Recent reporting from the Financial Times reveals it was President Trump, not the Iranian government, who was begging for a ceasefire.
FT reports that the Trump administration had been privately pushing for a ceasefire for weeks to alleviate the economic strain caused by Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, and depending on Pakistan for mediation. Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir was communicating with Iranian officials, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Vice President JD Vance, and Trump himself even after the president threatened to wipe out Iranian civilization on Tuesday.
According to the five people familiar with the diplomatic back channel, Trump had been asking for a ceasefire since as early as March 21, when he first threatened to bomb Iran’s power plants.
This contradicts virtually everything the Trump administration has claimed about Iran—that Trump’s constant bombings and threats of extinction caused a wounded, demoralized Iranian regime to limp to the negotiating table, desperate for a deal with the U.S.
If Russia was not currently on day fucking 1000 or w/e of its 3 day military operation, Putin would be laughing so hard that it might kill him.
Yeah, Trump somehow managed to get cucked by both Putin and Netanyahu.
Oh right, that somehow is raping and murdering kids alongside his best pal Epstein, who seems to have essentially been a mutual intelligence ‘asset’ of the CIA, Mossad, and the FSB.
Woops, went in to clean up the deep state, but we sent for the job the deep state’s dumbest soldier.
