U.S. AGREES TO 2-WEEK CEASEFIRE WITH IRAN

[demmiblue]

Source: Axios

The U.S. has agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran proposed by Pakistan, President Trump said Tuesday night.

The big picture: The Pakistani proposal, which came hours before Trump's deadline to launch massive strikes if no deal was reached, involves a pause on Trump's threat and a commitment from Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks.

That two-week period would be used to negotiate a larger agreement to potentially end the war.

There have been discussions through mediators about potential in-person negotiations, likely to be led by Vice President Vance, though nothing has been announced.

13. On a Tuesday no doubt.

Puts a whole new twist to TACO Tuesday....

[underpants]

26. 🏆

[magicarpet]

30. ... a chicken TACO I suspect,...

..... or would that be a rat TACO ?

[SouthBayDem]

43. Chicken shawarma,

if we are keeping with the theme of the middle East.

[magicarpet]

46. Was thinking of the sewer of trDUMP's mind.

Hence the Rat TACO.

[magicarpet]

47. New to me - Oh my this does sound delicious,...

Chicken shawarma is a popular Middle Eastern dish featuring marinated chicken—typically thighs—slow-roasted on a vertical spit, resulting in tender, flavorful meat with crispy edges. It is commonly seasoned with cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic, and smoked paprika, then served in pita bread with garlic sauce (toum) or tahini, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.

2. He is so f'ng unhinged, I don't believe him

He has been allowed to act unpresidential this whole time. He is a liar and I fully expect him to start some sh!t within 2 weeks.

[truddy777]

3. Iran already rejected a 45-day ceasefire.

They want a permanent end to the war with guarantees, not another temporary pause. Their 10-point counter-proposal demands sanctions relief, security guarantees, and an end to Israeli strikes on Lebanon. This two-week thing is just theater

[TBF]

4. 2 weeks, Congress. #1 - release epstein files #2 - 25th amendment.

ENOUGH.

[electric_blue68]

12. THIS!!!!! Just a few secs after I read the header - that was My Very Next Thought!

[WiVoter]

17. I Concur!

[EarthFirst]

5. Congress: here's your moment... nt

[SamuelAdams]

6. What about Israel?

Did they also agree to stop attacking Iran for two weeks?

[muriel_volestrangler]

8. Good point - they've already been bombing bridges today (nt)

[demmiblue]

11. Per CNN, they are part of the ceasefire. n/t

[JBTaurus83]

15. We have seen how they honor ceasefires.

[demmiblue]

16. True. n/t

[underpants]

27. Trump let them in the door.

Like active shooter

[Prairie Gates]

7. Here's how this played out

The Pakistan offer was already being reviewed before Trump's goofy nuclear threat.

Trump made his threat (part of the negotiation). The Iranians got to puff up their chest and say fuck you (part of the deal). Pakistan made the offers public. The Iranians were permitted to reject it. Trump was required to say he accepted it first, subject to etc. The Iranians will reluctantly accept it.

Through Pakistan and China, the Iranians will receive a boatload of rebuilding money, probably from the Saudis.

The war is over.

[Attilatheblond]

32. My guess is the US Military brass saw the people of Iran go to the targeted infrastructer and stand their ground

Then the brass said NOPE! We are not gonna engage in your planned war crime. I base this on my faith in them and the report that Trump complained that what the Iranian people were doing was 'a war crime'.

9. Trump agrees to 2-week ceasefire with Iran, delaying threat of large-scale bombing campaign

TACO strikes again

President Trump said Tuesday he has agreed to a "double sided CEASEFIRE" with Iran, less than two hours before his deadline for Iran to either cut a deal with the U.S. or face massive strikes on its power plants.

"I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks," the president wrote on Truth Social.

He said the agreement, brokered by Pakistan, was "subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz."

[Orrex]

10. Fux Noise will praise this as proof of his brilliant gamesmanship

Holy fuck, why doesn't he just fucking die?

[CrispyQ]

33. He probably did play the market.

Will he do a repeat in two weeks?

Omg! Ditto on the fucking die comment!!

18. Here is the 10 point plan and let me say that no, this will not form the basis for a long term deal.

25. "Acceptance of enrichment"? Regional stand-down? These are surrender terms!

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but it looks to me like we just got our asses kicked.

[EX500rider]

19. I don't see anywhere where Iran agreed to the deal

[PSPS]

20. Is this a pretend "cease fire" like we have in Gaza and the West Bank?

[thought crime]

35. Less than that.

[Aussie105]

21. So the fighting has stopped?

The death and destruction in the Middle East have stopped?

Off to the only news medium with unfiltered news from the Middle East, Al Jazeera . . .

Nope, Israel didn't get the memo, apparently.

[usonian]

22. Another Too Weak delay?

[Hugin]

23. So, bottom line, Pakistan threw down a ball for the man-child.

How on Earth someone hasn't cleaned his clock in almost 80 years is beyond me.

[demmiblue]

24. Trump posts the official statement of Iran:

So he admits they control the SoH:

28. So...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

29. It's TACO Tuesday

[Crowman2009]

31. Two more weeks of stock market manipulation.

[COL Mustard]

34. Damn, now I want

Some TACOs.

[niyad]

36. TACO sure as hell did not write that. The names are correct, and when has

he ever used "wherein"?

[Botany]

37. Taco Tuesday

[Wiz Imp]

38. Pakistan did nothing. They are just repeating what Trump told them to say.

https://democraticunderground.com/100221156399

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

SKY NEWS: “We know the 🇺🇸 President has seen this statement and is considering it”

Seems like we’re all just gonna pretend Pakistan’s PM didn’t already show us the White House wrote it for them then delete and re-post cool cool

[sakabatou]

40. No one should be surprised

[SergeStorms]

41. TACO, TACO, TACO.

Once more, TACO

[IbogaProject]

42. Rubio admitted we couldnt win two weeks ago

Rubio said Iran charging a toll for passage through the strait was to be the expected outcome of this misadventure.

[Aussie105]

44. Lifting past sanctions and a toll for safe passage should be part of the deal for Iran.

Of course Trump will claim victory, and ask where his Nobel Peace Prize is.

[twodogsbarking]

45. What about Israel? Are they at Disney World?
