As I write this Trump is lashing out at Israel in a way that no U.S. president ever has, saying they “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” and stating the simple fact that they have violated the ceasefire he announced on his social media platform. Iran is also stating that Israel has broken the temporary truce announced by Trump, with the Mehr and ISNA news agencies saying there have been explosions in Babol and Babolsar cities in Mazandaran. The initial announcement by the U.S. president, which seemed to many to be tenuous at best, and a farce at worst, appears to have collapsed before it ever held.
