With the 8 pm Tuesday deadline for US strikes on Iran breathing down everyone's neck, President Donald Trump decided to slap on a two-week ceasefire like it’s an Insta filter – fully contingent on Iran's 'COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING' of the Strait of Hormuz, which is apparently treatable with goodwill and a stern tweet.
