Iran declared victory, Trump requested ceasefire until 21/4 - Insidious Israel sabotages truce and strikes Lebanon

An incredible historic development took place in the Iranian crisis just before Trump's ultimatum expired and before he unleashed the "hell" that would supposedly vanish Iran… the Americans backed down and announced that they are proceeding with a 15-day ceasefire and accept Iran's 10-point proposal as the basis for a Peace Agreement. Indeed, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran declared victory over the US and Israel, who suffered a historic defeat at the hands of Iran.

According to the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, the American military machine was destroyed in the Middle East... this announcement, however, annoyed US President Trump, who for his part spoke of a complete victory and a great day for World Peace. This development is tremendously good news for Iran, the Middle East, the world, stock markets, and oil prices, as the crisis de-escalates and catastrophe is averted. Negotiations between the US and Iran will be held in Pakistan, which was the central mediator; they will start on April 10, 2026, and last until April 21, 2026, though an extension is possible. The US accepted to essentially capitulate; it is a historic and magnificent victory for Iran.

US-Iran negotiations in Pakistan on 10/4 – Led by J.D. Vance and Ghalibaf

In Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, critical negotiations between the US and Iran are expected to take place next Friday, April 10, aiming for the 2-week ceasefire agreement to result in a permanent peace solution. It is estimated that the negotiating teams will be led by the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and the Vice President of the US, J.D. Vance.

However, the Iranian news agency Tasnim reports that unlike some media outlets stating the head of the Iranian delegation has been appointed, this matter has not yet been finalized. According to Tasnim, a reliable source states that the Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council, the three branches of government, and other relevant officials are examining all aspects and necessary conditions for the negotiations with extreme consistency, and official announcements will follow soon. The same source advised the media, due to the sensitive nature of the situation, to avoid unfounded speculation and the publication of unconfirmed news.

A lot of money will be made. Iran can start the rebuilding process. We will be loading supplies of all kinds and just 'waiting' to make sure everything goes well. I am sure it will.

"Israel was not even at the table when decisions were being made concerning the core of our national security," Lapid underlined, adding that while "the armed forces executed everything asked of them and the people showed remarkable resilience," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "failed diplomatically, failed strategically, and achieved none of the goals he himself had set."

Notably, the Israeli army launched new attacks in Lebanon following the ceasefire agreement, while issuing a warning to residents of the city of Tyre to evacuate...

Supreme National Security Council of Iran: US and Israel suffered a historic defeat from Iran... - The American military machine was destroyed in the Middle East

The Americans and Israel suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat in their cowardly, illegal, and criminal war against the Iranian nation, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran emphasized in a statement. Thanks to the pure and innocent blood of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Highness Khamenei, to the measures of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, His Highness Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, to the struggle and bravery of the warriors of Islam at the fronts, and especially, to the historic, enduring, and epic presence of you, the dear nation, in the spotlight from the very first days of the war, Iran achieved a great victory and forced criminal America to accept its 10-point plan, in which the United States commits in principle to guarantee non-aggression, Iran will continue to control the Strait of Hormuz, they accept enrichment, lift all primary and secondary sanctions, end all Security Council and Board of Governors resolutions, pay reparations to Iran, withdraw American combat forces from the region, and stop the war on all fronts, including the heroic Lebanese Islamic resistance. We congratulate all the people of Iran on this victory and emphasize that until the details of this victory are finalized, there is still a need for perseverance and prudence on the part of the authorities and for maintaining the unity and solidarity of the Iranian people.

Iran managed historic strikes against Americans and Israelis

Islamic Iran, along with the brave resistance fighters in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and occupied Palestine, has dealt strikes to the enemy over the past 40 days that the world's historic memory will never forget. Iran and the axis of resistance, as representatives of honor and humanity against humanity's most savage enemies, have taught them an unforgettable lesson after a historic battle and have crushed their forces, facilities, infrastructure, and all their political, economic, technological, and military capital to such an extent that the enemy has now fallen into decline and despair and sees no other way than to surrender to the will of the great Iranian nation and the noble axis of resistance that preceded it. On the first day when the criminal enemies of Iran started this cruel war, they thought they would achieve full military dominance over Iran in a short time and, by creating political and social instability, Iran would be forced into capitulation. They thought that Iran's missile and drone strikes would quickly subside and did not believe that Iran could give them such a powerful response beyond its borders and across the entire region.

Evil global Zionism was defeated

Evil global Zionism had convinced the ignorant US President that this war would finish off Iran and that by eliminating this last stronghold of humanity, they could now easily commit any crime against anyone they wanted. They dreamed of dividing Iran, plundering its oil and wealth, and finally sinking and abandoning the Iranians amidst chaos, instability, and insecurity for many years.

Iran's unity is terrible – The American military machine was destroyed in the Middle East

With this strategy and relying on the unprecedented political and social unity created in the country, Iran and the resistance started one of the most difficult combined battles in history with America and the Zionist regime, and during this period achieved all the goals they had planned for this battle. Iran and the resistance almost completely destroyed the American military machine in the region, dealt crushing and deep strikes to the plethora of infrastructure and facilities the enemy had built and developed in the region all these years for this war with Iran, caused massive losses to the criminal American army on a regional scale, dealt devastating and crushing strikes to the enemy's forces, infrastructure, facilities, and assets within the occupied territories, and narrowed the field on all fronts for the enemy to such an extent that not only was none of the enemy's main goals achieved, but the enemy realized about 10 days after the start of the war that they could not win this war in any way, and for this reason, started trying to communicate with Iran through various channels and methods and request a ceasefire.

The good news: Peace negotiations start between Iran and the US

Trump's position for the peace agreement will be based on Iran's 10-point proposal. We now give the great nation of Iran the good news that almost all the goals of the war have been achieved and your brave sons have led the enemy to a historic weakness and a lasting defeat. Iran's historic decision, which enjoys the unified support of the entire nation, is to continue this battle for as long as needed until its great achievements are established and new security and political equations are created in the region based on the acceptance of the power and sovereignty of Iran and the resistance. In this sense, and according to the advice of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, and taking into account Iran's superiority on the battlefield, and the enemy's inability to carry out its threats despite all claims, and the official acceptance of all the legitimate demands of the Iranian people, it was decided to conduct negotiations in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, to finalize the details, so that within a maximum of 15 days, with the finalization of the details of Iran's victory on the battlefield, it can also be established in political negotiations.

The 10 signs of Satan's great defeat and Iran's victory... according to Iranian media

Satan and his accomplices suffered such a defeat in the field of defense that it will become a historic turning point in military history. According to the news agency Tasnim, 10 signs of Satan's great defeat and Iran's victory in the Third War of Nehemiah are as follows:

1. The most important strategic goal of the enemy, namely the overthrow of the Islamic Republic, failed and became an unattainable dream for Satan and his partners. The enemy was practically helpless in this field.

2. Trump the devil, and his partners stated they wanted to destroy Iran's military power through military force; they admitted they would take this wish to the grave.

3. Satan and his partners stated that instead of a political agreement, they wanted to remove nuclear materials from Iran by military force and force Iran to surrender in the nuclear sector. In this regard, they created a historic scandal.

4. Satan and his partners stated that Iran must accept the limitation of its missile capabilities either by words or by force. There is no indication of this in the Iranian 10-point plan that Trump was forced to accept.

5. Satan and his partners stated they wanted to end Great Iran by bombing Iran and activating separatists. The separatist groups were stifled so much in their infancy that this became a historic lesson.

6. Satan and his partners stated they wanted to open the Strait of Hormuz by military force. Not only did this finally not happen, but they accepted Iran's condition to define a new legal status for the strait as a basis for negotiations.

7. Satan and his partners said the system of the Islamic Republic must collapse. Not only did the Islamic Republic become stronger, but the same system of the Islamic Republic rejected their 15-point plan and put its own 10-point plan on the table.

8. Satan and his partners suffered such a defeat in the field of defense that it will become a historic military turning point.

9. America's military shame will fundamentally change the global military and security order. Iran gave the world a great gift and removed America's honor. This lost honor will never be restored to America's military credibility. And the global order will change.

10. Satan's regional partners have realized that dependence on America is like relying on the wind, and from now on, significant events will happen in the field of international relations.
