Jessica Tarlov gives grim take on Trump's Iran deal, says 'there is no ceasefire'

WASHINGTON, DC: Jessica Tarlov, a Fox News commentator, criticized President Donald Trump for his recent deal with Iran, saying that the situation on the ground does not show a real ceasefire.

Tarlov asked on ‘The Five’ how well the agreement worked, which Trump called a two-week break in fighting. People are still confused about the deal's details and how it will be carried out.

Jessica Tarlov questions ceasefire, cites ongoing conflict

During the discussion, Tarlov said “there is no ceasefire,” pointing to continued military activity following the announcement.

When co-host Greg Gutfeld asked Tarlov for her take on the deal, Tarlov called the two-week pause “a complete fiction,” claiming that even many supporters of the president saw the clear flaws in the agreement.

“I stand, I think, in reality that there is no ceasefire. I was watching coverage of this last night, flipping around, obviously watching your show, Jesse [Watters], and perusing some other channels, and there were split screens between, you know, “White House announces ceasefire” and missiles raining down on the Israelis,” she said.

She noted that reports of strikes and counterattacks emerged shortly after the agreement was declared. “We know that Israel was sending rockets back to Iran. We know what today has looked like in Lebanon with what the Israelis are doing there. It’s one of the highest death toll days.”

She added, “So, the ceasefire was a complete fiction. And what JD Vance is saying and the White House now, Karoline Leavitt, that those ten points were completely unacceptable, that’s only because some of the biggest boosters of the administration came out and said, “Are you kidding me? Look at what you are agreeing to.”’

Tarlov said the situation appeared unclear and inconsistent, suggesting that the agreement lacked a unified understanding among those involved.

Debate continues over effectiveness of deal

Her remarks come as confusion continues over the details and implementation of the deal.

“We already took off $14 billion in sanctions. This would go even further, and Donald Trump would be the first president, certainly in recent memory, that didn’t have economic sanctions on Iran,” Jessica said.

The ceasefire itself was announced as a temporary pause aimed at reducing tensions after weeks of escalation between the US and Iran. However, details surrounding its scope and enforcement have remained contested.

Trump called the deal a success, but some people have questioned whether it will help achieve long-term goals.

Reports say that the deal is based on a proposal from Iran and has conditions like reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which is an important shipping route in the world.

At the same time, people have started to see the agreement in different ways. Iranian officials have said that the US broke the rules, but US officials have denied those claims, showing that there are still disagreements.
