Donald Trump has said Iran’s “new regime” has asked the US for a ceasefire
Taking to TruthSocial today, the US President said the country’s “less radicalised and far more intelligent” new leaders have called on the White House to end the fighting in the Middle East.
In the same post, he said the US will continue to “blast Iran into Oblivion” until a peace deal is agreed.
It is unclear who this “new regime president” is, with the newly appointed Ayotollah believed to be a harder-line leader than his predecessor.
Trump wrote: “Iran’s New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!
“We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!”
Trump’s comments come after the US President launched a fresh attack on his NATO allies, branding the alliance a “paper tiger” and warning he is “strongly considering” pulling out of the pact.
Speaking to the Telegraph on Wednesday, the US President slammed his allies’ response to the war he launched on Iran without their support.
When asked if he could pull the US out of NATO, he said: “Oh yes, I would say [it’s] beyond reconsideration.
“I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way.”
He added: “Beyond not being there, it was actually hard to believe. And I didn’t do a big sale. I just said, ‘Hey’, you know, I didn’t insist too much. I just think it should be automatic.
“We’ve been there automatically, including Ukraine. Ukraine wasn’t our problem. It was a test, and we were there for them, and we would always have been there for them. They weren’t there for us.”
Turning his anger to the UK specifically, he said: “You don’t even have a navy. You’re too old and had aircraft carriers that didn’t work.
When asked if Sir Keir Starmer should invest more in defence, Trump added: “I’m not going to tell him what to do.
“He can do whatever he wants. It doesn’t matter. All Starmer wants is costly windmills that are driving your energy prices through the roof.”
