Donald Trump has gathered his national security team together to discuss a ‘way forward’ on the Iran war after revealing that the ongoing ceasefire is on ‘life support.’
This comes after the U.S. President revealed that the ongoing ceasefire is on ‘life support.’
Trump on Monday rejected Tehran’s latest peace proposal without even bothering to finish reading it because it did not agree to his demand that Iran turn over its uranium stockpile.
‘Unbelievably weak,’ Trump said when asked if the ceasefire was still in place. ‘I would call it the weakest right now after reading that piece of garbage they sent us … didn’t even finish reading it.’
He continued, ‘The ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, “Sir, your loved one has approximately a one percent chance of living.”‘
Trump gathered members of his national security team at the White House to discuss next steps on Monday after peace deal negotiations hit a dead end, according to Axios.
Tehran has reportedly demanded that the US end its naval blockade of Iranian ports, release billions of dollars in frozen Iranian bank assets, and establish security guarantees for the regime’s militant allies in Lebanon.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry accused US diplomats of ‘making unreasonable’ and ‘excessive demands.’
Trump wants Tehran to hand over its entire stockpile to the US, while Iran has only offered to transfer it to an allied country such as Russia.
During the his press conference, Trump also claimed Iran is willing to give up it’s ‘nuclear dust.’
He said only China and the US have the capability to retrieve the stockpile, which was buried under rubble by American strikes last year.
