President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he agreed to suspend planned attacks on Iranian infrastructure for two weeks. The move was “subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz,” he wrote on Truth Social.

The announcement came less than two hours before his deadline on Iran to either make a deal that includes opening the Strait of Hormuz or else face major attacks on its civilian infrastructure. Trump wrote that he made the decision “based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan.” “This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” Trump declared.

The 8 p.m. ET deadline — which Trump set Sunday after demanding in a belligerent social media post that Iran “Open the Fuckin’ Strait” — had caused panic in the U.S. and around the world. Trump escalated matters dramatically on Tuesday morning, writing in another Truth Social post, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.“

Sharif earlier Tuesday afternoon had asked Trump for a two-week extension of his deadline for Iran. He also asked Iran’s leadership to agree to open up the strait for two weeks “as a goodwill gesture.”

1. I'm so surprised...

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Two Weeks

Just like the health care plan was going to be ready in 2 weeks. In 2017.
He found out the threat didn't play well, even on the far right.

[Polly Hennessey]

3. The bully blows smoke again. How many times can he do this before

this country has had enough. Are we becoming a joke because of him. 😳. Someone needs to save us.

[republianmushroom]

4. TACO

Tuesday

[Ocelot II]

5. Just as I expected. Pakistan gave him the off-ramp he needed.

TACO, TACO man...

[bluestarone]

17. Well, i'm not sure if Iran will immediately open it up.

I'm thinking they will NOT agree to this.

[Biggles7650]

6. 'TWO WEEK' TACO

Strikes again…!! What a wanker…!

[Torchlight]

7. Terhan is out-trumping trump again in Bigly Deal Making

laughing at him as his strings are getting reeled back in.

[William Seger]

8. Congress has two weeks to impeach him. Tick tock (nt)

[OC375]

9. They'll never give up unilateral control of Hormuz.

It's pretty much the world's economy (for now), their foot on the world's throat when needed, and their only real leverage in situations like this.

They'd give up on nukes before the ability to send the world into the 1800's. I would at least, were I them.

We apparently won't de-mine it, and they know it now, and they won't give up that threat, and we know it. So, a pause at best.

It would be nice if this gives everyone some time to think things like this though.

[Bayard]

25. Their response sounds reasonable,

That they will charge ships going through the Strait enough to rebuild their country.

[chouchou]

10. I remember his "Health System"

"I tell you, there's people working on it.....2 weeks, things will be complete"

And MAGA people still believe what he says...

[Gaugamela]

11. So Iran opens the strait and after two weeks he bombs them into the stone age anyway? That's the deal?

I thought opening the strait was the objective, even though the strait was open before he started this whole frickin’ mess. Why doesn’t he make the ceasefire ongoing as long as they keep the strait open?

Absolute fuckin’ moron.

[Solly Mack]

12. ...

[True Dough]

27. Morse Code, Solly?

That's an S.

I'll await your next letter.

[Solly Mack]

28. Too much work

[ificandream]

13. The Big Fool is so predictable.

Never thought this song would be anything but an oldie, but we're living it again.

[MissKat]

14. Oh my

Can't help but wonder if the MILITARY said, "NO."

[in2herbs]

21. I would bet that the 4 star General who was "asked" to retire the other day is someone who said "no"

to Hegsbreath.

[Efilroft Sul]

15. I don't care if this is TACO Tuesday or not, the entire regime here needs to go.

You don't threaten a civilization's annihilation willy-nilly. That's crazy talk not befitting of leadership, and MAGA needs to be removed.

[AZ8theist]

16. IT'S TACO TUESDAY!!

The demented buffoon is just so predictable.

The inner circle must have been busy buying stocks today in anticipation of tomorrows run up.

[orangecrush]

18. Wait and see.

[PSPS]

19. Is this a pretend "cease fire" like we have in Gaza and the West Bank?

[Probatim]

20. Stock. Market. Manipulation.

[Native]

22. Wanna know more about that 10-point plan we agreed to? Here's what Senator Murphy had to say:

"It appears Trump just agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz, a history-changing win for Iran.
The level of incompetence is both stunning and heartbreaking.
What on earth is happening?"

Link to tweet

?s=20

and

"Iran says the U.S. has agreed to their 10 point plan, which gives them control of the Strait, lets them keep their nuclear program and also their missiles, and drops sanctions against Iran.
If this isn't true - and let's hope it's not - it is proof that there is indeed no deal."

23. tTACO

the TERRORIST ALWAYS CHICKEN OUT.

[paleotn]

24. All that expense. A number of dead and injured American service personnel.

And we're right back where we were before the bombs started falling. Donnie accomplished nothing other than getting Americans and a huge number of Iranians killed.

[OAITW r.2.0]

26. A 2 week old TACO. I'd trash it.

[Aussie105]

29. "Nah!" Says Iran.

We have the upper hand currently, so stop pretending you are in charge and do some serious deal making.
This war has been brewing for a while anyway. Glad to be getting on with it finally!
Persia never shied away from a decent war, and we aren't starting that trend now!

How about: America sends Trump to the International Court of Justice for assassinating some of our leaders, war crimes, mocking Islam, gets dealt with, and then we open up the oil trade route?
