Sounds like it’s close to being done.

Side bets this is a play to quickly end this by Iran because they actually didn’t lose much in the bombings?
A political theatre play if you will.

Supposedly it goes into effect around 12:00am ET, once in progress missions are completed. Rather strange ceasefire agreement but I guess we’ll see.

Israel accuses Iran of breaching ceasefire
Seems I was wrong.
Uhmm, no. You’re thinking of the Israeli strikes on Iran. That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the US strikes effectiveness.

No, I’m talking about Iran strikes on Israel.
Please keep politics out of this thread or it will be closed like previous ones.

All cease fires go through “wrinkles” You can expect this one is no different. Israel should not retaliate. If the moulahs strike in the coming days THAT will be a different story, historical story.
I believe the ceasefire had a delay period between agreement and when it would go into effect. I could be wrong.
And therefore what Iran did is no different than what took place in the later stages of WW1, when a fair amount of brutal fighting took place after negotiations concluded, but before the ceasefire went into effect.

Maybe its because Iran uses daylight savings.

Id like to clarify Im purely giving a historical parallel. I am in no way giving rational for why this attack happened, and why the cease-fire should or should not still be followed.
Yes, let’s hope that the minor extremist fractions do not take it to attack Israel. This is how complicated it is. Until the moulahs “lay down” their nuclear goal we shall impose the hardest sanctions.
There are no possibilities for the dictatorship to close the Hormuz strait. This will close their financing lifeline and therefore their power hold on the great Iranian people.
This is no more complex than any other geopolitical relationship. We are human. Everything is complex.
Oh the rationalizing by some…
I better not post or it will get locked.

Everyone realizes North Korea was able to build nuclear weapons? Not as sophisticated as US/France, etc., but they’ll go boom.
Iran can do the same, and in a hurry. They retain lots of technical talent. This is a setback.
Like all previous ceasefires, this probably won’t hold for very long, though the strikes might just be low intensity to annoy the other side.
