United States President Donald Trump said on Monday that the Iran Ceasefire was extremely fragile, describing it as being on “life support” as tensions rise over the ongoing conflict.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, the US president said the truce had become increasingly weak following Iran’s rejection of Washington’s latest demands over the weekend.
“I would say it’s one of the weakest right now; it’s on life support,” he said.
He also disclosed in an interview with Fox News that the United States was considering restarting naval escorts for oil tankers and commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, although no final decision had been taken.
The escort initiative, known as Operation Freedom, was initially launched on May 6 but was discontinued less than two days later.
According to reports, the United States had presented Iran with conditions aimed at easing tensions, particularly measures intended to limit Tehran’s ability to expand its nuclear programme.
However, Trump dismissed Iran’s counter-proposals submitted over the weekend, describing them as “garbage.”
Despite the deadlock, the US president insisted Washington would not retreat from its position, stating that the United States remained determined to secure what he described as a complete victory.
“We’re going to have a complete victory,” he said.
“Iran thinks I’ll get tired of this. I’ll get bored, or I’ll have some pressure. But there’s no pressure.”
When asked about the possibility of continued negotiations with Iran, Trump said there were divisions within the Iranian leadership between moderates and hardliners.
