Barbra Streisand recently took to Blue Sky to share a pointed observation about the latest ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. She quoted Representative Jim McGovern’s earlier post on X, which perfectly encapsulated the sentiment of many critics regarding President Donald Trump’s deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Per Indy 100, McGovern’s statement, which Streisand amplified, simply reads, “So he’ll stop bombing Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before he started bombing Iran. Got it.” The conditional ceasefire, mediated by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, allows shipping traffic to resume through the Strait of Hormuz. This development comes over a month after the US and Israel initiated coordinated attacks on Iran. Trump had previously issued stern warnings, even threatening that “a whole civilisation will die tonight” if Iran did not reopen the vital shipping lane. However, the agreement has been met with a wave of skepticism and criticism, particularly regarding the actual gains. This has been the most pointless war Trump quickly claimed a “total and complete victory” for the US on Truth Social, stating, “We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.” He also agreed to “suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” contingent on Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Conversely, Iran presented a vastly different narrative, asserting a “strategic victory” for itself: “The enemy has suffered an undeniable, historic and crushing defeat in its cowardly, illegal and criminal war against the Iranian nation.” They claimed Iran has “forced the criminal America to accept its 10-point plan.” “So he’ll stop bombing Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz which was open before he started bombing Iran. Got it.”Representative Jim McGovern— Barbra Streisand (@barbrastreisand.bsky.social) 2026-04-08T14:37:07.462Z According to the BBC, this plan includes several key demands, such as the complete cessation of war in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen, a “full commitment” to lifting sanctions on Iran, the release of Iranian funds and frozen assets held by the US, and a “full payment of compensation for reconstruction costs” to Iran. Iran also committed to “not seeking possession of any nuclear weapons.” Crucially, Iran stated that the Strait of Hormuz would be subject to “regulated passage… under the coordination of the armed forces of Iran.” This condition appears to directly contradict Trump’s demand for the shipping route to be fully open. You guys don't get Trump's 4D chess. He had to attack Iran in order to open the Strait of Hormuz which was open before he attacked Iran— Max Burns (@themaxburns) April 8, 2026 The sentiment shared by Streisand and McGovern resonated deeply with many online commentators, who pointed out a glaring inconsistency: the Strait of Hormuz was already open for shipping traffic before the US initiated its attacks. Harry Sisson articulated this on X, writing, “So Trump basically gave Iran everything they wanted and we got the Strait of Hormuz opening… which was already open before the war started. ART OF THE DEAL EVERYONE!” U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated that the US military would remain vigilant, ensuring Iran complies with the ceasefire and engages in further negotiations. He stressed that troops would “stay put, stay ready, stay vigilant” and be “ready to re-start at a moment’s notice.” What deal is this? pic.twitter.com/ZtZrJWxcDD— Arnold (@arnoldi254) April 8, 2026 The biggest conflict right now, is Lebanon. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Sharif stated that the ceasefire would take effect there as well. However, Israel stated that the “ceasefire does not include Lebanon,” renewing strikes in the south of the country, to target Hezbollah. Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, later reiterated that Lebanon was not included in the deal. In response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) promised a “regret-inducing response” if strikes on Lebanon continued. Problem created then confused why problem exists.Bro started the fire then asked why it's hot pic.twitter.com/XWRYfavLho— Hazel Grace (@hazelgrace026) April 8, 2026 Netanyahu later clarified that the ceasefire came into effect “in full coordination with Israel,” adding, “We have more goals to complete – and we will achieve them either by an agreement or by renewing the fighting. We are prepared to return to fighting at any moment necessary. Our finger is on the trigger.” In the midst of all this posturing, Pakistan has invited delegations to meet in Islamabad on Friday to “further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.” Vice President JD Vance will be heading there, with Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Although Leavitt has emphasized that “nothing is final until announced by the President or the White House.” Trump's 'ceasefire' collapsed in hours. Israel killed 300+ in Lebanon—he admits it's excluded. Hormuz still closed. Iran denies Gulf strikes as false flags. Vance begs in Islamabad while Tehran refuses talks. He got played by Netanyahu. No exit, no peace, just failure.— Daniel R (@danial55176) April 10, 2026 So while the world welcomes this ceasefire, to bring a “swift and lasting end” to the war, what is actually going to happen remains to be seen.
