US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth claimed today that Iran begged for Donald Trump's 11th-hour ceasefire.
Last night, just a few hours before Trump's deadline for Iran to agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the US president said via Truth Social that he had agreed to 'suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,' after earlier sparking doomsday fears when he threatened to wipe out its 'entire civilisation'.
In a later post, the US President hailed 'a big day for world peace' after agreeing to pause the attacks.
At a Pentagon press briefing, Hegseth said Trump achieved 'victory with a capital V.'
He added that Iran's missile programme has been 'functionally destroyed' and that Iran's navy 'is at the bottom of the sea'. On top of this, he said, 'we [the US] own their skies'.
Global markets and world leaders have reacted positively to last night's news of the ceasefire.
In Europe, Frankfurt surged a massive 5% at the opening of the market. Meanwhile, the FTSE 100 rose 2.55% in the minutes after it opened. Over in Asia, Japan's Nikkei index closed up more than 5% and South Korea's Kospi nearly 7% on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, France's Emmanuel Macron this morning said the deal was a 'very good thing'.
But Trump ominously told Sky News' Trump100 podcast hours after the ceasefire was announced: 'If the [ceasefire] isn't good, we'll go right back to [war].'

The guy is totally clueless. Trump needs to dump him.
Ping
If the answer to any of these questions is "NO" then the U.S. lost.
No, he’s smart and knows he has to feed Trump’s massive ego and always agree with him, whether Trump is full of crap or not.
Time to print the banners! Somehow I missed us walking out with the uranium.
Trump really blew it! I hope Israel continues the fight. If not then all we are doing is giving the IGRC time to build more drones and repair missile launchers. And I thought Trump had a brain! Fooled me!
The US destroyed Iran’s capability to defend itself from the US but left them with the ability to defend themselves from other Arab nations.
I am waiting until Monday, when oil is at $35 per barrel to fill up and buy some Tupperware.
So, you put your intellectually deficient sdelf as superior to President Trump.
You are a joke
It still has Persians vs. Arabs, with the Persians sponsoring proxy forces to fight Arabs, Jews, and the West. It seems the Persians are in a tough spot of the Mullahs making.
No Iran lost. They lost much of their military. They lost most their rockets and drones. Their leaders were killed. Anyone who says otherwise is not seeing reality. As far as the Iranian people they have had chances but it did not happen.
lol this thread will be a cattle call for all the miserable Trump haters. Calling all TDSer’s. You all are never happy.
RUS Troll thread
1945. Japan surrenders. The US gave them 2 weeks to get their house in order before coming in to occupy the place. The country was in shambles and the remaining leaders needed to get their collective thoughts together. Young girls were sent to the countryside.
Perhaps this is what’s happening now. We’ll see.
Does anybody here actually believe anything guys like Hegseth tell us ?
Iran is launching missiles into Israel. So much for the ceasefire.
muslims are compulsive liars
Got any video of them begging?
