The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports will continue, and the ceasefire with Iran will be extended, President Donald Trump said Tuesday, citing "serious fractures” within the Iranian regime.

“Based on the fact that the government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so, and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our attack on the country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal,” Trump said in a post shared on Truth Social.

“I have therefore directed our military to continue the blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted and discussions are concluded, one way or the other,” he added.

Why is anyone disappointed with this? Mr. Trump is handling this just right.

Funny thing. I can’t.
A person has to be very insecure to make a stupid move to convince people you aren’t a chicken. About an 18 year old level manuever. Trump is protecting America, continuing to weaken Iran, but not destroy the Country. Why damage what you can make use of later if you can just win by continuing the siege.

“ Never let the enemy up when they are down”

But they’re not down. They control the outcome, and it’s hard to see what’s their incentive to let DJT off the hook.

I hate to concede that the TDStards might have been right, but it’s looking like TACO Tuesday. They called it days ago.

How stupid are you? The TACO people complain when Trump attacks. They complain when he doesn't attack. They complain when he negotiates. They complain when he wins.

Stop being stupid like them.

That toco shit was begun by the left and in reality means nothing.

No doubt. But here we are discussing repeating incidents of nothing. Smoke. Fire.

Trump has a great track record of accomplishments, and also a series of a few unfortunate TACOs. Denial isn't a river in Egypt. The Nile is. To deny this is denial.

Easiest job in the Pentagon is armchair General. FR is full of them. After all the endless wars what are a few days or weeks if it leads to peace?

Just ask the opposition who has had to deal with some painful results.

Like Tim Waltz and J.D Prickster, yeah Trump really showed them....Oh wait.

Well, I took a test and failed my own tagline with you, which you also failed. So...

“Since I don’t think there is anyone willing to negotiate who has any real power, then the only end game is bombs away.”

That’s exactly why bombs away is the stupid move. Bomb men, women, children, the entire Iranian people when the bullies (a small % of Iranians) are on the ropes? Patience will accomplish the end goal without the wholesale slaughter of innocents.

Trump to Iran: Please have mercy on these people. If you decide to execute them remember this: We know who you are. We know where you live. Show mercy and we will paint over your names on our missiles.

My suggestion- read Trump’s art o the deal. Also Sun Tzu’s the Art of War

Correct. If the bombing re-commences over Iran, you can bet it will be at a time when they are not expecting it.

Are the use of the Spruance’s 5” gun cannot be seen as any different than the USS Charlotte’s sinking of the Iranian ship IRIS Dena. What does Trump do when the 60 days are up?


None of it makes any sense. Trump is playing to his domestic audience. The rest of the world will just see the “blockade”/”cease fire” as the clown show it is and refuse to be a part of it.
