It looks like Trump has scolded Israel and Iran into keeping their ceasefire

President Trump responded with anger when there was continued fire between Israel and Iran after a U.S.-brokered cease-fire went into effect. But in subsequent hours, there were initial signs that the cease-fire might be holding.

Israel said on Tuesday that it was lifting nearly all wartime restrictions on civilian movement and economic activity, and the Israeli airport authority said Ben Gurion and Haifa airports are returning to full activity.

Israel had earlier Tuesday confirmed the cease-fire, saying it had achieved its war aims having removed a “dual existential threat” from Iran’s nuclear and ballistic-missile programs. Iran’s foreign minister had said his country would stop its attacks as long as Israel did. Trump also made clear the U.S. wasn’t seeking a regime change in Iran.

Trump announced the cease-fire on social media Monday evening, hours after Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar in a telegraphed attack that caused no injuries or deaths. Trump said the early notice and lack of casualties left the door open for an end to the fighting.

Mr Trump had earlier said that Iran and Israel “didn’t know what the f*** they were doing” to news reporters, illustrating his anger at the two countries possibly breaking the ceasefire.

Because of what Trump did for Israel in using an American bunker busting bomb to destroy an Iranian nuclear facility, he has leverage to get Israel to do what he wants. Iran, which has been routed in this war, wants a cessation as well.

While it is very possible that this ceasefire could be broken, at the moment, it seems like hostilities have come to an end.
