President Trump extends Iran ceasefire and blockade amid fractured Iranian government and ongoing proposals
President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "Iran doesn't want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to "save face." People approached me four days ago, saying, "Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately." But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!" - "Wacko James Carville, a so-called Democrat "strategist, " wants the Democrats to make D.
C. and Puerto Rico States and, most importantly, pack the Supreme Court, putting 13 Justices on the Court. If they pull off adding these two States, these Country Destroying Sleazebags will dominate politics in America, if we even have a Nation left, for 100 years (TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!).
They are already doing great with the Supreme Court, however. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, totally loyal to the people and ideology that got them there.
They are an immovable force, and there is nothing that can be done to change that. Certain Republican Appointees let the Democrats push them around, always wanting to be popular, politically correct, or even worse, wanting to show how "independent" they are, with very little loyalty to the man who appointed them or, more importantly, the ideology from which they came to be Nominated and Confirmed.
Everyone knows that, as an example, Birthright Citizenship, which is Unconditional and Absent from any other developed or successful Country, is a disaster for the United States of America. No Country can be successful with such an anchor wrapped firmly around its neck but, based on the questioning by Republican Nominated Justices that I watched firsthand in the Court, we lose.
As another example, if the Supreme Court put in one sentence stating that any money paid in Tariffs to the United States of America, to this point, does not have to be returned (to many people who hate our Country!), they would have saved American Taxpayers a minimum of $159 Billion Dollars. All they had to do was read the Dissent, written by Justice Kavanaugh, it was a close call, it wasn't a 9-0 decision, What a difference it would have made for our Country.
I put certain people on the United States Supreme Court who totally misrepresented who they were, and the true ideology for which they stand!" - "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS LOST ITS WAY! An IDIOT on The Wall Street Journal's Editorial Board, named Elliot Kaufman, just wrote an Op Ed entitled, "The Iranians Take Trump for a Sucker." Really?
For 47 years, they have killed our people, and many others, and taken advantage of every President, except me, And what did I give to them, a Country in tatters! Their entire Navy is at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar is wiped out, their Nuclear Labs and Storage Areas were OBLITERATED late one dark June evening by our Great B-2 Bombers, their leaders are DEAD, including General Soleimani, their evil genius who destroyed the lives of so many with his favored roadside bombs, the Strait of Hormuz is BLOCKADED and totally controlled by the U.
S., with no Ships allowed to go to Iranian Ports, It is said that they are losing 500 Million Dollars a day because of this, Their Country is an Economic Catastrophe, that is hanging by a thread. Barack Hussein Obama gave them 1.7 Billion Dollars in "Green" Cash, flown in by a Boeing 757 to their leaders, and Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in order to help them on their way to a Nuclear Bomb.
Other Presidents did nothing to stop them, a BLIGHT on the Office of the Presidency! But despite all of this, I have a MORON on the Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal writing about me being taken for a "sucker." Iran certainly doesn't think so!
I guess Rupert Murdoch told him to write it this way, because The Wall Street Journal has lost its way, no longer required reading, just another failing political "RAG!"" - "STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP:Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal.
I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other." - "It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Anthony Constantino, who is running to represent the fantastic people of New York's 21st Congressional District. Anthony is strongly supported by many of the most Highly Respected MAGA Warriors in our Movement, including Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Roger Stone!
Anthony has been such a Great Supporter that he actually put up a somewhat "controversial" sign, against strong opposition, in my honor. A Successful Entrepreneur, Businessman, and Professional Boxer, before running for Congress, Anthony is a Proven Leader who has dedicated his life to serving his Community.
In Congress, Anthony will fight tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U. A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.
Anthony Constantino has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from New York's 21st Congressional District, HE IS A GREAT GUY WHO WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" - "Never allow the Traitor Democrats like Low IQ person Hakeem Jeffries, or Cryin' Chuck Schumer, or the totally corrupt Fake News Media such as the phony and decaying Wall Street Journal, the Failing New York Times (Subscriptions way down!), or dying "60 Minutes, " to demean or criticize Operation Midnight Hammer, which totally obliterated the Nuclear Dust locations to the point where bloodthirsty Iran has been unable to get to it, or dig it out. Space Force has cameras on every inch of the 3 sites that were so brilliantly hit last June!
Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "To the Iranian leaders, who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives: I would greatly appreciate the release of these women. I am sure that they will respect the fact that you did so.
Would be a great start to our negotiations!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter." - "I have always been a big fan of Tim Cook, and likewise, Steve Jobs, but if Steve was not taken from the Planet Earth so young, and ran the company instead of Tim, the company would have done well, but nowhere near as well as it has under Tim.
For me it began with a phone call from Tim at the beginning of my First Term. He had a fairly large problem that only I, as President, could fix.
Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who I probably would not have known, but who would say that he knew me well. The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done.
When I got the call I said, wow, it's Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to "kiss my ass." Anyway, he explained his problem, a tough one it was, I felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and effectively.
That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship. During my five years as President, Tim would call me, but never too much, and I would help him where I could.
Years latter, after 3 or 4 BIG HELPS, I started to say to people, anyone who would listen, that this guy is an amazing manager and leader. He makes these calls to me, I help him out (but not always, because he will, on occasion, be too aggressive in his ask!), and he gets the job done, QUICKLY, without a dime being given to those very expensive (millions of dollars!) consultants around town who sometimes get it done, and sometimes don't.
Anyway, Tim Cook had an AMAZING career, almost incomparable, and will go on and continue to do great work for Apple, and whatever else he chooses to work on. Quite simply, Tim Cook is an incredible guy!!!" - "Operation Midnight Hammer was a complete and total obliteration of the Nuclear Dust sites in Iran.
Therefore, digging it out will be a long and difficult process. Fake News CNN, and other corrupt Media Networks and Platforms, fail to give our great aviators the credit they deserve - Always trying to demean and belittle - LOSERS!!!" - "Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom acknowledged that he "exercised wrong judgement" when he chose his Ambassador to Washington.
Plenty of time to recover, however!" - "RT @realDonaldTrumpThe Iranian leadership has forced hundreds of Ships toward the United States, mostly Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to get their Oil, Thank you very much!"
Explanation:
President Donald Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire with Iran, ordering the U.S. military to maintain the blockade on Iranian ports while holding off on a broader attack. This directive came after requests from Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, citing Iran's fractured government and the need for unified proposals from Iranian leadership.
The continuation of the blockade and readiness to act militarily signals sustained pressure on Iran, limiting its economic and military capabilities, particularly its access through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy shipping lane. This move follows Trump's earlier statements highlighting the economic damage Iran faces due to the blockade, estimated at $500 million per day, and his previous military actions against Iranian military assets, including targeting nuclear facilities and killing top commanders such as General Soleimani.
The extension of the ceasefire under these conditions reflects a strategic attempt to force Iran into negotiations on U.S. terms, continuing a confrontational stance that contrasts with previous U.S. administrations' approaches including the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal. The involvement of Pakistan as a mediator and the call for a unified Iranian proposal introduce a cautious diplomatic opening while maintaining leverage through military and economic pressure.
