The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

hotair.com - Breaking trump announces iran israel cease fire as explosions rock tehran

From Trump:
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!

Iran initially called all this "lies", but now..
X (Twitter): Yashar Ali 🐘 on X: "BREAKING A senior Islamic Republic of Iran official has confirmed to Reuters that the Islamic Republic has agreed to a ceasefire proposal."

A senior Islamic Republic of Iran official has confirmed to Reuters that the Islamic Republic has agreed to a ceasefire proposal.

timesofisrael.com - Senior iranian official confirms tehran agreeing to ceasefire
A senior Iranian official confirms to the Reuters news agency that Iran is agreeing to a Qatar-mediated, US-proposed ceasefire with Israel.

Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani secured Tehran’s agreement to the US proposal for a ceasefire during a call with Iranian officials, an official briefed on the negotiations tells Reuters.

The call took place after Iran’s strikes on a US air base in Qatar on Monday, the official says.



So shooting missiles into Qatar wasn't a great idea.

And how about Israel? Some are reporting it's a deal, others aren't:
jpost.com - Iran news

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a security cabinet meeting that carried on into early Tuesday morning as US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran, set to go into effect later on Tuesday.

Following the meeting's conclusion, Netanyahu asked ministers to avoid making public statements.
