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.

“Just another example of Trump’s big talk falling flat on it’s face.”

it’s = it is
its = possessive form of “it”

FYI

Israel accomplished what it wanted to. The Israelis are playing a long game that you have no idea what the end results will be.

That toco shit was begun by the left and in reality means nothing. Just ask the opposition who has had to deal with some painful results.

‘That’s not correct’

“Then what is correct?”

When people characterize strip as uneducated they are not only playing into a narrative, and one that he uses to an advantage, but they are incorrect. He is very well educated, particularly in military matters, in negotiating and in military and American history

People project onto Trump characteristics that they themselves would like to have in his position

He won’t fall into that model

If he wants the enemy to think he’s nuts and that spills over into the American public watching the media on this, he will take it

He will never be concerned about the opinions of people who rely on propaganda and their own impatience for their demands on him.

One particular professor who met Trump after the 2020, said of Trump that no one had a better grasp of the concepts laid out in the publication, the Art of War

With that in mind, I believe people are well advised to stop watching the minutiae of this operation

It’s like watching a mutual fund day to day. Don’t do it. Trust the investors and get back to work

Yeah. It doesn’t matter what the “leadership” agrees to, the IRGC continues to run amok, terrorizing and extorting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump needs to have them declared as both pirates and terrorists and use deadly force to eliminate them. No warnings.

Bomb the power plants and infrastructure to finally bring them to their knees. Right now the IRGC is still in charge and will continue to lie and drag this out for as long as possible as they have for 47 years. The longer they stall the better for them and worse for us.

Chokehold is a good description. Iran has all their eggs in one basket...that Island...and all the landings along the Strait.

Neither do they. The unintended consequences are always the hardest to game out.

One thing they have done with all these assassinations is they are now down to the third level, in some cases.

Of people taking these leadership jobs and knowing they may well be killed (and their families also) and they do it anyway.

So there is a selection bias of more radical people now heading these institutions.

And this war is over. So that is who Israel gets to deal with in future.

A typo is a typo.

If you don’t like being notified of in coherent argument there’s no reason to insult others.

Try giving a good argument as to what Trump is actually afraid of.

Smart move. Iran needs to keep the oil flowing but can’t. Their storage capacity is low. Once that is full they have to turn off the oil pumps. This causes long term damage to the system.

They literally have hours, not days.

Surrender or die.

“ I was wondering who would show first...the TACOites or the Epsteinphiles.....”

What?

That’s your contribution?

Counting down to FR’s legions of Trump dead-enders showing up with comments about what a brilliant and strong move this is…..

This is known as “Type II TDS” also known as “Trump Deification Syndrome”.
