Description
After threatening to destroy the "whole civilization" of Iran on April 7, 2026, Donald Trump backtracked on grounds that a temporary ceasefire had been reached thanks to negotiations held by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. On the same day, we learned that the agreement included a "10-point proposal from Iran," which Trump said was a "workable basis on which to negotiate" further peace. Several news outlets reported on these ten points and Trump even posted them in an official statement of Iran on TruthSocial, including the "15-point" proposal from the United States. According to Shehbaz Sharif, "I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere." On April 8th, 2026, the Jerusalem post reported, "Iran violates ceasefire agreement hours after Trump announced truce." The proof Fox News showed of this involved small lights in the sky claimed to be Iranian missiles breaking the agreement as they fell on Tel Aviv. No context or details were provided. The Times of Israel then reported as quickly as it had been announced "open" that the Straight of Hormuz was being closed "over Israeli strikes in Lebanon." According to the man negotiating the temporary truce, this would constitute a violation of the agreement.
Perhaps to save face and once more give more rope to the Israelis to hang the world, the United States claimed, as per CNN, the "two-week ceasefire" was strictly "between the US and Iran." If that was the case then Iran bombing Israel should not violate the agreement. However, Israel's nonstop bombardment of Lebanon, and reportedly Iran too, led to Hormuz being shut down once more and claims the Iranians violated the ceasefire because the agreement was "contingent on the 'COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFFE OPENING' of the critical waterway." This is plainly an inversion of the order of events. Vice President Vance also told the press that the agreement did not include Lebanon, which is obviously a contradiction of what Shehbaz Sharif had explicitly stated.
As the ten-points from Iran circulated the Internet, and the public noticed they seemed to imply that the US had lost a war, the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed those points were "fundamentally unserious" and "literally thrown in the garbage," a statement obviously contradicting the President's official statement, which was published on official Executive Office paper. Benjamin Netanyahu told the press that his war objectives had not been met and: "we are ready to resume the fighting at any moment. Our finger is on the trigger." So what was happening here? It appears that as with the fake peace deal in Gaza, broken by the Israelis instantly and blamed on the Arabs and Muslims, the same theater was being offered for public consumption in Iran. And from the shadows again was Jared Kushner acting as a central negotiator. Whatever may be said of Kushner and what he sold to the White House at the behest of Israel and the Mossad, it seems strange he could obtain any details when, according to various confirmed reports, including from the Wall Street Journal on April 7, 2026, "Iran Cuts Off Direct Diplomacy With U.S." The article reported that "it is unclear if direct talks will resume before the deadline," which of course refers to the threat about Iran's "whole civilization" and the Straight of Hormuz being opened - though it was never really closed.
Meanwhile, Israel kept dropping bombs, targeting civilians, and providing false information to the White House that got Americans killed. Israel continued to undermine the wealth, perception, reputation, and economy of the United States. Clearly, Israel has no regard whatsoever for its allies or even its own people. Tens of thousands of Jews reside in Iran and call it home, as do large numbers of Christians. Yet no distinction was
