U.S. President Introduces Controversial Concept of Ceasefire, Threatens to Wipe Out Iranian Civilization or Seek an Agreement

The U.S. President sparked widespread controversy after proposing a new definition for a ceasefire in dealings with Iran, describing it as "shooting more gently." In press statements, he explained that U.S. forces had launched strong preemptive strikes against Iranian threats, framing the Iranian responses as a reaction to American actions. He warned of the volatile nature of dealing with Tehran, highlighting his country's immense military capabilities that could "wipe out Iranian civilization." However, he simultaneously expressed a clear preference for reaching a comprehensive written agreement that ends the conflict and curbs Iran's nuclear ambitions without resorting to the option of total escalation.
