Peace? Unlikely.
The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out “self-defense” strikes in Iran, including on missile launch sites and boats placing mines
the strikes were done “to protect troops from threats posed by Iranian forces” but it was “using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
So Iran is firing missiles at US troops, & the US is bombing Iranian radar sites.
Pretty sure that’s now what a “ceasefire” is. 🤷♂️

The U.S. Navy has not left. If Iran continues to launch drone attacks, the current administration will continue to attack Iranian military targets. A ceasefire resulting from a stalemate is not the same as a formal surrender. Especially given how tenuous that ceasefire presently is.

TL;DR: the Iran ceasefire is collapsing. The U.S. is implying that it can use all military means, which means ground troops of some kind because the air force and navy are already being used.
No such thing as a pre-emptive self-defense strike.

Tonight the US struck Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran struck Kuwait. Kuwait activated air defenses against hostile missiles and drones. Both sides say the ceasefire is holding. A ceasefire where both sides are actively firing at each other is not a ceasefire. It is a war without an honest name.
The ceasefire holds as the United States launches self defense strikes in retaliation for Iran shooting down a helicopter with weapons that were already destroyed in a war that the US won months ago.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US military says it gave Iran "a chance to honor the ceasefire" but they didn't listen.

Hilarious, when the US blows up stuff in Iran it's "self defense" but if they shoot its a violation of the ceasefire.

US military sais it carried 'self-defense' strikes in first since ceasefire
US Central Command said it "conducted self-defence strikes in southern Iran" on May 25. This comes more than a month after a ceasefire between the countries took hold and amid ongoing peace negotiations in Qatar. Still, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio maintained a deal can be reached within days. While the US is looking to get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, Iran says Tehran's sovereignty of the Strait would be an essential component to a deal.

It appears there isn’t a ceasefire given the definition of ceasefire. The US will continue to claim self defense to justify striking Iran even as it asserts a deal with Iran is close. It is unclear whether Iran will choose to continue negotiations or to retaliate.
I think you mean ceasefires. The US military launched ceasefires in retaliation for Iran cease firing against that helicopter.

The US has launched new strikes on Iran, targeting missile sites and boats. Despite Iran not being a threat to America, these attacks are being called self-defense and fear not as they are using restraint because of the “ceasefire.”
But remember - there's a ceasefire, a peace deal is 95% agreed, this was a defensive operation, and Iran's armed forces have already been destroyed anyway.

B ANY deal is off if they follow Iran's guidelines. Or more American troops will die. Not as in they'll call for a ceasefire and do it. It's already been broken. And again there's no such thing as a “defensive/self-defensive military strike”. That's an attack w/ extra words
