FTA Israel has agreed to the ceasefire and will also suspend its strikes, a White House official said.


That's what they said about Palestine, but the strikes continue.


I saw that, but it would be good to hear it straight from Netanyahu himself.

Declaring someone an enemy does not automatically lead to war. America considered the USSR an enemy of democracy for 50 years. They never went directly to blows.


Sure, but Iran did sponsor proxies that did attack Israel. And whether something is direct war or proxy war feels more like meaningless semantics imo.

Historically speaking I think it's clear Iran has been the aggressor in this specific conflict.

Not that I think Israel took smart actions, but that's a different matter.


Korea was a proxy war between the US and China - which is very different from a direct war between those two countries, wouldn’t you say?


That proxy war never reached China or the US borders.

The Israel - Iran proxy war is happening on/in Israel's borders, it's way more "direct", and not happening in some far away land.

Could you imagine if a Chinese proxy attacked the US directly?


I'm specifically referring to the attacks on Iran that started this mess ~6 weeks ago. If the US and Iran agree, but Israel decides to continue bombing campaigns, then this ceasefire will be very short-lived.


The parent said war, and the aggressor of the 12 Day War is unquestionably Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-Day_War

  The Twelve-Day War [...] began when Israel bombed military and nuclear facilities in Iran in a surprise attack
