Rockets were still coming in to Isreal after the cease fire last night.

Typical lib media leaves that little inconvenient part out.

No, whoever is still running Iran never had intentions at the top. They just lie.

Now most of them have died. The rest will get same.

Given Iran, once again, attacked what are they supposed to do?

Note also this was the Iranian forces in Lebanon aka Hezbollah. There was no agreement not to attack them.

The USA is not at war in Lebanon. That war is probably not included in the ceasefire.

HOW has FR been so thoroughly infested with commies, lefties, anarchists, and deranged TDS comments from people like you?

"Sockmonkey" is a perfectly fitting name.

Not while people are shooting at them. You have to shoot back

We did. We totally f’d up Iran and most of the mullahs are dead. If Hormuz is opened. Good job.

Now we could focus on what is inside invading and destroying the USA.

My name, Sockmonkey, comes from the Depression Era sockmonkeys I donated to the Smithsonian back in the nineties.
If FR instituted a rule banning ad hominem attacks, the number of posts and replies would shrink by ⅕. Oh wait, another unenforced rule.

“Israel doesn’t want peace.”

Where have all the mindless come from to end up here?

Israel was still taking rocket hits after the “truce” - I bet Neville Chamberlain is one of your heroes.

Israel doesn’t want peace.

Of course they want peace, but with Hezbollah and Iran continuing to send missiles towards Israel what would you do?

Sockmonkey is right. The truce, mediated by Pakistan, is between the U.S. and Iran. Israel is not included. And you can be darn sure Israel’s attacks on Lebanon will continue, as will Iranian attacks on Israel. Israel is angry about the ceasefire. Ask yourself why.

Does “Bomb Iran” have a second verse?
