Yeah, I've had a smile on my face all day long. Looking forward to Trump's address tomorrow.

I'm not on X. what is community note? some kind of censure?

^^^ My guess (I'm not on X either) is that somebody bitched, reported the post and it's under review.

NOT 'Community Noted'...It was determined that God IS Good!

Here's a bit on 'Community Notes' --> https://communitynotes.x.com/g...n/about/introduction

In this particular case it's VERY Likely that the 'Community Note' was proposed by a number of TDS afflicted America Hating Deranged Leftists, that also hate Pete Hegseth, Christianity, and ANYTHING that is good.

Other countries suggesting a 45 day ceasefire:

Live updates: Iran and US receive proposal for 45-day ceasefire, reopening of Strait of Hormuz

Excerpt:

“According to the AP, the proposal comes from Egyptian, Pakistani and Turkish mediators hopeful that the 45-day window would provide ample time for talks to reach a permanent ceasefire. Iran and the U.S. have not responded to the proposal.“

Wouldn’t be prudent, not at this juncture.

They are cowards suggesting the James Bond approach to dealing with our enemies; Israel and the US are taking the John Wick approach.

Other countries suggesting a 45 day ceasefire

To give those turds time to regroup, reformulate strategy or hide evidence? ("Enriched uranium? What uranium? Do you see any?") No thanks.

Unconditional surrender or death

Only two acceptable choices.

Why would the victor ever accept a ceasefire with the loser

Losers don’t dictate terms

If that’s not a rhetorical question, it’s because wars are not zero cost efforts even to those winning them. I won’t tempt fate by mentioning what this one has not cost the US (thus far), but we are expending a lot of material which will have to be (or should be) replaced, and—just as important—wars frequently involve political costs, especially in this day and age when so many people don’t understand why they are necessary to be fought. And the last isn’t just something that the Left (this time) is pushing. How many on the Right have whined, and continue to whine about “forever wars”? (We’re not hearing much of that today because we have a Republican President; in three or so years that may change back again.)

Cease fires are promoted primarily for three reasons: First, truly well-meaning people believe that our objectives have been met well enough, and it would be good to put an end to all the costs to everyone. Second, many people call for a cease fire because it allows them to appear in the public eye and to possibly have influence over other people, which is a very strong evolutionary motive. Third, it is the best way for the losing side to gain time to recoup and rearm; that’s of course why a losing side will agree to a cease fire, as was seen in Vietnam, for example.

But to make clear: Do I believe a temporary cease fire that will simply allow the fanatics to regroup is a good idea? No.

That's a reasonable question. I agree with Sigfreund above that it's not something relevant to the current situation, but it's often been done in the past. Both sides suffer costs in conflicts - casualties, equipment, money, domestic politics, etc.

Two twentieth-century examples where weary victors agreed to cease-fires (armistices being fancy cease-fires):

WWI
WWI didn't end on November 11, 1918. That was Armistice Day. The war actually ended when the Central Powers signed the Versailles Treaty 7 months later.

The Korean War
Technically, the victor of the Korean War is still "TBD" as the war is not actually over - the status currently is 'cessation of hostilities' between the UN Command and North Korea under the 1953 Armistice Agreement.

We will cease firing when they do what they were told to do!!!!

Iran Rejects Latest Cease-Fire Proposal, Wants Permanent End to War

Iran communicated its response through Pakistan, and signaled that it was unwilling to accept a temporary pause in hostilities.

Iran has rejected a new cease-fire proposal from the United States, insisting instead on a permanent end to the conflict along with firm guarantees against future attacks, according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

The decision, announced on April 6, comes just hours before U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face potential strikes on key infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.

Iran communicated its response through Pakistan, signaling that it is unwilling to accept a temporary pause in hostilities.

“We won’t merely accept a ceasefire,” Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo, said in remarks to The Associated Press.

“We only accept an end to the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again.”

At the White House, Trump said Iran is making a mistake by rejecting the proposal.

“They just don’t want to say ‘uncle,’” Trump told reporters.

“They don’t want to cry as the expression goes ‘uncle,’ but they will. And if they don’t, they’ll have no bridges. They’ll have no power plants. They’ll have no anything.

“I won’t go further because there are other things that are worse than those two.”

According to IRNA, Tehran’s proposal includes 10 provisions, such as ending regional conflicts, ensuring safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting economic sanctions, and initiating reconstruction efforts.

Iranian and Omani officials are working on a framework to manage shipping through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy corridor.

Meanwhile, tensions escalated further as Israel launched strikes on Iran’s South Pars natural gas field—the world’s largest, shared with Qatar—targeting a major source of the country’s revenue.

The attack also killed two senior commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

Israel described the strike as an effort to weaken Iran’s economic capacity, though it appeared separate from the U.S. ultimatum.

The development raises doubts about the viability of a proposed 45-day cease-fire amid rapidly intensifying hostilities.

The Strait of Hormuz remains at the center of the crisis. Iran’s control over the passage has already driven up oil prices and rattled global markets.

In Tehran, explosions were reported throughout the day, with residents describing continuous sounds of air defenses, drones, and low-flying aircraft.

Among those killed in recent strikes was Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, head of intelligence for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, along with Asghar Bakeri, a senior figure in its Quds Force, according to Iranian and Israeli sources.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz signaled that such operations would continue.

“We will continue to hunt them down one by one,” he said, referring to senior Iranian officials.

Israeli forces also reported overnight strikes on three airports in Tehran—Bahram, Mehrabad, and Azmayesh—claiming to have destroyed dozens of aircraft and helicopters belonging to the Iranian air force.

The conflict is spilling across the region.

Gulf countries—including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia—have activated air defenses in response to Iranian missiles and drones targeting infrastructure such as oil facilities.

In Israel, a missile strike hit the northern city of Haifa, killing four members of the same family when a residential building collapsed.

Despite ongoing mediation efforts—particularly through Pakistan—progress remains uncertain.

Officials involved in the talks say negotiations are at an advanced stage but face disruption from parties seeking to derail them.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has maintained that diplomacy cannot proceed under threat.

“Negotiations are entirely incompatible with ultimatums, crimes, and threats of war crimes,” said its spokesman, Esmail Baghaei.

This marks the latest instance of Iran rejecting a U.S.-backed cease-fire, underscoring the widening gap between calls for a temporary truce and demands for a lasting resolution.

Iran's word doesn't mean jack shit.

Iran had no idea a pilot was found but a 2nd man was missing until it was reported by a media outlet, insider information leaked to them.

How A Dusty Strip Deep In Iran Can Be Turned Into A U.S. Special Operations Base In Hours

An ex-USAF Special Tactics Squadron member tells how the impromptu airfield in Iran would have been rapidly established and defended.

by Howard Altman
Published Apr 6, 2026 2:56 PM EDT

The rescue of the F-15E weapon systems officer (WSO) missing in Iran after his fighter was shot down was one of the most complex and dangerous missions the U.S. military can undertake. These kinds of operations can come in many forms. In this case, before the WSO was finally recovered from the mountain crevice where he was hiding, a forward arming and refueling point (FARP) deep inside enemy territory had to be rapidly set up and secured so that it could act as a staging area for the aircraft, equipment and troops taking part in the mission. This is an exact mission set U.S. special operations forces train for extensively.

To get more insights about how such a FARP would be set up and operated, we reached out to Kyle Rempfer, a former Special Tactics Squadron (STS) airman who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. STS units are an elite cadre of operators who work to control aircraft in the air, including from airfields they establish deep inside contested territory, and direct airpower onto the enemy, among other duties, including rescuing personnel trapped behind enemy lines. They are often paired with special operations units, such as SEALs, Delta Force and Rangers, to bring their unique skills to their missions...
