    Because he is a bit if a bully and will want to be seen to put them in their place. Same as all the tariff stuff

    Bear in mind he reckons he got India and Pakistan to stop firing at each other. Iran have done their retaliation, no damage. Everyone move on. If only.

    Stage managed response to save face. US and Qatar informed in advance it seems.

    Not sure I agree with all the praise Trump is getting for arranging a ceasefire so quickly between Israel and Iran.

    No evidence to suggest Iran were close to making a nuclear weapon, Israel destroyed about 80% of Iran's missile facilities and bombed the nuclear facilities. Trump comes in and drops a bigger bomb on the same facilities and is now going to claim it was all his doing.

    Iran don't have any option other than a ceasefire and that would have likely happened without Trump's involvement. They announced they would attack a US based as a face saving exercise. He's seen an opportunity and grabbed it with both hands.

    An absolute grifter.

    If he wants praise he can get a ceasefire deal that suits the Ukrainians.

    In typical American fashion he also made sure someone else had already done the hard work and destroyed air defence systems

    We live in some kind of weird f ucked up world in which a narcissist can oversee a short war between Israel and Iran, drops bombs on Iran...at the same time completely ignores what Russia are doing to a sovereign state.... indeed he sides with the likes of Iran, North Korea and China at the UN in a resolution against a ceasefire in Ukraine and claims he should win the Nobel peace prize.... I'm assuming no-one would be surprised if this orange moron actually did win it, such is his hold on world leaders.

    There's a thin line between believing Trump knows what he's doing or not ...

    ... other world leaders have little choice but to pretend they believe.

    They know if they call out Trump it would just embolden the likes of Putin and give Trump a reason to smash them with tariffs etc.

    Israel are making the most of all this, sickening to watch in my opinion.
