因為Old Donald對Tehran流氓政權發出最後通牒, 全世界在接近US Eastern Time Tuesday 8:00 pm (00:00 GMT)時, 都屏息靜待Old Donald與以色列對伊朗發動毀滅性的打擊 (I)
因為Old Donald對中東的亂源Tehran流氓政權發出最後通牒, 幾乎全世界的人在接近US Eastern Time Tuesday 8:00 pm (00:00 GMT)時, 可能都要停止呼吸, 看看Old Donald與 PM Benjamin Natanyahu是否真會對伊朗發動毀滅性的打擊.
但在 US Eastern time Tuesday 6:32 pm(22:32 GMT)出現了奇蹟, Old Donald改變了主意, 即便有些好事者可能又要嘲笑他是個TACO, 但多數的世人應該還是會肯定他change course.

Trump announces two-week ceasefire as Iran agrees to reopen Hormuz Strait
Iran has said that safe passage through Hormuz will be possible through coordination with its armed forces.
Published On 7 Apr 2026
He credited Pakistan for mediating the settlement, but warned it came with conditions – namely that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” Trump wrote.
The message was posted online at 6:32pm US Eastern time (22:32 GMT), just under one and a half hours before Trump’s 8pm (00:00 GMT) deadline for the attack.
Shortly after Trump’s message, Iran’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi confirmed that a tentative agreement had been reached.
“If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations,” Araghchi wrote.
“For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations.”
Araghchi likewise thanked Pakistan for its last-minute appeal to suspend the US bombing campaign. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council also hinted in a separate statement that the ceasefire could be extended beyond its initial two weeks if negotiations proceed favourably.
In the lead-up to the Thursday evening announcement, there had been speculation that Trump might extend the deadline, as he has multiple times in recent weeks.
But tensions had mushroomed on Tuesday as the deadline inched closer – and after Trump himself posted a menacing message on social media that morning.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Trump had written. “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”
He added that the evening deadline would mark “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World”.
Trump had previously threatened to blow up power plants, bridges and other civilian infrastructure, actions that many legal experts said would amount to a war crime.
In his Tuesday evening message, the US president once again claimed victory over Iran and said that Tehran had delivered a feasible ceasefire proposal.
“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE,” Trump wrote.
“The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.”
Trump explained that the next two weeks would be spent finalising the agreement with Iran. But he voiced optimism that any past disagreements had been resolved.
“Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran,” Trump said.
“It is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution,” he added.
‘The one who lit the fuse’
Al Jazeera correspondent Osama Bin Javaid noted that Trump’s latest announcement was likely to be welcomed by US allies in the Middle East, who had been bracing for a heavy attack on Iran and the possibility of counterattacks.
“That is going to be a big sigh of relief, collectively from the region and beyond, because the alternative was so horrific,” Bin Javaid said.
“The level of anxiety around the region was extraordinary, and Donald Trump was the only person who could defuse it, because he’s the one who lit the fuse in the first place.”
Trump’s announcement was initially met with scepticism and confusion on the ground in Tehran, where some questioned how much of the conflict would be paused under the ceasefire.
“It’s not clear, at least not to me, whether he’s suspending what is already going on since the beginning of the war entirely, or he’s extending the deadline for that ultimate destruction of the power plants,” Al Jazeera correspondent Mohamed Vall said from Tehran.
The war has been raging for more than five weeks, since Israel and the US launched a joint military offensive against Iran on February 28.
Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have argued that the offensive was necessary to eliminate Iran as a regional threat and prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
But legal experts have described the offensive as an unprovoked attack, in violation of international law.
Already, nearly 2,076 people have been killed in Iran since the start of the war. Another 28 people have been killed in nearby Gulf states.
The US, meanwhile, has lost 13 military members, while 26 people have been killed in Israel.
Focus on Hormuz Strait
Shortly after the war erupted, Iran moved to choke off traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway through which nearly 20 percent of the world’s oil and natural gas travels.
That has caused gasoline prices to skyrocket across the globe, including in the US, where Trump has faced domestic criticism, including from his conservative base.
For weeks, Trump has pressured key US allies, including NATO members and countries like Japan and South Korea, to join in the fight and reopen the strait.
He predicted that “many countries” would send warships, but none have moved to do so, beyond defensive manoeuvres.
Starting in late March, Trump began to threaten Iran’s energy grid if the strait were not reopened.
But each time, he pushed back the date for his planned attack. On March 23, he postponed his attack for a five-day period, citing progress in negotiations. Then, on March 26, as that deadline approached, he announced another delay until early April.
Experts say Tuesday’s two-week postponement raises critical questions, including whether Israel would abide by the ceasefire Trump has agreed to.
“Generally, Israel has tended to follow the directions of this particular administration, although some have argued that this administration is in the war because of Israel’s urging,” said Al Jazeera correspondent Mike Hanna.
There are also lingering concerns about whether Israel would end its strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as Iran’s other regional allies, despite breaking similar agreements in the past.
Trita Parsi, vice president at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, said that it is absolutely possible for the US to rein in Israel’s attacks in the region, but it may come with a political cost for Trump and his Republican allies.
“ We haven’t seen Trump being able to sustain that pressure on the Israelis,” Parsi said.
Still, Parsi explained that Israel may not want to take the risk of defying Trump’s wishes, only to end up facing Iran alone.
“I don’t think that these Israelis actually can sustain themselves in a war with Iran without active American support. And if they’re doing it against American wishes, then, obviously, they would take a huge risk of seeing potentially the United States stay out of that war,” he said.
“The Israelis facing Iran alone is not a scenario that they want to be in.”

Trump Threatens to Destroy an Entire Nation
The president’s position is that if he wants to wipe out a “whole civilization,” then that is his decision to make.
April 7, 2026, 11:44 AM ET
This morning, as his 8 p.m. eastern deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and make other concessions looms, President Trump threatened to wipe the country out entirely.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Trump declared on Truth Social. “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” The president did express hope that “different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail,” which would prevent such an attack. Bizarrely, he ended with a benediction for the same people he had just threatened to slaughter: “God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
Though Trump rarely speaks clearly, this threat would appear to meet the definition of genocide under the 1948 United Nations convention: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” The president has spent the past few days warning that he would attack civilian infrastructure, which most experts agree would constitute a war crime, but an apparently explicit threat of civilizational erasure is unheard of outside of cartoon villains; even most real-world génocidaires have denied that’s what they’re doing.

[僅供參考,這不代表David Chou的立場] More than 200 Organizations and Experts Call for an End to Trump’s Threats of War Crimes and Call for Accountability
April 7, 2026
We the undersigned human rights, humanitarian, civil liberties, faith-based and environmental organizations, think tanks and experts are deeply alarmed by President Trump’s threat regarding Iran that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if his demands are not met. Such language describes a grave atrocity if carried out. A threat to wipe out “a whole civilization” may amount to a threat of genocide. Genocide is a crime defined by the Genocide Convention and by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as committing one or more of several acts “with intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, racial or religious groups as such.”
The law is clear that civilians must not be targeted, and they must also be protected from indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks. Strikes on civilian infrastructure – such as the recent attack on a bridge and the attacks President Trump is repeatedly threatening to carry out to destroy power plants - have devastating consequences for the civilian population and environment.
We urge all parties to respect international law. Those responsible for atrocities, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, can and must be held accountable.
The undersigned remind those engaged in military operations of their obligation to refuse any patently unlawful order. Anyone who orders, carries out, or is otherwise complicit in President Trump’s abhorrent threats must be held accountable.
