One would think that a "ceasefire" would mean warring sides stopped firing at each other, but in the case of the war on Iran, one would be wrong. From the Associated Press:
"The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out 'self-defense' strikes in southern Iran, including on missile launch sites and boats placing mines, even as President Donald Trump said on social media that negotiations with Tehran were 'proceeding nicely.'
The strikes were done 'to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,' but the military was 'using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire,' Capt. Tim Hawkins, the spokesman for the U.S. military’s Central Command, said in a statement.
Further details were not immediately available, including more specifics on the threats from Iran and what this means for negotiations." (our emphasis)
It sounds more like a prelude to more wide-scale military action, rather than "self-defense." The "ceasefire" is one sided at this point, as the demented Malignant Loser shifts from one position to another, depending on whether he's paying attention to the growing economic disaster he's created, or whether Bibi "Bomb Bomb" Netanyahu and warmongers here in the U.S have talked him into all out war on Iran.
