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.

Of course.
Anyone who says Trump
Doesn’t know what he is doing is following the media on this. And way too closely
Living up to his own deadline rhetoric. The IRGC has basically told him to FO as they rearm, run out the clock until Congress shuts this war down (a war I for one, support - if only it would be waged), and now he's standing there, impotent, having been played once again.
And again.
Once a war is stopped it is almost impossible to restart it..I knew this would go NO WHERE, such a waste of time..He’s not going back to war its just not gonna happen..its basically a stalemate
“ He seems to be looking pretty silly now to me, or should I say sillier?”
Yes. Which makes the enemy behave in certain ways
My suggestion- read Trump’s art o the deal. Also Sun Tzu’s the Art of War
Not Fox, cnn, abc
Well they have no income so they will be frantic soon.
The IDF kept PLENTY of them alive, they should have killed ALL the IRGC and every freakin leader they got
Should read -- we have been asked to hold our attack until Trump is out of the White House and the next democrat administration can give Iran tens of billions of dollars to rebuild.
If the democrats retake the House this November, this gets a lot harder fast.
“ He is playing 12-dimensional chess while the rest of the world is playing checkers. We are all just too stupid to see it. O cruel, needless misunderstanding!”
Well, if you think Iran is in charge of Trump’s moves in any way, that would be a miscalculation in my opinion
” The first big warning sign came a couple of days ago when I saw the report of a tanker that was fired upon AFTER it had already paid the “toll” to Iran and began sailing through the strait. “
The supposed backstory on that Indian freighter that “paid” the toll and got fired on anyway. For a change, Indians paid scammers, instead of the other way around.

“ Surely he remembers what a farce the Paris Peace Talks were?
He has to Remember Arafat being offered what he asked for only to reject the offer?
He can’t believe these are good faith actors.”
You think he is unaware of military history?
That’s not correct
we’ve decapitated their leadership...
I think that makes a little difference.
Who is even speaking for them?
You can’t bomb them to hell if they don’t negotiate, if there is no one who has the authority to negotiate BECAUSE YOU’VE KILLED THEM ALL
Agree with you. No one clearly in charge?
I see why they call him TACO.
I get it to a degree: we have no idea who’s actually in charge.
But I don’t like it. Just kill all the mullahs. Esp. the IRGC ones.
Then what is correct?
Sounds like an excuse to stall. We know who we have to deal with. Whoever the IRGC says to.
He is starving them to death until the 3rd Carrier is there. Last report, the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), will be there tomorrow, or as last as Saturday. It is hard to keep that sword in its scabbard when it is being waved.
No, it’s a brilliant move. He has Iran in chokehold until they submit.
Trump is on the clock to find the end game.
In my view he needs to find the end game before the middle of June which is three weeks before the 250th birthday of Our Republic.
Since I don’t think there is anyone willing to negotiate who has any real power, then the only end game is bombs away.
I think he is starting to come to that realization.
The status quo of limbo is not serving him nor the nation he leads, this limbo only serves to harden the dregs who are trying organize and survive.
He’s afraid of this?
“ Living up to his own deadline rhetoric”
Not logical morncoherent
