It seems like Iran wants to determine th details of the ceasefire because they have the upper hand.

I think the ceasefire has been faked to make it look like Iran violated it.

It seems to have been "requested" by Israel because they are defenseless, but they wanted to save to face so they had Trump announce it and impose the terms. Iran is now setting the terms of the ceasefire as the victor in the contest.

That is what it kinda looks like. Doesn't seem hopeful for Palestinians, if not suing for more on their behalf

It does not look hopeful for them at all.

I recently watched a woman screaming, picking up the chunks of a child's body in her arms and realizing she had nowhere to take them. the fear and sadness in their faces...

I'm doing what I can and it's not enough. It's selfish to care about my own hope, the thought of Gazans losing the hope Iran gave them is too much.

My fear is by doing this cease fire now, they are both allowing Israel to re-arm and they look weak given this come right of the heals of the US attack

Iran doesn't really care if you think they look weak. Their people think they are strong, Israel knows they are strong. That's really all that matters on the image front. As for allowing Israel to re-arm, yes that's a problem.
