The United States has surrendered to Iran, agreeing to all of Iran’s ceasefire demands—a permanent end to the war, complete military withdrawal from the middle east region, lifting of sanctions, reparations, full nuclear rights—if this holds, it is an unprecedented, historic defeat of the global western aggressors: the U.S. Empire.
Iran's 10 Point Ceasefire Demands
- Security Guarantees: A formal commitment from the U.S. and Israel that Iran will not be attacked again.
- Permanent End to Hostilities: Transitioning from a temporary ceasefire to a permanent end to the war on all fronts, including Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
- Sanctions Relief: The lifting of all primary and secondary U.S. sanctions against Iran.
- Strait of Hormuz Protocol: Iran would reopen the vital shipping route but maintain control through "controlled transit" coordinated with its armed forces.
- Transit Fees: Iran would charge a $2 million fee per ship passing through the Strait, splitting the revenue with Oman.
- Reconstruction Funds: Iran intends to use its share of these transit fees to rebuild infrastructure destroyed during the conflict rather than demanding direct reparations.
- Nuclear Rights: Acceptance of Iran’s right to uranium enrichment and the termination of related UN Security Council and IAEA resolutions.
- Military Withdrawal: The withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region.
- Asset Release: The release of all frozen Iranian assets.Payment for Damages: Reparations or payment for losses suffered during the war.
- Payment for Damages: Reparations or payment for losses suffered during the war.
For the past 40 days, Iran has been at the forefront of humanity fighting the global aggressors of our time, against the [supposed] most powerful military in the world, against the most treacherous and ruthless forces in human history—the Trump admin and Zionist State of Israel—child sex traffickers, pedophiles, rapists, the corrupt of the corrupt, disinfo liars, fascists, fanatical religious extremists, genocidal war criminals, ruthless imperialists ; that are responsible for brutally massacring masses of innocent people.
The Trump admin failed to achieve any of its nonsense propagandized war aims of "Regime Change", or the "Elimination of Iran's Nuclear Capabilities".
In recent days Trump had been openly threatening to destroy Iran's "whole civilization", alluding to nuclear attack, terrifying the entire world of a potential nuclear annihilation. He imposed a deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to the U.S. and its allies [which had been shut to punish U.S. oil markets], or else Iran's power plants and major civilian infrastructure would be destroyed. Stealth bombers were literally in the air and on their way to Iranian airspace earlier Tuesday just hours before the ceasefire agreement was announced. In recent days thousands of U.S. troops had been deployed to the region for a planned ground invasion of Iran.

All of this was one massive, carefully planned PR stunt and fake show of force so Trump could save face of defeat, so that when the U.S. surrendered Trump could make it [appear] as if Iran were the ones who were intimidated and wanted the ceasefire, rather than Trump who had been begging for ceasefire for weeks.
The Trump admin had put forward a 15 point ceasefire proposal two weeks ago. Iran rejected it. Iran said they would only agree to ending the war based on their 10 point demand list, clarifying they weren't even open to negotiations or talks with the U.S., despite the Trump admin lying that they were in talks. Iran has held all the leverage throughout the entirety of this war.
The U.S., Israel, and the allied Gulf states have been suffering heavy damages from Iran for over a month. Virtually all U.S. bases have been destroyed and rendered inoperational, with U.S. soldiers being hunted and targeted in the region everywhere they've fled to. Several U.S. fighter jets and planes have been shot down. U.S. Navy ships have been hit and sunk. The U.S.S. Lincoln and Gerald R. Ford warships; considered the most advanced and powerful warships in the U.S. military, have being targeted and hit multiple times, having to flee in and out of the region to avoid being sunk. The Strait of Hormuz was shut to the U.S. and its allies by Iran, causing a massive economic supply crisis and soaring oil prices in the U.S. and throughout the world.

Israel has been suffering heavy missile strikes daily. Their Iron Dome missile defense system has been struck and heavily damaged. Israeli's have been living under constant warning sirens 24/7 for weeks. The Gulf states of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain have all been hit hard by Iran, with U.S. military bases there targeted, as well as other assets like U.S. owned data centers, steal plants, and oil complexes.
Iran too has taken heavy damages over the past weeks, having their navy and military targeted, but suffered far more strikes against its civilians and civilian infrastructure. Within the first hours of the war, the U.S. targeted a girl's elementary school killing 168 children and 14 teachers. Iranian homes and entire residential buildings in dense urban areas were hit, along with countless other schools and universities, airports, bridges, desalination plants and water reservoirs, fuel and oil complexes, oil fields, medical facilities and medical research centers. 113,000 civilian sites were struck. with now 3 million Iranians displaced. [war crimes].
Despite this, Iran's missile capabilities remained firmly intact, hidden inside underground networks and silos from which they launched. Iran's attacks on the U.S.-Israel were only escalating by the day, and were striking in coordination with Iranian-allied Resistance forces in the region from Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq. The U.S. and Israel were getting bombarded on a daily basis, with new record numbers of strikes everyday.
This of course, in stark contradiction to the Trump admins lies and spin this entire time, that the U.S. had won the war the first day, had destroyed all of Iran's military, navy, and missile capabilities, that Iran was the one asking for negotiations. It's the same inversion of truth Trump does with everything—whether its elections, covid, court rulings, poll ratings, the Epstein files, and now this Iran war—whatever he and his fascist cult administration are guilty of or failing at, they just fabricate their own “facts” and narratives in the opposite. This disinformation and deception will only continue as the Trump admin confuses everyone, and themselves.
The only thing the Trump admin achieved in this ridiculous, illegal war was bring humiliation, shame, and disgrace to Americans; in addition of course to their war profiteering and insider stock trading, making hundreds of millions manipulating the markets/stocks through Trump's false claims on social media about ceasefire or attacks. Right before the war, insiders made over $1.2 million betting that the U.S. would strike Iran. Pete Hegseth, the self proclaimed Secretary of “War”, is currently being investigated for having attempted a multi million dollar investment in arms company stocks just weeks before U.S. attacks. That is their one achievement—enriching themselves off the blood of innocent human lives.

Like prior wars, this was a totally illegal, offensive, unprovoked war of aggression; brazenly unconstitutional as Trump completely bypassed congress which holds the exclusive power to declare war as a basic check on presidential power from unilaterally throwing an entire nation into war.
The vast majority of Americans were not with this war. Like recent U.S. wars of aggression, there was intense resistance and anger against this war. People knew this was another unjustified foreign war, wasting immense resources and government spending as Americans suffer from poor living standards at home. An estimated 2-3 billion was being spent on this war everyday.
Many U.S. soldiers were also against this war, with many dissenting internal conflicts and disagreements occurring; from acts of sabotage, to resignations, to generals being fired. No one wanted to go fight and die senselessly for this foreign war being fought on Israel’s behalf. This war has been a disgraceful, dishonorable misuse of servicemen and women by the Trump admin.

Iran knew this. Their officials made it clear in statements saying their war was not with the American people. Iran's Foreign Minister stated, "This is neither the war of the American people, nor the war of Iran. This is Israel's war, designed for Israel's interest, for those who believe in Israel first."
The U.S. is bought and blackmailed by Israel—”blackmailed” through Epstein file evidence against Trump, which Israel has in their possession from Jeffrey Epstein, an Israeli CIA agent, who collected dirt on world leaders and financial elites by involving them in his crimes, in order to leverage geopolitical support in Israel's favor, by threat of exposure. There remain nearly 3 million pages of Epstein files yet unreleased. Israel has been using this as leverage to force the U.S. into leading a war against Iran; a perceived threat and powerful competitor to Israel in the middle east region, the main power that has stood up to Israel's Zionist imperial aggression against Arabs, having supported many anti-Zionist Resistance groups in the middle east, and who possess a wealth of oil resources… and the U.S. is “bought” through hundreds of millions in Israeli campaign donations to U.S. politicians to help get them into power [both Democrats and Republicans], in exchange for those U.S. politicians doing pro Israel policy, and in this case enable an all out war on their behalf. Trump alone has taken hundreds of millions in campaign donations from Israel to help get him elected in both terms.
This was never about eliminating Iran's nuclear weapons or nuclear development. First, what right does a nation like the U.S. have—as the lone nation to have ever used nuclear weapons [twice] against another country, in brutal fashion against civilians, and who currently possesses nuclear weapons—to tell another country they can't have them. Still, there was zero evidence of Iran ever even having a nuclear weapon.
For years Iran was abiding nuclear agreements which were constructively working toward the denuclearization of the world between nations, until Trump backed out of the agreement in his first term. Just days before the war, as Iran and U.S. nuclear negotiations were still active, Iran had actually made major concessions to reduce its nuclear enrichment; even though Iran has every sovereign right to use nuclear energy for civilian use to power infrastructure. The U.S. attacked anyway.
This whole war has been singularly waged in Israel’s interest, who seek ruthless territorial expansion, as they have historically. It’s rooted in religious extremism, based on biblical texts and prophecy interpreted by their Zionist ideology of religious-ethnic supremacy. This must be dismantled in Israel, and replaced with a new system of basic equal rights where all ethnicities and religious creeds can live in peace without institutional discrimination.
This was not the "U.S." the country, against Iran. This has been the "rogue, fascist, blackmailed Trump admin" and "genocidal Israeli Zionists", against Iran.
Israel was completely left out of this ceasefire deal; hardly mentioned at all, except for the terms that they must halt attacks against Lebanon. There were no terms regarding hostilities ending between them and Iran. Iran in fact continued with numerous, heavy missile strikes on Israel throughout the night, as news broke of this ceasefire deal between the U.S. and Iran.
Israel is still consumed by their imperialist, religious and ethnic supremacist beliefs and interest for territorial expansion in the region. They are in too deep, beyond the point of no return. They just committed an all out genocide. They are wanted war criminals. They will not stop now. And they're fine to take the rest of the world and U.S. empire down with them in the process.
Another reason Israel, specifically Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu, will do anything and everything to bring the U.S. back into war, is Netanyahu faces multiple corruption charges in Israel. He has trials taking place at this very moment. It's in his direct personal interest to prolong this war and preoccupy himself away from the courtroom and trial proceedings to buy time and avoid being sentenced and literally going to prison.
With the U.S. agreeing to Iran's demands and trying to exit this war, the terms of Israeli and U.S. relations going forward is hard to foresee. U.S. politicians currently in power are still bought and owned by Israeli financial interests. Trump is still blackmailed by Israel through the Epstein files. But the U.S. has fulfilled what Israel wanted, which was an all out war against Iran... The U.S. was defeated and knows Iran is too powerful to defeat on their home soil. Israel knows this as well. Still, Israel will likely attempt to sabotage this ceasefire deal and drag the U.S. and the world back in.
Without the U.S. at war with Iran, and with the U.S. military expected to vacate the region entirely, based on the ceasefire agreement, Israel will be left completely alone and isolated in the region. They have no other allies. Without U.S. protection Israel is woefully incapable militarily [despite its "paper tiger" bombings of civilians], against Iran and Resistance forces; who are very much intent on resolving the Israeli-Zionist problem once and for all, that has caused so much harm and destruction for so long. Some Iranian officials have even publically stated they would not stop this war until a free Palestine is established, free from Israeli apartheid, and Zionism is completely eliminated from the world.
If Israel does continue its war campaign without the U.S., it will be defeated, potentially leading to the dismantling of their apartheid state which is oppressing and genociding the Palestinian people to this day.
In the U.S., Trump still needs to be impeached and removed from office as soon as possible. He remains a threat to American rights, democracy, and public health and safety, and remains a threat to the entire world. Nothing changes there.
This ceasefire of course remains highly fragile and tentative, due to the known volatility and deception of the Trump admin, and volatility and complexity in general of this regional war, involving several nations. We can only hope it sticks. If it does, it would signify a massive shift in the balance of power across the world, marking the beginning of the end of U.S. western aggression and interference in the middle east.
There are no winners in war, everyone loses. The lives lost are precious. The infrastructure destroyed will take decades to build back. War will always be a horrific, unacceptable answer to our problems. Iran though was thrust into this fight with no other option, after years of patiently exhausting all avenues of diplomacy. This surrender by the Trump admin to Iran is no doubt a historic victory against imperial aggression threatening global peace. It's a historic victory for Iran, for the middle east, for Americans, and for humanity.
Conclusion
The world wants peace. Only a tiny 1% of "dumb, angry, controlling monkeys" want to dominate and control everyone else. But our global Capitalist system structurally enables this tiny minority into positions of power. Hence, an endless history and pattern of warfare, despite desires for peace.
As positive as it is that U.S. imperial aggression is being stopped, we have to also recognize that if it wasn't the U.S., this same imperial aggression would be [and will be] waged under the flag of some other country. Look how the world's noble heroes from WWII in the United States, and how the Jews who endured the WWII atrocities, have gone on to become today's world aggressors, war criminals, and fascists. This pattern of war and atrocity will only continue. It all comes back to the need to fix our systemic issues which creates it in the first place, where with enough wealth, you can control entire nations, governments, and armies.
As long as we systemically allow the vast accumulation of wealth, to buy and own the resources and institutions of society... As long as our systems allow for political lobbies made up of corporate, billionaire, and foreign interests—whether the Israel lobby, the military industrial complex lobbies, the big pharma lobbies, etc—to buy politicians and control our governments... then democracy, the rule of law, the "will of the people", and calls for world peace, will forever be subservient to them.
We need to solve our systemic problems, in order to prevent this primitive evolutionary pattern to dominate, from always sabotaging our human existence and potential on this planet.
