    So is this a 12 hour ceasefire? 24? Permanent (read: until the next time)?

    And why does it start in 6 hours? Do the two sides get to just lob missiles at each other for the next 6 hours and then just say “gg” in a text to each other or something?

    Whether Trump had anything to do with any agreed upon deal should also be taken with several grains of salt. Remember, he likes to take credit for things he had nothing to do with such as the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. This assumes there is even a tentative ceasefire in place, which itself I question given the source.

    Or Iran could just be playing Trump for a fool. Let Trump think that he won because he’s the bestest thing ever, and then while he’s taking a victory lap, lob some bombs at Tel Aviv and make Trump look like a complete moron in the process.

      Ceasefires have a warmup time to allow for troops out of contact to be contacted and notified before it starts, ideally to avoid anyone accidentally doing a warcrimes right after everyone was told to stop shooting.
