Trump is once again hailing the dawn of peace in the Middle East:
The Islamic Republic of Iran celebrated the ceasefire by immediately breaking it:
Ceasefire day 1:
Israel took multiple waves of Iranian missile fire after the ceasefire was announced.
Kuwait reports that more than two dozens drones were launched by Iran since 8am.
UAE is currently under an Iranian missile attack.
Iran, via state media, reports strikes…

‼️ CEASEFIRE IN NAME ONLY
Iran has violated the ceasefire, launching multiple barrages of missiles and drones at Israel.
At least 11 people have been injured in the latest attacks, including cluster bombs.

The government of Israel says it supports the ceasefire but only if it is real, which it obviously isn’t:
Prime Minister’s Office:
Israel supports President Trump’s decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks subject to Iran immediately opening the straits and stopping all attacks on the US, Israel and countries in the region.
— Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) April 8, 2026
The Iranian Islamic regime is presenting the agreement as an American surrender and acceptance of its nuclear program:
Iran’s Farsi-language version of its ceasefire proposal includes “acceptance of enrichment,” a provision not present in English versions, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday, highlighting discrepancies in how Tehran is presenting its terms.

The Trump administration still declares that it will put pressure upon the Islamic Republic of Iran:
Senior Trump administration officials told Israel that during the two-week negotiations, the US will firmly demand removal of Iran’s nuclear material, no nuclear enrichment, elimination of the ballistic missile threat, and more, Israel’s N12 reported on Tuesday.
— Iran International English (@IranIntl_En) April 8, 2026
These demands, however, are hollow. Without military action, which Trump will become progressively less likely to resort to as the midterms approach, the U.S. has no leverage.
If the Islamic Republic of Iran remains in power, it will build up its strength again and then resume its jihad against Israel and the U.S. That’s one of the only two reasons truces are allowed in Islamic law: one is if the Infidel enemy converts to Islam, which is not in play here, and the other is if the enemy is winning, so as to give the warriors of jihad time to regroup and then fight again more effectively. The Trump administration, like so many others before it, should have studied Islam and realized that the Islamic Republic is serious about Islam above all. Then it would have known that when the Islamic Republic’s leaders showed a willingness to conclude a ceasefire, they were tacitly admitting that they were losing. It was time to press forward to final victory, not to stop fighting. And so another opportunity to rid the world of a jihad threat is lost, another chimera of peace is announced, and the jihadis will rejoice that they have survived to fight another day, as yet another Western government has kicked the can down the road instead of defeating them.

The only real ceasefire is as long as trump shuts his mouth.
If not for trump, hamas & hezbolla would be no more.
Iran might also be free had trump not stopped Israel on day 12. Evil loves ceasefires to prepare for next round.
Israel is tied by needs of munitions, her fault for not developing more together with India years ago.

This is Islam and its Muslims. When they are weak, they deceitfully pretend to be strong against all Non-Muslims as taught by Islamic Law(Qur’an 3:54; 7:99; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.). ISLAM IS ANTICHRIST, ANTISEMITIC, AHISTORICAL, DECEITFUL, MILITARISTIC, AND POLITICAL continuously against the USA Constitution and Western Laws to conquer and to subjugate Non-Muslims using seditious CRIMINAL-TERRORIST-GANG ENTERPRISES with ISLAMIC LAW(SHARIA) and with CONTINUOUS, TERROR PROPAGANDA from Islam’s Qur’an as evidenced by the continuous Muslim attacks to make Islam supreme(Qur’an 2:191; 3:28, 54; 4:74, 89-91; 7:99; 8:12, 30, 60; 9:5, 29,111; 16:106; 45:18; 47:4, etc.).

Does anyone on this planet really believe when the muhammadists say they will adhere to a cease fire agreement? Give me a break! Once a liar, always a liar as the quran teaches to lie and deceive.
Wellington says
None of the Iranian regime must remain because it is made up of dead-enders and religious fanatics. Deals with such a regime are essentially worthless—truce stuff at best. How to entirely get rid of this regime I do not know (does anyone?) but that it must be exterminated in its entirety is imperative. And once again I feel compelled to mention that what’s left of the Iranian regime has as its best ally the Democratic Party of the USA and its surrogates like the MSM.
Keys says
“How to entirely get rid of this regime I do not know (does anyone?) but that it must be exterminated in its entirety is imperative.”
Wellington dare I say, I think a start would be to simultaneously get rid of as many mullahs and their mosques, as possible. After that continue until both (mullahs and mosques) are all gone.
Of course, this would be considered a war crime, even without considering the morality of it. I’d bet big money that the Pope pontificate against it. So we just have to live with this relentless evil?
No doubt, Muslims would increase attacks on churches and Christians, maybe even Rome. But as Erdogan said, “The minarets are our bayonets, the domes are our helmets, the mosques are our barracks, the believers are the soldiers!”
It’s the ayatollah’s and mullah’s that have authority over the IRGC and the basij, etc. If the Supreme leader “fatwahed” that their would be peace, no nukes, no more chanting “death to Israel” etc., it would be done. His religiously appointed followers, the mullahs, would follow. But that will not happen.
As we all know, Islam is the problem! In Iran that is the ayatollahs and mullahs and where and what they preach to their adherents.

Ceasefire: regular dictionary, stop shooting, stop firing, quit fighting and aiming to kill
Ceasefire; muzzie dictionary, keep on as before, shooting, fighting, firing missiles of every kind while saying whatever will get them a fresh window, lower their risks of injury or death and perhaps fool fools. and as a bonus, if the enemy doesn’t “cease firing” use it as a tool. As a bonus, the enemy will *trust* the muzzie , stop fighting and be more vulnerable to whatever the muzzie can do against him.

It’s no wonder, at all that the Iranian people feel that they have been betrayed by President Trump. First he promised that he would aid them in overthrowing that tyrannical regime that oppressive and harms them in many ways them so severely, since in would not stop committing mass murder of the Iranian protesters who were only demanding their basic natural human rights.
Then Trump does turns around and is very willing to have “talks” with the representatives of that same tyranny has murdered many Iranian protesters, that he would let those murdering despots remain in power in their same regime if they agree make changes in their agenda.
This certainly has a foil smell of treachery by Donald Trump towards the people of Iran.
In addition, Trump would then not only be treacherous, but he would be ignorant gullible and naive if he really would trust any promise made be those lying dictators of to keep their would in anything that they might promise.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s hardly believable that President Trump is so very foolish, as to be willing to take part in that fool’s quest of trying to have genuine negotiations of any value or worth with. those despots in power in that Islamic tyrannical regime played that deception tactic of having “talks.”
\In any such so called “talks” the officials of that tyranny would only speak half- truths and outright lies.
Furthermore, it very important to understand that it’s just far too late for any type of “diplomatic settlement’.” The reason why this is so is because the massive human carnage is so horrendous that those murderous despots of Iran must be brought to justice. Likewise, their tyrannical Islamic regime need to be destroyed.
Last, but not least important, there’s a very old Bible based saying which is “Have no dialogue with the Devil” It’s based on Genesis chapter three in with Eve talks with Satan through the serpent. The result of that dialogue was disaster for Adam and Eve and all of humankind. Likewise, Donald Trump even having any intention of having talks, negotiations, with the Khamenei of any other despot of that Islamic tyranny is the wrong move.
Troybeam says
Peace in the Middle East, President Trump is trying but using the wrong strategy.
With Islam. never back down, never give them an inch and if you state you’ll take action and do not do that your simply in Islamic terms backing down and they claim your weak.
Backing down or extending the date is allowing Iran to unbury more weapons, weapons where did they come from? Did Iraq send their missiles and other such weapons to Iran to use after all buried in the sand and what about cave storage?
People on the bridges, water tanks etc, think Jihad, because putting people in these places by the regime is simple for them to do so, in their eyes its fulling the jihad duty. They are expendable.
