Griffin added more details to her initial post, writing, “A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.”

        Iran is not Gaza. If the usa don’t cease , Iran will not cease. Even hizbollah no longer accept isrsel breach if the cease fire and are back at full scaled retaliation

      Toddler logic:

      Ceasefire means you stop, I can still do what I want.

      People forget trump has always wanted a forever war to cancel elections.

      He doesn’t want to permanently fix anything, he wants it ready to blow as an excuse to cancel an election.

      Don’t forget Bibi has canceled like 4 consecutive Israeli elections, it’s his bread and butter and he’s running this show.

      The war won’t end while trump is in office.

        He’s also likely hit the Alzheimer’s stage of his life. Combine his general impulsivity with the characteristic impulsivity of Alzheimer’s. Now add in his likely cluster B personality disorder. Anything can happen at any time.

        Reason may not be involved at all.

        I know Bibi is running the country lika a dictator, but has he really cancelled any elections? As far as I can tell, since 2000 there have been Knesset elections 2003, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2019 (again), 2020, 2021 and 2022 with the next one expected in October this year.

        Doesn’t sound like there have been any cancellations, considering the members serve four-year terms, however, there have been plenty of early elections.

        Can you clarify what you meant by him having cancelled Israeli elections?

          They don’t have regular elections, they can happen as often as every year.

          Bibi has cancelled due to “war” since 2022, and while there is an election scheduled this year, that has been true for every year since 2022 as well.

          Edit:

          And the reason they happened twice in 19, then three years in a row is because a lot of Israel blames Bibi for all of this…

          Very very slim wins for his parties and his alliance keeps fracturing. If he wasn’t canceling elections,the wouldn’t be in charge.

          And as soon as he’s not in charge, his corruption trial starts and he’s clearly guilty. Like there’s a shit ton of evidence, he will be found guilty.

          It’s a lot more fucked up than people think, there’s a lot of propaganda from all sides that want to make it seem like Bibi has the support of every Israeli, when it’s more like America and trump.

          apparently because Americans seem OK to bring the world to ruin before attempting to organize a general strike or protest on a week day

            I would pay so much money to watch a PPV fight between any UFC fighter and everyone in Trump’s cabinet. Starting with the president and VP, of course.

      AFAIK the ceasefire ever existing was a myth? Trump just kinda declared it without anyone else agreeing and then everyone kept shooting anyway, Trump included.
