President Trump has reportedly rejected a seven-day cease-fire proposed by Iran and expects to resume bombing the country after the midterm elections.
As part of the proposed cease-fire, Tehran pledged to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume negotiations on dismantling its nuclear program in exchange for the US ending its blockade of Iranian ports.
However, Trump is “skeptical” Iran will agree to his demands and has told aides it is “likely” the US military restarts airstrikes after the November contests, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing US officials.
It’s unclear what level of strikes Trump is planning on launching.
In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly earlier this week, Trump warned that with peace negotiations stalled, he could choose to “annihilate” Iran.
The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

“Reopen the Strait of Hormuz.”
Yeah.
Open it FIRST, then, when the area is stable, talks can resume.
Till then?
Stay in your holes.
.
Its like Ground hog day with these lunatics.
Iran is the one that sent the “Deal” to the US, not the other way around, so this time its true, Iran is begging for a deal, they are suffocating with the sanctions and the blockade, so they need the dough to pay off the IRGC but heck no, Trump wont bend the knee to these murdering pricks, Trump knows regardless of any “Deal” he is going to lose the House so why give in
“reopen the Strait of Hormuz”
does that mean stop attacking shipping?
-
“Reopen” sounds so friendly....
Cease fires in the Muslim world are used for rearming and time to figure out another lie when you get “caught” violating yet another agreement. Keep choking them is the correct play.
better to have never started this stupid unnecessary war.
EVERTHING way mo betta on 27FEB than now ..
Did not start it.
Trying to end it.
the HELL he (and Bibi) did not start it !
Part of me thinks the gop-e wants to lose as well.
Iran started it in 1979. I could make a case Islam started it at its founding.
no Schiff Sherlock,
I don’t disagree about the evil that is Islam while we’re at it let’s go back to the Persian Empire.
thought PDJT and Bibi ENDED it Jun’25 ..
The news media in the West no kidding declared Iran the winner, claimed we were running out of options and this is a forever war where Iran won’t cave.
I bet 350 - 500 MILLION USD per day that Iran wants to talk and end this.
That blockade is hurting them.
Our bombings seriously degraded their navy, air force and air defense. We seriously reduced their drone and missile manufacturing. We threw their nuclear program back by as much as 2 years.
All that, despite Iran investing billions over years to counter us and having some Russian and Chinese help. This despite them building specialized / purpose built bunkers to defeat our most capable bunker busters which we turned to rubble anyway.
Our missile defense works, 92-96%.
We decapitated their leadership.
This was done quickly, with minimal collateral damage, few losses on our side. The kill ratio was so one sides that stating what is in this case likely somewhat factual appears fake >200:1.
We cleared a water minefield in Hormuz quickly, where again an enemy had YEARS to prepare.
Them trying to close the Gulf is nothing new:

This military campaign is about as successful as they come, given the type of objective and size of enemy.
Trump is 100% right. We hold the cards. We have all the leverage. The ONLY thing which can stop us, is us. If our internal political process allows for some maggot to score some political capital out of this by going against the war and this actually adversely impacts the war, that’s us doing this to us.
I can not understand your tag line ...

Everything is safer now that these lunatics are on the ropes and Trump isn’t playing their game anymore. They aren’t on the cusp of a nuclear weapon and they have no money to fund Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. Its just a matter of keeping them on the ropes until they are taken down from within.
Im not loving living through this either but its highly preferable to a nuclear winter.
Keep strangling the IRGC and keep feeding weapons to citizens. it will work itself out.
The US must come out of this with a strong trade partnership with Iran, to include naval basing rights. Iran will become the major platform for the propagation of the gospel for the entire Middle East.
LOL! Might as well take his anger out on someone.
What a chump this guy turned out to be. We could've had Ron DeSantis.
What does this mean?
