#Israel today has carried out what it called the largest strikes on the country since the start of the #war.

Fars said 2 #oil tankers were allowed to cross the strait since the #ceasefire came into effect.

#Iran is mulling its response to what it sees as Israeli #ceasefire violations against #Lebanon, acc/to an unidentified security source speaking to Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with Iran’s #IRGC.

“#Iran is in the process of working on its response to carry out deterrent operations against Israeli military positions in the occupied territories,” the source was cited as saying.

The source said the continuation of attacks indicates that either the “#US cannot control” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu or that it “has granted freedom of action to the Zionist regime.”

Another source speaking to the state-affiliated Tasnim news agency said Iran’s armed forces are “identifying targets” to respond to #Israel attacks on #Lebanon on Wednesday, threatening to withdraw from the #ceasefire agreement if they continued.

“If the #US cannot control its watchdog in the region, #Iran will exceptionally assist it in this matter! And that, by force.”

#Trump today described continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon as a “separate skirmish” with Hezbollah that was “not included” in the 2-week ceasefire deal. [he has no idea what’s in the deal]

“Yeah, they were not included in the deal,” #Trump told PBS News Hour in a phone call this morning. “Because of #Hezbollah. They were not included in the deal. That’ll get taken care of too. It’s alright.”

A senior White House official told CNN Tuesday that #Israel agreed to suspend its bombing campaign as negotiations continue, but Trump appeared to accept that Israel would continue striking #Lebanon in the meantime.

Unlike previous ceasefires, this agreement does not appear to be formal, written document

When #Trump announced a #ceasefire between the #US & #Iran yesterday, he did so by posting to Truth Social, stating that “subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, & SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing & attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.”

@Nonilex

He really was in full panic mode when he wrote that "ceasefire", I think.

Oddly, with most people, if they panic they don't act well, but with Trump it seems the only moment you can catch him at some tiny bit of sanity, is exactly when he IS actually panicking and cutting through his normal six concentric layers of criming and grifting.

Many people seem to believe, that in order to get something from Trump, you have to butter him up and carry beads and mirrors to him.

And this is true, if you want to be his servant.

But if you want something real from him, something productive, then you must put him against the wall and MAKE.HIM.PANIC.

China uses the rare earths. Iran uses the Hormuz strait. They both understand what you must do.
