JFK Assassination Forum

People like to believe they were part of something important. One of the most significant events in the history of the country took place right under this guy's nose and he wasn't a part of it. Sounds to me like he was trying to inject himself into the story. I bet he actually convinced himself it was Jack Ruby he saw. His story might have a grain of credibility if he had told someone, anyone that he saw Jack Ruby at the scene of he assassination BEFORE Ruby shot Oswald. This story has about as much credibility as the guy who claimed Jack Ruby called the DPD the night before Oswald was shot threatening to kill him. If he recognized Jack Ruby at that time, why did he not report it to anyone. Why did these people wait until Jack Ruby became notorious before they claimed to have seen or heard him.

"Joe Iranian" gets to live another day.
thank you Mr. Tangerine Man.

TACO Supreme !!

The libtards who are claiming Trump has backed down have no sense of reality. We have wiped out their navy. We have wiped out their air force. Their air defense is almost non-existent. After flying thousands of sorties, they have managed to down one of our aircraft, and we were able to go into their shitass country and pluck our two airmen out right under their noses. The libtards are so delusional they think that a country which has just suffered and overwhelming military defeat is going to dictate the terms to the country that decimated them. In what universe is that even possible.

Donald Trump has declared a PAUSE. We still hold the hammer and we are more the willing to drop it on Iran if they do not meet OUR TERMS.
No nuclear weapons program.
No long range missiles.
Free passage through the Strait of Hormuz for ALL ships.

They may not have agreed to those terms yet, but if they don't, we will continue to destroy what is left of their military and their infrastructure. They know we have that capability and there is nothing they can do to stop us. The key is Kharg Island which they cannot defend and they know it. If they lose that, they have no source of income. Even China won't have ny reason to continue to support them. Kharg Island is Iran's lifeline and it operates at our pleasure. We could destroy it completely in a matter of hours if we so choose. Trump doesn't want to take that step but he will if need be and the Iranians either know that or should know that. If they don't, they are only fooling themselves.

The people who vote with their dollars know this is a positive development. Crude oil prices have already fallen to double digits and Dow Futures are up over 1200 points with minutes before the opening bell. Libtards just can't bring themselves to give Donald Trump credit for anything so they make up this fiction that it is the Iranians dictating the terms of the cease fire. Their reaction is as pathetic as it is predictable. No one is surprised by it, only disgusted.

Donald Trump gave in to all of Iran's demands.

* Ships may use the Strait of Hormuz but must pay Iran two million dollars per ship. No freedom of the seas. And Trump agrees.

* America must withdraw our troops from our military bases in the Middle East. And Trump agrees.

* America must pay reparations for the damage our strikes caused to Iran. And Trump agrees.

We agreed to Iran's demands. Iran did not agree to America's demands.


* Iran has agreed to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. But each ship must pay two million dollars to Iran.

You must be getting your "facts" from MS NOW. Trump hasn't agreed to anything. He has given the Iranians two weeks to work out a deal. That is not backing down. That is a measured response to progress in negotiations. The Iranians denied they were even negotiating. Like everything else, they obviously were lying about that. If the Iranians don't negotiate in good faith and work out a deal that includes abandoning their nuclear program and long range missile program, Trump will follow through on his threat to destroy their infrastructure and either destroy Kharg Island or take it by force. Either way, the Iranian regime will lose its main source of income.

I suspect the Iranians are just stalling for time but for now our forces will get some R&R and we can rearm in advance of a total destruction of that country. Trump is not playing games. He showed last summer he wasn't bluffing and again when he attacked Iran with overwhelming force, wiping out the top tiers of their leadership in the process. He has given the Iranians an off ramp. They would be wise to take it or they will soon be a third world country with no significant means of income. Nobody wants to buy their sand.

ME: Is it true that the only thing Trump agreed to was a cease fire?

GROK: No, that's not accurate. President Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran (involving the US and Israel), but it includes additional conditions and is explicitly framed as a step toward broader negotiations.

Key Details of the Agreement

Ceasefire terms: Trump announced the US would suspend bombing and attacks on Iran for two weeks. This is conditional on Iran allowing the complete, immediate, and safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz (a critical oil shipping route that Iran had blockaded). Iran has indicated it will coordinate safe passage for vessels.

Broader context: Trump stated the US has "already met and exceeded all Military objectives" and is "very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East." Iran proposed a 10-point plan, which Trump described as a "workable basis on which to negotiate." Negotiations are set to continue (e.g., in Islamabad).

Not a standalone ceasefire: Both sides claim elements of victory. The pause buys time to finalize a longer-term deal. Israel supports the US-Iran pause for two weeks but has clarified it does not cover its separate operations (e.g., against Hezbollah in Lebanon).

This is a very recent development (announced April 7-8, 2026), following escalated conflict involving US/Israeli strikes on Iran and Iranian responses. Claims that it was "only a ceasefire" appear to oversimplify or selectively quote Trump's announcement, ignoring the Hormuz condition, the 10-point framework, and explicit references to ongoing peace talks.

The situation is fluid and described as a "fragile truce" by some officials, with potential for the ceasefire to start immediately or soon. For the absolute latest, check reliable news sources as details could evolve quickly.

I highlighted the only agreement I see.
