Welp. Guess the threat of Armageddon and Trump not backing down in the face of the world going nuts on him sent some shivers down the Iranian regime’s legs.
Desperate or deranged, or both—that’s how “destroying civilizations” sounds as a threat. Scary beyond words as a threat from the President of the United States. https://t.co/EFy2ilR7EC

Spazz cases.
Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Out of desperation, he’s now making an existential threat to Iran.
Trump CANNOT & WILL NOT wash his hands of the cruelty and chaos he has sowed for MILLIONS of people across the country and around the world.

But they’re not the ones in the crosshairs who have to do the risk calculations. I had an inkling something had shivered mullah timbers when I saw this just a few hours ago.
🚨 Senior Iranian official to Reuters: Iran is positively considering Pakistan’s proposal for a two-week ceasefire

Like, ‘Hey!’
MAYBE THIS FLIPPIN’ GUY’S FOR #REALZ!!!
And they BLINKED
The announcement has just come straight from the president.
🚨 BREAKING — CEASEFIRE IN IRAN: President Trump HOLDS OFF on power plant and bridge strikes subject to Iran REOPENING the Strait of Hormuz
This is MASSIVE!
“I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.”

“I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.”
“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”
“We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution.”
And the Iranians have to guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz as part of the agreement.
A two-week-long, ‘double-sided cease fire’ subject to the safe reopening of the Strait.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
I have a feeling there were several things moving the Iranians along in this direction if they wanted to have any hope of saving their miserable, murderous skins. The US and Israelis started smacking industrial installations this evening, for one thing.
BREAKING: US-Israeli forces have struck Iran’s largest aluminum producer, IRALCO, in Arak. Major fire at the facility.
Arak hosts Iran’s IR-40 heavy water reactor and is one of the most sensitive cities in the country. IRALCO produces aluminum used in missile casings, drone… pic.twitter.com/TwVI56Hreg

B-52s were also noted leaving RAF Fairford within the flight window to arrive over Iran at Trump’s ultimatum zero hour.

All of this pressure added impetus to the President’s warning that now or never was upon them.
It seems they’ve chosen ‘now’…for now. Even as they surrounded power plants and infrastructure sites with snaking lines of women and children waving regime flags as human security shields.
Let’s be perfectly honest – there’s always the chance that these long-time double-dealers will attempt a double-cross. But everything is in place to blast them truly back to the Stone Age at a moment’s notice, and Trump is the man to do it should they dare.
So I am not quite as concerned about the possibility of another football yank as I would be were it anyone else in that Oval Office chair. But I would not put it past them.
It’s in their DNA.
The difference is that winning is in Trump’s.
So far, the reaction is positive, from probably everyone but Democrats.
🚨 BREAKING: The price of oil has DROPPED over -12% after President Trump got a ceasefire with Iran in exchange for promptly reopening the Strait of Hormuz
And it’s continuing to go down.
JUST like Trump promised, once we formally conclude the war, gas prices will plummet! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/BpazJuNM3L

They are gonna be really pissed if this works out.
