Trump’s Ceasefire Deal with Iran and Israel is Bad

President Donald Trump announced a Ceasefire Deal with the Iranian dictatorship and Israel. It was promptly violated. Can you guess who violated it?

The Iranian dictatorship violated the ceasefire. That means they broke the ceasefire. That means there is no more ceasefire. Even if Israel lets this slide, it is not a valid cease fire.

The Iranian dictatorship fired missiles at Israel about 7 -10 minutes after the ceasefire time went into effect at 7:00am Israel Time, 7:30am Iran Time.

If Iran’s dictatorship stays in place thanks to the ceasefire Trump says he arranged, that is bad for Israel, the US and the West. You can’t trust the Iranian dictatorship. They will pursue nuclear weapons again. And they will keep oppressing Iranians and spread terror.

It’s frankly absurd to think that the US can just negotiate peace with the Iranian dictatorship while they continue to fund terror proxies including Hamas, Hizbullah and the Houthis.

They will certainly now make double time to build nuclear weapons. And they will continue to oppress their own people, even worse than before, because now they’re angry and hurt.

This is like swimming 90% of the way across the ocean, only to turn back and swim home because the swimmer is tired.

It’s nonsensical and a huge mistake to think this ends today with this supposed ceasefire. But Trump is a transactional person and he has a huge ego and he just wants a Nobel Peace Prize and thinks this will get it for him. He either doesn’t know or care enough (or both) about the Iran problem to comprehend that the Iranian dictatorship is not trustworthy.

Trump frankly did a great thing by getting rid of the 3 nuclear facilities in Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz. But to now say ceasefire just before Iranians overthrow the regime is just more “conflict containment” for political and business interests. This means more violence to come.

The IRGC has to go. The Iranian dictatorship has to go. There is no path to peace as long as they remain in power. The people of Iran must rise up and get rid of the awful dictatorship that oppresses them and threatens peace, prosperity and security in their country, in the regions, and around the world.

The writing of this article was interrupted at this point, by incoming missiles fired by Iran towards Israel.

10:28am Israel Time: Alerts across Israel warn of more missile attacks to probably arrive in Israel soon. It is an alert of incoming fire. This is hours after the cease fire supposedly went into effect. It’s even an hour after the Israeli government finally declared the ceasefire to be in effect. Well, I did say this would happen. The future’s not difficult to predict in some cases, as in this case.

Sirens alerting people of incoming fire blared at around 10:31am Israel Time

10:35am Israel Time: At least one missile exploded overhead in northern Israel. The ceasefire is confirmed to be violated by missiles from the Iranian dictatorship.

One theoretical 4D Chess view is that Trump declared the ceasefire in order to appease his base that opposes regime change in Iran, while his actions of taking out the 3 nuclear facilities in Iran appeased his base that supports regime change in Iran. Either way, the ceasefire is bad for Israel, bad for the Iranian people, bad for the region, bad for the US and bad for the world.
