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.

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.
He’s just saying this to calm the markets for a few hours.
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.
Insider trade* for a few hours
There were indeed massive trade blocks 5 minutes prior to announcement.
As much as I have no reason to believe Iran, I absolutely know trump is lying.
Also worth noting that Americans are literally retreating from Iraq after requesting a truce from Iranian affiliated militias.
Iran has been very trustworthy lately.
Iran: If you do A I will do B
USrael: *does A*
Iran: *does B*
USrael + Western Media: *surprise pikachu face*
i read this as “claims he retarded.”
Probably shouldn’t call him the n-word.
But it would upset him soooo much
how about the wi version of the n-word?
But he’s an oranger.
November?
Lol same for me
Accurate.
read the same.
Cheers guys, its TACO again
Turns out it’s difficult to TACO out when you’ve lost all control of the situation.

Didn’t even wait until Tuesday
At first I thought Trump really fucked up. Unusual specificity in his threat.
I already knew his followers would eat the shit right out of his ass, but it’s somehow getting even more pathetic.
TACO means nothing to him. His followers just go with it every time.
…It could just be market manipulation. I hear DOW jumped when he made the threat.
