navy for passing through the strait. If any vessel tries to transit without permission, will be destroyed,” according to a recording shared with The Wall Street Journal by a crew member. The message was broadcast to vessels via radio.”
So, we chickened out and allowed Iran to choke 20% of the world’s oil shipments. Oh and they still have all the uranium. Nice. Operation Epic Fiasco. I just don’t think Republicans deserve to win any more elections. I certainly won’t be voting for them.
Oh look, another “I’m never voting Republican again” comment. Those never get boring.
they way Thune and Johnson are caving, I see no benefit in doing so
Between Trump caving, deficits that are going to raise my taxes, Jeanine Pirro trampling on Second Amendment rights in DC, and Kristy Noem screwing up the Department of Homeland Security, what exactly is the use case for republicans and the midterms?
The irgcc controls Iran. Not the mullahs. They installed cardboard Supreme Leader, it the mullahs. The civilian leadership does not control the irgcc. Hence the continued missile and drone attacks. The irgcc will never give in. Just like the ss we will have to hunt them down. 1 by 1.
the only question is are ships freely sailing through the Straits? If not Trump needs to be impeached
“the only question is are ships freely sailing through the Straits? If not Trump needs to be impeached”
The lousy grammar and punctuation should be a dead giveaway, but were you born stupid or do you have to work at it?
Ships are slow. It will take a day or two for them to make their way to the strait. Have patience.
Hasn’t the US repeatedly said that Iran’s navy is at the bottom of the sea?
How then are they threatening shipping?
Drones, whatever missiles they have left, and possibly mines.
I heartily approved of Trump going after Iran, but heartily disapproved of his talking so much especially when he set that Wednesday morning (3:30 a.m. Tehran time) deadline, allowing them to put thousands of human shields out there. Also heartily disapproved of his “end their civilization” threat.
If there was ever a time when less (said) was more (done), this was the time. Walk softly and carry a big stick, said Theodore Rex. A really, really big stick. Trump, you talked too much, and this is what you (and we) got.
Look at Venezuela. Did anyone tell them the time and date? Why did Trump do that with Iran?
Trump is not an alcoholic, a smoker, or a druggie (thank God), but the man is addicted to the sound of his own voice. No one tells him to put a sock in it, or if they do then he disregards the advice.
