I imagine they have him sedated somewhere and took control of his TS

NYT is reporting that Iran has agreed to the ceasefire.

Peace has broken out!

Give him the Peace Prize RIGHT NOW!

Absolutely.

The UAE have recalled a $3bn loan to them for repayment with immediate effect. It's possible that Munir has pulled off a peace deal (will He get nominated for the Nobel peace prize?) and it's even more certain there is a promise of $$$$ somewhere

CNN chyron "Trump announces ceasefire; no response yet from Iran". So, 🤷🏼‍♀️.

TACO. Thank goodness. What a nightmare DJT is for putting everyone through this!

Iran says it's agreed to Pakistan's peace proposal.

Nothing is mentioned about the Strait

Oh IDK. It's got his fucking "Thank you for your attention to this matter" idiocy.

Maybe he didn't write it, but I'm sure he went in and did the capitalizations and added the superlatives.

The 10 points from Iran which Trump is saying offers the US a good basis to negotiate to end this war

I haven't seen a direct statement from Iran anywhere yet. I certainly hope you're right!

CNN reporting that a statement has just been released from Iran's Defense Minister. They're reviewing it now. (and have gone to commercial)

Ah thank god its temporarily over

For us

Not for the Palestinians or Iranians

They're talking too fast!!

Iran agrees to the cease fire but says it will 'regulate' passage of Strait of Hormuz. Iran will coordinate with ?? on that control. Iran demands that their right to control the Strait be 'recognized'.

Iran claims that Trump has agreed to Iran's right to a nuclear program.

I give up. They're just talking to fast. I'm sure it'll be in written form ere long

I'm still watching CNN. They're reporting that Iran is 'claiming victory' and that they have 'forced' Scrotus to accept their 10 point demands.

He's not going to like that one bit!

Hey folks. Just woke up. So who won ?

White flag anywhere ?

Sips first coffee... instant... extra spoon. CNN and -

"Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of President Donald Trump’s fiercest advocates for military action in Iran, said that Congress will have to approve any proposal to end the war.
“As to an Iranian ten point proposal to end the war, I look forward to reviewing it at the appropriate time and its submission to Congress for a vote, like we did with the Obama JCPOA,” Graham posted on X, referring to the United States’ 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran.
“I want to reaffirm that from my point of view, every ounce of the approximately 900 lbs. of highly enriched uranium has to be controlled by the U.S. and removed from Iran to prevent them in the future from having a dirty bomb or returning to the enrichment business,” Graham added."

So Iran has won then ? @SerendipityJane talked of a dirty bomb. Now Graham is, but it was never mentioned before. Has someone moved the goalposts overnight ?

And wot... NOW congress is to be involved ?

Is this like NAFTA. When Trump tore it up, changed it's name.. and said the new one was better ?

Now this from CNN

"Missile attacks reported across Gulf and Israel after ceasefire announced

By Lex Harvey, Lauren Izso and Todd Symons
Sirens are sounding across the Gulf and in Israel as several countries report incoming missiles early Wednesday after President Donald Trump said the US had agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
Both Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates said they were working to intercept incoming drone and missile threats in posts to X from their respective militaries."

Why are the Americans not out protesting to get Trump to stand down and maybe force a snap election.

He needs out as president.

Agree. Just saw a photo on sky. Clipped and attached. Looks a bit Father Ted TBH.

Protest fatigue ? Is that a thing ? It must be.

His TRUTH (att), for the record and reference. Txt here for folk to quote.

“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,”

"consummated" ? On a promise from Melania ? Is that too crude a comment from me ?

There's no mechanism for a 'snap election'. And the US doesn't have such a thing as a 'vote of no confidence'. The only way to remove a POTUS from office is either by impeachment and removal or removal via the 25th amendment. The former is done in Congress and the latter is done via the VP and Cabinet with a Congressional vote. And our only recourse for inaction on the part of Congress is to vote them out at an election. That's why the upcoming midterms are so important.

And we ARE out protesting! Did you not see the reports on the 'No Kings' protests on 28 Mar? There were over 8 million people protesting in 3300 locations in all 50 states. It's widely considered to be the largest protest in US history.

The 'consummated' is definitely icky.
