"Sigh of Relief": U.S. & Iran Agree to 2-Week Ceasefire, But Israel Keeps Bombing Lebanon

The United States and Iran have announced a two-week ceasefire, brokered by Pakistan, under which Iran has agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Israel is also part of the agreement, but it has said it will continue its attacks and occupation inside Lebanon. The deal was reached less than two hours before President Trump's 8 p.m. ET deadline Tuesday for Iran to reopen the strait under threat of destroying every power plant and major bridge in Iran.

With all the cargo carrying aircraft that just unloaded a shitload of weapons to tel aviv, the bombings will continue for the foreseeable future.

If the rest of the countries in the ME blow them off the planet, they asked for it.
