Did the Iranian diplomats ask the IRGC if they agree to this ceasefire? Not sure they did.
As @iewgnem said, likely this is just a "ceasefire" between the US and Iran.
Meaning that Iran just stops bombing the US bases in return for the US throwing Israel & GCC under the bus lol.
Most spectacular TACO ever. During this time, the US also implicitly accepts Iran's jurisdiction over the Hormuz.
There are several non negotiable agreement on the Iranian side.
US wants Iran to dismantle their proxy allies but Iran rejected that
Iran wants to use SOH as a toll booth. US doesn't want that to happen
US wants Iran to discontinue their ballistic missile program. Iran rejected that

No way US will ever agree to leave the Middle East in a ceasefire. It’s just a ruse to restock and regroup. I think Iranian diplomats agreed to a ceasefire but the IRGC wasn’t consulted. When has the US ever agreed to any deal. Trump has broken every deal when he feels like it.

The fact that the US has fallen so low that it is now hiding behind humiliating surrender terms drafted by Iran, even while trying to use them as another instrument of perfidy, is already a huge defeat by itself.
US leaving Middle East the current on-ground reality, they only have to accept it.No way US will ever agree to leave the Middle East in a ceasefire. It’s just a ruse to restock and regroup.

And even that's debatable because Iran is currently bombing Prince Sultan Airbase

US sent 150+ planes to Iran to rescue a hundred of SOF, I wonder where they flew from? Saudi?
Why did you think there were 48 tankers for 64 fighters? lolUS sent 150+ planes to Iran to rescue a hundred of SOF, I wonder where they flew from? Saudi?
And even that's assuming they were actually used in this operation, and not just total number of US air assets available in total, because this assumption require Trump to tell the truce with numbers for once.
And no I don't think US is dumb enough to park any more planes in Saudi after losing 2x E-3 there.
