Cease-Fire Appears to Hold After Trump Scolds Israel and Iran

Israel said its airports were returning to full activity and it was lifting restrictions on civilian movements after the president announced a truce.

President Trump responded with anger when there was continued fire between Israel and Iran after a U.S.-brokered cease-fire went into effect. But in subsequent hours, there were initial signs that the cease-fire might be holding.

Israel said on Tuesday that it was lifting nearly all wartime restrictions on civilian movement and economic activity, and the Israeli airport authority said Ben Gurion and Haifa airports are returning to full activity.

Israel had earlier Tuesday confirmed the cease-fire, saying it had achieved its war aims having removed a “dual existential threat” from Iran’s nuclear and ballistic-missile programs. Iran's foreign minister had said his country would stop its attacks as long as Israel did. Trump also made clear the U.S. wasn't seeking a regime change in Iran.

Trump announced the cease-fire on social media Monday evening, hours after Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar in a telegraphed attack that caused no injuries or deaths. Trump said the early notice and lack of casualties left the door open for an end to the fighting.

Reminds us of a Chicago weekend evening when only 20 people are shot (2 fatally) and only 140 rounds are fired. Peace.

Followed by “Chicago crime rate down again for 5th straight week.”

Once on Chicago PD the new boss was proud of the lower murder numbers and Voight said: “Or, the below zero weather caused everybody to stay indoors and when it warms up they’ll be outside shooting each other again.”

Obama got his for doing nothing.Bumpkiss.(Reaching out to Islamofascists)

If they award it to Trump he should decline it.

“The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States president Barack Obama for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama’s promotion of nuclear nonproliferation and a “new climate” in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world. Wikipedia”

Trump actually accomplished peace. And he has a good shot at Russia to bring the same.Needless to say this is driving the lefties in YERP crazy. Watch what he does with NATO, a NATO that Obama used to bomb Libya, hardly a defensive initiative.NATO under the lefties of YERP has become a neo- colonial lefty invasion force.I can hardly wait to see what TRump’s speech with NATO will be.

Nice to have a President the world respects - and fears - once again.

The last Republican President to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize was Theodore Roosevelt (for his role in ending the Russo-Japanese War). Three Democrat Presidents since then have won the award (Wilson, Carter, Obama). Gorbachev was given the Peace Prize--he didn't have to share it with Reagan.

A couple of Republican Secretaries of State have won it--Frank Kellogg, Henry Kissinger.

Given recent history I think it is almost impossible for Trump to be awarded the prize. If there is peace they will probably give the award to the ayatollah.

If Trump is awarded the Nobel he should hang it up in his bathroom.

President Trump calling his son using all three names. You know you are in trouble when that happens.

President Trump does not show anger very often but in this case I think it was needed. Like children testing the boundaries.
