The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked for another ceasefire, and President Donald Trump has said no. While Trump has actively sought ceasefires in the past, this time he had no patience for the Iranian demands, and that’s all to the good, as nothing good could possibly come from giving the Islamic Republic more time to regroup and strengthen its forces.
The New York Post reported Friday that Trump has “rejected a seven-day cease-fire proposed by Iran and expects to resume bombing the country after the midterm elections.” Trump apparently doesn’t think that the conflict with Iran will cost the Republicans in the midterms, and could be waiting in the hope that the Islamic Republic will collapse of its own accord. Inflation is skyrocketing, most of the Iranian people already hate the Islamic regime, and if that regime fell tomorrow, no one would be surprised.
That, indeed, is why the Islamic Republic’s leadership is trying to buy time with a new ceasefire. Islamic law allows an Islamic army to conclude a truce with a non-Muslim army only if the Muslims are losing and need time to regroup (or if the non-Muslim army is about to convert to Islam, which is not in play here, at least not yet). Thus is it wise of Trump to refuse the request, for when the Islamic Republic asks for a ceasefire, that’s a tacit admission that it knows that it’s losing. Paradoxically, the worst time to conclude a ceasefire with an Islamic force is when that force asks for one.

The Post noted that “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.” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi “told reporters at the UN gathering in New York that the seven-day proposal had been formally offered to the US.
Aside from lifting the naval blockade, the regime is also seeking sanctions relief from the US and the unfreezing of some of its assets.” Of course. The sanctions relief and unfreezing of assets would give the Iranians the funds they need to build their forces back up and resume their jihad against America and Israel.
The problem with Iran can be described in two words : TRUSTWORTHINESS and AUTHORITY.
TRUSTWORTHINESS: Iranian President Pezkhetian’s latest proposal is no different from the past — do this and that and we PROMISE to fulfill what you demand . The problem is they haven’t shown any record of keeping any of their promises. The impression they give is they just want to kick the can further down the road.
Hence Trump’s response — NO, you do what we demand and only when we see it fulfilled will we do what you want.
AUTHORITY: Even if Pezkhetian agrees to Trump’s demand it does NOT look like he has the authority to implement it.
He’s a PINO ( President in Name Only ). All of his promises will be overridden by the REAL POWER in Iran — the one who controls the weapons— The IRGC.
So given this, the only unfortunate solution is to destroy the IRGC by force. There’s NO CHOICE if we are going to break this unending cycle of useless negotiations.
“…this time he had no patience for the Iranian demands.”
My guess is it’s more a matter of - this time he has leverage to say no the Iranian demands
A thread like this is meaningless without memes...AI or otherwise.
The New York Post reported Friday that Trump has “rejected a seven-day cease-fire proposed by Iran and expects to resume bombing the country after the midterm elections.”
Interesting that Trump gave a time frame for bombing. He’s usually vague on his plans.
I can conceive the meme mentally...”Charlie Brown” with “Schroder’s” hair to look like DJT and a barely recognizable “Lucy” in a burqua....with Snoopy dancing a laughing hysterically as the DNC/NSA women.
That IS vague.
He didn’t say “November 4”...
...BUT...
that would be 48 years to the day from the 444 days of “American Held Hostage”
Charlie Brown hadn’t figure the trick out after -how many-...47+ years??? I’m glad that we have a MUCH more aware fellow in charge who has seen and dealt with the “Lucys” of the world.
What "army" is the writer referring to--and why has it yet to "convert to Islam?"

This thread needs a cartoon of President Trump place kicking the Ayatollahs head.
How many days until the election? Seems like it is more than seven to me…

This isn’t just about the mullahs.
The 7 day ceasefire, resume bombing after midterms? So if potus declined the 7 day cease fire and said bombing will resume after the midterms my math is coming up as 40+ days. Each time we stop bombing them they regroup, pull more missiles from underground and the only way to stop it will be a nuke. I’m absolutely fine with Iran getting nuked!
