Birthday Boy Trump says that the US and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire agreement on Sunday, with Iran’s deputy foreign minister confirming, adding that a signing would happen on Friday in Geneva, a timeline laid out by Pakistan.
The concepts of a deal would include a 60-day ceasefire and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of the blockade on the Iranian Navy.
Earlier in the day Israel was bombing Lebanon in retaliation for rocket-fire from Hezbollah. Birthday Boy was pissed at his friend Bibi, saying he had shown “no judgement” in carrying out strikes with a ceasefire deal “imminent.”
The prevailing sentiment in Israel over Trump’s bigly concepts of a deal is short and sweet: “Bad deal.”
Israel is being left out.
Details that were bubbling up prompted a flood of criticism and discontent with Israelis across the political spectrum.
American and Iranian officials have said that under an initial “memorandum of understanding,” Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for the global economy, and the United States would lift its blockade on Iranian ports. The cease-fire that the two sides agreed to in April would be extended for 60 days. During that period, both sides would commit to holding detailed negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, and over the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Iran.
Trump’s goals apparently fall far short of Israel’s expectations set at the start of the war. Key security elements have not been mentioned in the deal.
“No matter what will happen, President Trump will declare victory, a total win,” said Jacob Nagel, a former acting national security adviser to Mr. Netanyahu.
