Israeli attack continue on Iran as foreign minister says no ceasefire agreed ‘as of now’​

• 
  Tohid Asadi

Reporting from Tehran, Iran
This is what we heard from the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi coming out with a post on his X account saying that he cannot confirm so far that a deal has been reached.
Up until the very last hour, we have been able to hear the sounds of explosions across the capital and also reports about the sounds of explosions being heard in different Iranian cities, meaning that Israeli strikes continue.
And from previous statements, I can tell you that Iranians are saying that they are not going to stop as long as Israeli strikes continue.

House Democrats and Republicans divided on Iran after Trump’s ceasefire claim​

From CNN's From Alison Main, Manu Raju, Nicky Robertson and Jenna Monnin
House Democrats are divided over US President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran after he announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel that the US helped broker after the president authorized strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities this weekend.

Here’s what some lawmakers are saying:

• Democratic Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters if a ceasefire is sustained in the region “that would be a good thing,” but acknowledged he still has concerns about threats to the US and constitutional issues. He also said that questions remain about the state of Iran’s nuclear program.
• Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida said it “sounds like a win for the country,” when asked if Trump deserves credit. “If you’re telling me that Israel was able to degrade the Iranian military, and the president was able to degrade Iran’s nuclear capabilities in 12 days, and Iran was unable to respond in any meaningful way, and no American was harmed in the process … that sounds like a win for the country.”
• Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said she believes Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire was essentially a “very grave public admission” that he had entered a war without congressional approval. Ocasio-Cortez has called for Trump to be impeached for authorizing the strikes, saying the decision was made “without any legal approval, unconstitutionally.”
• Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin slammed Democrats reactions to Trump’s handling of Iran, saying they “sided with a terrorist regime over the President of the United States and America.” He contended Trump acted within his Article II constitutional powers.
• Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said it’s “too soon to say” whether the president deserves credit for driving Iran to a ceasefire with Israel. “There was another way to do this where you could still get the credit, where you do it constitutionally,” he told CNN. Massie has been deeply critical of Trump for authorizing the strikes on Iran without congressional approval.

Republicans rally around Trump after ceasefire announcement​

US President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans have rallied around him after he announced that a ceasefire deal had been reached between Iran and Israel.
In a brief post on X, House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote: “Peace through STRENGTH!”.
Johnson has been feuding with some members of his party who criticised Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear sites.
Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of the most outspoken voices opposed to US intervention in the Iran-Israel war, also welcomed the announced ceasefire, writing on X, “Thank you, President Trump, for pursuing peace!”.
Greene earlier criticised Trump’s decision to bomb Iran, saying it felt “like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS!”

They gonna act like it’s Iran fault the ceasefire didn’t work tomorrow.

Iran FM says military operations against Israel “continued until the very last minute,” in hint hostilities have ended​

From CNN’s Kylie Atwood and Helen Regan
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi thanked Iran’s armed forces and said military operations against Israel “continued until the very last minute,” hinting that hostilities may have ended.

“The military operations of our powerful Armed Forces to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the very last minute, at 4 a.m.” Araghchi said in a post on X.

Earlier, Araghchi had said Iran would halt its military response if Israel stopped its strikes on Iran by 4 a.m. local time in Tehran, which is 30 minutes ahead of Israel. Araghchi’s latest post came just after 4 a.m. in Israel.

“Together with all Iranians, I thank our brave Armed Forces who remain ready to defend our dear country until their last drop of blood, and who responded to any attack by the enemy until the very last minute.”

Iran has their Uranium.

Images show US bombs barely made a dent at Fordow (Hence Trump screaming about fake news again)

Iran now has all the incentive to build nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu will NOT stop, he breaks every ceasefire.

Trump announced the ceasefire before either side did.

They already announced "Regime Change.", ain't no way they get cold feet now.
Is this another "Diplomacy" fakeout

Israel’s Home Front Command says ‘no change’ to situation as ceasefire reports conflict​

• 
  Hamdah Salhut

Reporting from Amman, Jordan
Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned from Israel and the occupied West Bank.
Since the announcement by American President Donald Trump, there has been no word from Israeli officials.
Netanyahu actually convened his security cabinet, those are top ministers with defence positions and also his security chiefs to discuss the situation at hand. However, there is a gag order in place.
Netanyahu told his government not to talk about any sort of ceasefire with the Iranians just yet. An indication that perhaps there are details that need to be finalised. That perhaps Israel didn’t agree to this. But there has been nothing official from the Israelis.
In fact, within the last hour the Israeli military’s home-front command…has said that there are no changes in place and people still need to listen to the directives of the government and military. That places are still going to be closed and there are still bans and limitations on public gatherings.

No US response yet as Iran not ‘on the same page’ about reported ceasefire​

• 
  Heidi Zhou-Castro

Reporting from Washington, DC, United States
We are still waiting for a response to the Iranian announcement.
Certainly, this is not the “full agreement” that Trump posted about three hours ago, and perhaps those congratulations were premature.
That’s at least what it’s pointing to.
It’s also confusing how these timelines line up because, frankly, they don’t. Trump had said six hours from the time of his post, which was at 22:00 GMT – that would be the beginning of this so-called ceasefire.
Obviously, Iran is not on the same page about that.
So there is much fluidity in the air, and we are still waiting to see how Washington responds to all of that.

Yes

Mike Johnson warns Congress and its guests that disrupting Netanyahu could mean arrest

The House speaker threatened to arrest guests in the galleries who disrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's joint address to Congress on Wednesday. That's not very "America First" of him.

But let the zionists here keep yelling USA as our politicians lick the a$$hole of a foreign dictator

 

[Gloxina]

The issue, of course, is Israel. Trump isn’t really trying to do anything to Iran. This is all Netanyahu. The issue is they will still attack Iran even with the ceasefire, then we’re back a square one.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — US House Speaker Mike Johnson says some Democratic lawmakers may try to interrupt Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress next week but that they will be arrested if need be.
“There are a number of Democrats in the House who have said they’re going to boycott that event. Some others may protest,” Johnsons says in an address to an event organized by the Republican Jewish Coalition on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“We’re going to have extra sergeants at arms on the floor. If anybody gets out of hand… We’re going to arrest people if we have to do it,” he adds.
