Stop Calling It a Ceasefire
The article argues that the term 'ceasefire' is being misused by mainstream American media to describe ongoing military conflicts between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. It highlights recent Iranian missile attacks on Kuwait's airport, U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, and media headlines that label these actions as occurring 'amid a ceasefire,' despite the continued violence and casualties in regions like Gaza and south Lebanon.
