    Did Iran fold? They are firing missles at Israel, like right this moment

      The demand was open the strait or get bombed, they agreed to open the strait as a condition of the ceasefire.

      This is like getting mugged, handing over your wallet, and then saying ‘hah, I knew you were too much of a coward to stab me.’

        Do you remember why the strait was closed in the first place.

        This is like knocking over someone’s sand castle, getting your ass beat for it, they agree to stop if you rebuild the sand castle, you do and declare victory

          Sorry I thought “trump is a coward for not doubling down and doing a ground invasion” was too stupid of a position to take. I assumed they were saying he chickened out of today’s deadline to open the strait.

          Ok, it’ll make sense to say XD TACO if they reneg and Trump doesn’t follow through. But they’ve agreed to open the strait or there is no ceasefire agreement.

                The title does not say Iran agreed to open the strait. At the time it was only Trump saying he would accept a ceasefire after negotiating Iran’s 10 point proposal.
