The ceasefire between Israel and Iran was announced with the usual ceremony: a few handshakes, some carefully worded statements, and a hopeful press cycle.
But less than 72 hours in, it’s already unravelling—missiles are still flying, retaliations are still being justified, and no one seems particularly surprised.
This version of peace, apparently, comes with conditions.
Like “don’t fire unless you feel like it” and “temporary silence unless provoked—which is always.” The U.S.
helped broker the truce, but Washington’s current definition of diplomacy seems to involve airlifting press kits while everyone on the ground just keeps shooting.
Israel claims its latest strike was defensive.
Iran says its drones are a response to “aggression.” Third-party intel?
Confirms both are lying and everyone’s escalating behind the scenes.
So basically: another week in modern Middle East politics.
For civilians in Tehran and Tel Aviv, it doesn’t make much difference.
Sirens still blare. Shelters are still packed.
Airports are still stalled, and embassies are still pulling citizens out.
The average person isn’t watching news briefings—they’re watching windows for shrapnel.
Back in Washington, President Trump is calling the ceasefire “a major success,” while the Pentagon quietly updates damage estimates and tracks retaliatory potential.
No one’s using the word “war,” because that would require committing to something other than plausible deniability.
Internationally, responses range from awkward silence to cautious optimism.
The EU released a statement urging “both sides to honor the ceasefire agreement,” which is diplomatic for “we don’t know what’s happening either.” The UN called for de-escalation.
Again. For the 14th time this month.
This cycle isn’t new—it’s a loop.
Strike, strike back, broker calm, pretend it’ll hold, rinse, repeat.
The difference now is the tech: more drones, more cyberwarfare, more confusion.
Propaganda flies just as fast as rockets. And the casualties?
Still mostly civilians, still mostly ignored. So yes, there’s a ceasefire. Technically.
But calling this peace is like calling duct tape a building material.
It’s holding things together, until it doesn’t.
🧨 You made it to the end. now what?
Like that roast? Don't keep it to yourself.
