What ceasefire. Trump has been negotiating with himself. It’s coming out now Pakistan was just acting like a mouth piece for the American government. Trump is getting desperate and tried to force Iran to agree to anything and when he continued to get silence he panicked and had Pakistan announce a ceasefire hoping enough of the Iranian government would agree. One small problem. Isreal never agreed nor did Iran. Just Trump tweeting into the void hoping to sway politics.

It seems pretty much every involved party has continued launching missiles since the ceasefire was announced
