Rule 10 Submission Statement: Does Donald Trump actually believe that this is the end of the thing, which he and Netanhayu started? Is he that out of touch with reality? The US-Iran "ceasefire" officially began on April 8th 2026 and is set to expire this upcoming Wednesday, on the 22nd. So far, there is no indication whatsoever, via the intermediaries, that anything meaningful or lasting has been agreed to.
The US has reloaded their ships and are moving more troops into the area. The US Navy has not forced open the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC said it wouldn't fire on ships during the pause in hostilities. When that expires on the 22nd, the Strait will be effectively closed again on the 23rd. The war will pick up right where it left off…because nothing has changed.
While the new 10-day Lebanon-Israel ceasefire could potentially extend the ceasefire by a little bit, the US claiming that their naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz remaining in effect, even after Iran claiming that the Strait of Hormuz would be completely open as long as the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire holds, could be seen as further provoking the Iranians. After all, under international law, a blockade is considered a belligerent act of aggression, at the least, if not an outright act of war.

If I had a ship, I wouldn’t mind going over there and filling it up with oil right now. What a nice gesture.
“Hello, Mr. President this is NATO speaking”
Nato is for defense, not for attacking and destroying other countries
Someone oughta make a polymarket bet out of this “Did this happen”
He doesn’t know what groceries are and he’s never heard of a corner store. Yes, he’s out of touch.

He’s been critical of NATO for decades…so I wouldnt put it past him
Many would argue Iran started this with the decades of sponsoring terror and the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people. This includes many Americans and allies of Americans over the decades.
