      I can’t find any record of them bringing the planes back except for trump claiming it happened. Journalists seem to agree Israel completed their strike on a radar installation in retaliation for a missile fired right as the ceasefire was going into effect.

        The nut of it. Trump wants to be able to parade around DC and say he Ended The War With Iran.

        If Israel keeps bombing Iran, it makes Donald Trump look bad. They’re obstructing his victory lap and getting in the way of a bunch of cable news networks posting “Mission Accomplished” over his face.
