Terrorists must be eliminated to be defeated. They are brain washed to kill or be eliminated. Israel ❤

War started again ? 😅
One would be forgiven for thinking the Americans and their Clown-in-Chief really don't know what they are doing. They should just admit defeat, shout some nonsense about it being a victory, and scurry away like they always do. They were mildly amusing once, now we all have Murica Fatigue.
Nethanyahu will never let peace prevail. Monster
And there's another oil spill off of Karg Island.
Hollywood Syndrome , clowns take the last shot and tell everyone they won. Well done Iran for standing up for your country's sovereignty. From Australia
Wait, strike an Iranian tanker and bomb Beirut. That sounds like a great path to peace.
Has got to be HUGE profits trading Oil if you're quite literally calling the Shots.
I'm not sure anyone over there knows what "ceasefire" means.
He has been saying this for about a month now. Iran is not going to make a deal with Trump, he is just manipulating the markets.
Don’t misread trump 🎉he is never a wimp 🎉🎉and sure enough he hates to be intimidated 🎉🎉🎉
Bbc news is still leading the dance with being the most pathetic news. Far left media
Israel will NEVER respect any ceasefire as long as it is receiving billions of U.S. tax-payers' money.
Satan saved "American Psychopath" not only to destroy the USA but the whole world😅
Haters want keep IRGC in power, Haters want IRGC keep ships as hostages and continue slaughter Iranians ppl.
a blockade is an act of war
When Israel agrees to a "ceasefire" that only means that Israel is taking heavy casualties in the ground campaign and wants to go back to killing people from the sky where they feel safer. They are a cowardly people.
Throught i saw Donny the Trumper flying that plane.
