The United States and Iran reached an 11th-hour cease-fire deal on Tuesday evening, hours after President Trump threatened to start wiping out Iran's "whole civilization" if it did not allow commercial shipping to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz.

Correct, IOW a victory for Iran

Unless you view achieving the status quo before the war is a victory.

REMEMBER: Trump tore up a perfectly working deal in 2018. All of this is all on him.
Now he's killed those powerful and moderate enough to negotiate Iran into the world community, and turned a large swath of everyday Iranians, who like America, into skeptics at a minimum to outright haters.

Piggy will crow about achieving peace in our times though

Here is the 10-point plan, according to an Iranian state broadcaster:

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

Iran's FM Araghchi says agrees to cease defensive operations if conditions met
Iran's foreign minister has shared a statement on behalf of Iran's Supreme National Security Council declaring that "if attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations."

"For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces and with due consideration to technical limitations," Araghchi added.

To be absolutely clear

Iran wins this.

They got sanctions relief

They proved they have a nuclear option with the SoH

They will easily rebuild their missile program

Piggy got, ummm, snuff films and a nuclear deal he would have had 6 weeks ago

I guess with the world not ending I should do my taxes.

Piggy will forever be known as the lunatic that brought the world to near annihilation.

Keep that in mind when Iran makes out incredibly well if this ceasefire becomes a peace deal.

At best Piggy MIGHT get the nuclear deal that Iran was ready to give them on Feb 26.

Iran will likely get tolls on the SoH and sanctions relief

Of course, poor Lebanon will pay dearly

Also keep this moment in memory when Europe is flooded with refugees

Iran's Supreme National Security Council confirms ceasefire deal
In a statement published by Mehr News Agency, Iran's Supreme National Security Council has confirmed the reported two weeks ceasefire deal negotiated by Pakistan.

The statement said that the ceasefire agreement was reached with the approval of Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

The statement said deal is a "victory for Iran", adding that negotiations for a permanent deal will be held in Islamabad.

reports are iran accepted

"This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!"

Absolutely no mention of Israel

I don't see how Iran can accept this

Starting 12 hours ago the IDF began destroying most of the major bridges and railroads in Western Iran, along with destroying the majority of their aluminum industry, some chemical plants, etc. The US has struck multiple sites on Kharg, and Kish. Iran wounds 15 US soldiers at a Kuwaiti air base, the rest of their drones and missiles fired over the weekend being ineffective.

Ineffective, LOL. The Gulf States and Israel are censoring ALL damage done to them. Saudi's primary petrochemical plant was on fire.

So, ummm not nearly as one sided as you pretend.

The way I read this is this is Piggy's unilateral attempt to Taco. I can even admit it is as smart a play as he has at this time.

This biggest hurdle is OBVIOUSLY Iran will not trust Piggy and it is obvious that a ceasefire benefits Iran and Israel

If you read Piggy's statement

"Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan,...'

No reference to Iran

"...and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz"

Conditional unilateral ceasefire

That puts pressure on Iran that makes it sound like Iran wants to continue the war

"...are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran,..."

Meaningless drivel

"We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate..."

Hmmm I wonder what this ---- from Piggy means with regards to Israel and Lebanon? and Israel and Iran?

Is this a pressure play to force Iran's hand?

How many countries have come to US and Israel's aid?

ZERO
POINT
ZERO

Db,
How do you explain the fact no countries other than the usual two are coming to Iran's aid?

How many countries have come begging to Iran for passage of the SoH?

No word from Iran
Good news if true, will Iran trust Piggy?

No word from Iran

Good news if true, will Iran trust Piggy?

"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."

Trump tacoed for 2 weeks

Trump tacoed for 2 weeks

Bill America is putting our soldiers in gulf hotels. How is that different?

Bill just shut the ---- up

There are hints at an agreement coming out of Pakistan.

Iran's envoy to Pakistan says step forward' after sensitive stage'
Reza Amiri Moghadam has said in a post on X that "as of now" there has been "a step forward from critical, sensitive stage".

"In the next stage, respect and comity should be replaced by rhetorics and redundancy. Stay more tuned," the Iranian ambassador to Pakistan added.

Moghadam included the comments in a post that also quoted his earlier post saying that Pakistan had been making "positive and productive endeavours" as a mediator.
