(YouTube & US Says Iran Ceasefire Still in Place After Clashes Over Hormuz)

A ceasefire is a temporary cessation, truce, or suspension of active hostilities and military operations agreed upon by opposing sides. It is designed to stop violence—often allowing for negotiations, humanitarian aid, or conflict resolution—but does not signify a final, formal end to a war.

A cease-fire is an agreement that regulates the cessation of all military activity for a given length of time in a given area.

Doctors without borders | The Practical Guide to Humanitarian Law

An armistice or a cease-fire does not represent an end to hostilities, only a truce (a temporary suspension of hostilities). Furthermore, they do not reflect a juridical end to the state of war.

The ceasefire in the Middle East was in peril Tuesday after the United States and Iran traded fire and threats over President Donald Trump's new mission to force open the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump's “Project Freedom” aims to use the U.S. military to break Tehran’s chokehold on the critical waterway, which has throttled international shipping and sent energy prices soaring.

But Iran's aggressive effort to retain its grip on the strait saw it attack U.S. ships, hit a neighboring Gulf state for the first time in weeks and come under American fire itself.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asserted at a Pentagon briefing Tuesday that the ceasefire was "not over" despite the clashes in the strait.

President Trump has asserted he does not need congressional authorization to continue military operations in Iran, arguing that the 60-day deadline imposed by the 1973 War Powers Resolution is "unconstitutional". Despite the 60-day mark passing for the military operation launched on Feb. 28, Trump claims a ceasefire makes the authorization requirement inapplicable.

Iran has “not even begun yet” in the standoff over the critical waterway, a top official warned after Tehran attacked ships that were part of the new American "Project Freedom." Trump said Tuesday evening that the operation was being paused.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. had successfully secured a path through the waterway and that hundreds of commercial ships were lining up (???) to pass through. The four-week-old truce with Iran was not over, he added.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would briefly pause an operation to help escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing "great progress" toward a comprehensive agreement with Iran.

Asked what Iran would need to do to violate the ceasefire, U.S. President Donald Trump said: "They know what not to do."

Shortly after Hegseth spoke, the UAE's defence ministry said its air defences were again dealing with missile and drone attacks coming from Iran, though Iran's joint military command denied carrying out attacks.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would “briefly pause” an operation to help escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing progress toward a comprehensive agreement with Iran.

"We have mutually agreed (?) that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom ... ‌will be paused for a ‘short period of time’ to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed," Trump wrote on social media.

Why do I completely doubt the above?

There was no immediate reaction from Tehran, where it was very early on Wednesday morning.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would briefly pause an operation to help escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing "great progress" toward a comprehensive agreement with Iran.

apple.news

One of Trump's central objectives in launching military strikes ⁠against Iran was to ensure Tehran does not develop a nuclear weapon, something Tehran has denied seeking. However, Iran has not handed over more than 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium, nor have they (or will they) surrender control over the Strait of Hormuz which has proven more effective than having a nuclear weapon it would appear.

Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has agreed to keep the Strait open? He has announced a naval mission to "ensure the safety of the strait" that he wasn’t concerned about February 28th and threatened a massive response if oil flows are disrupted…like it’s been for the majority of the last couple months.

Iran sees the Strait as its primary tool for pressuring the US regarding sanctions and, despite severe economic pressure from its closure, they are unlikely to “fully” relinquish control. Senior Iranian officials dismissed Trump's claims as "delusional posts" and "blame-game scenarios," asserting that the Strait of Hormuz will not be managed by the United States.

While some observers suggest a potential future negotiation where Iran reopens the Strait in exchange for sanctions relief, current evidence indicates a sustained, high-stakes standoff for the foreseeable future (perhaps indefinitely) rather than a surrender of control by Iran.

I’m assuming they’d have something to confirm or deny at this point…so the US will pause “Project Freedom,” the effort aimed at guiding commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said.

The announcement came just hours after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the combat operation against Iran has ended and the US would instead focus on Project Freedom…& nothing from Iran yet? Hmmm…

In his morning post, Trump said: "Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to (???), which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an ⁠end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran."

US president, Donald Trump, has issued a fresh ultimatum, telling Iran to accept a deal to end the war in the Middle East or face a new wave of US bombing “at a much higher level and intensity than it was before”. The social media announcement on Wednesday was the latest in a rapid series of dramatic and often contradictory changes in policy and came amid reports the US was claiming progress in stalled negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy commission, has poured cold water on the Axios report claiming the US and Iran were nearing a one-page memorandum to end the war, saying it was an “American wishlist [and] not a reality”. In a fiery statement on X, he said: “Americans will not gain in a lost war what they failed to achieve in face-to-face negotiations. Iran has its finger on the trigger and is ready; if they do not surrender and grant the necessary concessions, or if they or their lapdogs attempt any mischief, we will respond with a harsh and regrettable response.

Iran has also reportedly announced that the strait of Hormuz could reopen after Donald Trump paused his so-called “Project Freedom” to guide commercial ships out of the economically vital waterway.

Ok. Anyway, U.S. military forces intercepted and incapacitated an Iranian-flagged unladen oil tanker Wednesday that was sailing toward an Iranian port in violation of the U.S. Navy blockade, the service announced.

The attack came around the same time president Trump posted to Truth Social that the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would come to an end along with the US military operation Epic Fury if Iran “agrees to give what has been agreed to (??by whom??), which is, perhaps, a big assumption.”

Nuclear was never an issue. Stop believing the lies. Was it an issue 30 years ago when Bibi was fantasizing about attacking?

Remind of how Israel got in the game of nuclear enrichment and weaponry. Was it DIY or...did they steal the tech and 275kg from the US and then sell the tech to the Soviets?

Does sound like something a friend and ally would do?

I heard BiBi got a boner without a purple pill , is it true ?

 

[petros]

Ok. Anyway,

The NUMEC affair, detailed by the National Security Archive, concerns the disappearance of 93.8 kg of highly enriched uranium from a Pennsylvania plant in the 1960s. While investigations found no concrete evidence of theft, the significant inventory discrepancy triggered long-standing suspicions of diversion to Israel's nuclear program.

Key Details of the NUMEC Affair:The Disappearance: The Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) in Apollo, Pennsylvania, led by Zalman Shapiro, had a cumulative inventory difference for highly enriched uranium (HEU) of 178 kilograms, with 93.8 kilograms deemed "unexplained".Investigations: The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) conducted investigations but found no direct evidence of theft, despite suspicions that the material was diverted.Israeli Link: The affair fueled allegations that the material was diverted to aid Israel's nuclear weapons program, a theory explored in detail by the National Security Archive briefing book and other sources.Significance: The case is considered a significant cold case in nuclear proliferation, with suspicions lingering that the missing uranium was critical to early Israeli nuclear developments.The briefing book provides primary sources, including reports and memos, documenting the investigations and the uncertainties surrounding the missing uranium.

They did but didnt?

I heard BiBi got a boner without a purple pill , is it true ?

President Donald Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships go through the Strait of Hormuz came after a key Gulf ally suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation, according to two U.S. officials. Hmmm…
Trump surprised Gulf allies by announcing “Project Freedom” on social media Sunday afternoon, the officials said, angering leadership in Saudi Arabia. In response, the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase southeast of Riyadh or fly through Saudi airspace to support the effort, the officials said.

A call between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not resolve the issue, the two U.S. officials said, forcing the president to pause Project Freedom in order to restore U.S. military access to the critical airspace.

So Trump said that "Project Freedom", which began days earlier, would be halted by "mutual agreement" (with Saudi Arabia, not Iran?) because "great progress" had been made toward a deal with Iran?

Trump says 'Project Freedom' to be paused 'for a short period of time'

"Project Freedom", which began on Monday, will be halted because progress has been made toward a deal with Iran, the US president says.

www.bbc.com

The U.S. military maintains fighter aircraft, refueling tankers and air defenses at Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia. The Saudis allowed the U.S. to fly aircraft from there to support the war in Iran, as well as allowing aircraft based in nearby countries to fly over.

(YouTube & President Trump to pause 'Project Freedom' in Strait of Hormuz)

“Because of geography, you need cooperation from regional partners to utilize their airspace along their borders,” one U.S. official said. In some cases there is no other way around, the official explained. Military aircraft were critical to protect ships during Project Freedom, essentially providing a defensive umbrella.

Israel’s defense establishment unanimously opposes U.S.-Iran deal, source says

With Iran set to respond on Thursday to a U.S. proposal to end hostilities in the region, according to CNN, a security source told Haaretz that Israel's security establishment unanimously opposes a deal between D.C. and Tehran, believing it would be "a disaster for Israel."

Israeli defense chiefs believe Iran would deceive the U.S., rush to acquire nuclear weapons as soon as it is able, and seize control of the billions of dollars that will be made available to it under the agreement, the source said, claiming that they have voiced these warnings in talks with Israel's political leadership.

Example 2

Israel confiscates 21 ‘ghost trucks’ smuggled into Gaza with help of Israeli, Palestinian officials

Earlier this week, Israel confiscated 21 trucks that were smuggled into Gaza, with authorities suspecting that the vehicles entered the Strip without passing proper inspection through the aid of both IDF and Palestinian officials, Haaretz has learned. One source said that prior to entering the Strip, the trucks were reported to the Israeli authorities as stolen.

According to Palestinian officials, many trucks containing items banned by the IDF, such as cell phones, computers and cigarettes, and in amounts valued at millions of shekels, have gone into Gaza. These trucks, which bypass Israeli inspections, have become known as "ghost trucks." In recent months, several Israelis have been indicted for allegedly smuggling goods into Gaza, including IDF officers, a senior Shin Bet security service official and Bezalel Zini, the brother of Shin Bet chief David Zini.

Example 3

On Thursday, Azzam al-Hayya, the son of Hamas' political leader Khalil al-Hayya, succumbed to wounds sustained in an Israeli strike the day before, the organization said. Before his son's death was confirmed, al-Hayya said talks on the cease-fire's second phase are stuck due to Israel blocking the entry of the technocratic committee that is set to govern Gaza according to the deal.

A few hours earlier, far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich ordered the IDF's Civil Administration – Israel's governing body in the West Bank – to uproot 3,000 trees, saying that by doing this, "we are building the Land of Israel and destroying the idea of a Palestinian state."

Okay, so what do those 4 examples say?

1. IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad don't want peace.

2. There are Israelis who are on the side of Gazans.

3. Israel is fighting against the US by ignoring and defying established peace plans.

4. Says Israeli terrorist attacks happen daily against Palestinians and confirms ethnic cleansing of Palestine is endorsed by the Israeli Govt.

Is that the kind of truth you're hoping to find?

Need more? Yes? Allright then here is #5 it's a doozey.

5. If Trump manages to put an end to the war in Iran (and, as usual, to market the achievements as more dramatic than what will actually be achieved), he will require quiet on the Lebanese front as well. The question is what Netanyahu can do in Lebanon to influence the settlement in the Persian Gulf and how much patience Trump will have for it if he thinks that an agreement to end the war is indeed within reach,

5 Confirms Israel wants to expand it's Greater Israel sphere with settlements in sovereign Arab nations and why Bin Salami is restricting US use of its air space due to potential Israeli settlements in the Gulf.
