the problem is that iran has factions. If the zealots think they have a chance to prevail, they may see it in their interests to prolong the conflict. There are all sorts of politics at play

What would he actually be able to do about it realistically, though? Fire missiles at Israel? I mean, come on...

Iran is run by people who want our respective countries taken off the map, sure...

But who actually wants to take on the responsibility of reigning in Israel when they go too far?

Both are difficult problems.

but it's crazy for him to expect that these 2 sworn enemies will make peace .... just like that.

In this case i think it's worked out better than expected for Trump so far. No doubt he will now take his bad mood out on the NATO members

Iran's Supreme National Security Council has released a statement about "imposing the halt of the war" on Israel and its "terrorist supporters".

The Council warns that "any further aggression will be met with a decisive, firm, and timely response by Iran".

In the statement, the Council praises the Iranian people for their "awareness, resilience and unity", saying the "enemy’s defeat" is down to Iranians’ "firm resolve, strategic patience, and refusal to accept humiliation or one-sided compromise".

The statement also commends Iran and its forces for delivering "decisive and calculated blows" in retaliation for attacks on Iran.

Breathtaking move by Trump..this war could have rumbled on and on for years..To step in and obliterate Iran's nuclear capabilities gives Israel very little to fear from Iran anymore, do they have no excuse to continually attack them, and Iran's arse will have went so they will obviously now bow down to anything now...great job alround by usa.

This isn't over, not by a long way. 2 mortal enemies don't just change the philosphy over night. Iran will probably go all out for a nuke now as fast as they can, and they won't suddenly agree to the great satan, the USA, terms and conditions. Not without a regime change and a change of heart

This post contains strong language.

More now from US President Donald Trump, who says he's "not happy" with Israel.

"There was one rocket that I guess was fired overboard after the time limit and now Israel is going out. These guys [have] got to calm down," he says, speaking to reporters before heading to the Nato summit in The Hague.

He adds that he didn't like "plenty of things" he saw yesterday.

"I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal," he says referring to the ceasefire he announced earlier. "They didn't have to unload."

The president continues: "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fu ck they're doing."

Trump appealing to other countries to be rational has got to be a meme.

from the bbc .....

I’m hearing from people in Iran’s northern Mazandaran province, who say that they have heard explosions there.

The IRGC-affiliated Fars news agency also says explosions have occurred in the city of Babolsar in Mazandaran province - located to the north of the capital Tehran.

Meanwhile, the semi-official Mehr and ISNA news agencies say that the ceasefire has been “violated” because there have been explosions in Babol and Babolsar cities in Mazandaran, with air defences activated there.

Iranian state TV has also acknowledged explosions in Babolsar. It cites a spokesperson for the the governor of Manzandaran, who says the details of the incident are not yet known.

We heard a few moments ago from the Israeli government that the IDF carried out strikes on a radar array near Tehran. It's not immediately clear if the strike is related to the explosions reported by Iranian media.

Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.”

Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.” Another source said that the intelligence assessed enriched uranium was moved out of the sites prior to the US strikes.

“So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” this person added.

The White House acknowledged the existence of the assessment but said they disagreed with it.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

Trump, who’s in the Netherlands attending this week’s NATO summit, pushed back on CNN’s report in a Truth Social post. “One of the most successful military strikes in history,” Trump wrote in the all-caps post adding, “The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed!”

The US military has said the operation went as planned and that it was an “overwhelming success.”

It is still early for the US to have a comprehensive picture of the impact of the strikes, and none of the sources described how the DIA assessment compares to the view of other agencies in the intelligence community. The US is continuing to pick up intelligence, including from within Iran as they assess the damage.

Israel had been carrying out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities for days leading up to the US military operation but claimed to need the US’ 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs to finish the job. While US B-2 bombers dropped over a dozen of the bombs on two of the nuclear facilities, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment plant and the Natanz Enrichment Complex, the bombs did not fully eliminate the sites’ centrifuges and highly enriched uranium, according to the people familiar with the assessment.

Instead, the impact to all three sites — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan — was largely restricted to aboveground structures, which were severely damaged, the sources said. That includes the sites’ power infrastructure and some of the aboveground facilities used to turn uranium into metal for bomb-making.
