"Ceasefire in the Worst Possible Condition"
Trump Accuses Iran of Changing Its Stance and Criticizes Tehran

U.S. President Donald Trump, on the 11th (local time), pressured Iran by stating that the ceasefire with Iran is barely holding and that he is considering resuming the suspended 'Project Freedom.'


When asked by reporters at the White House about the status of the ceasefire with Iran, President Trump said, "It is in an unbelievably weak state," adding, "Right now, the ceasefire can be described as being in the worst possible condition."


President Trump said, "I just read a piece of trash—actually, I didn't even finish reading it," adding, "The current ceasefire is at its most vulnerable, and it's essentially on life support."


He continued, "To put it diagnostically, this ceasefire is undergoing 'massive life support,'" and elaborated, "It's a situation where a doctor comes in and says there's about a 1% chance."

President Trump pointed out that Iran's proposal is unacceptable and foolish, claiming that Iran has changed its stance. He said, "We understood that Iran would not possess nuclear weapons for a long time and that they would guarantee a few minor matters. So they agreed with us, but later reversed their position."


That day, prior to his conversation with reporters at the White House, President Trump said in a Fox News interview that he is reviewing the resumption of Project Freedom.


Fox News, reporting on President Trump's remarks, added, "President Trump said that this time, the guidance of U.S. military vessels in the Strait of Hormuz would be just a small part of a larger military operation." However, Fox News reported that no final decision has been made yet.



Meanwhile, President Trump launched Project Freedom on the 4th to assist merchant ships trapped in the Strait of Hormuz. However, citing significant progress in ceasefire negotiations with Iran, he suspended the operation on the 5th, just one day after its initiation.
