BREAKING: "Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it."
"The world's leading state sponsor of terrorism proved utterly incapable of defending itself, its people, or its territory." - Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
@LizaRosen0000 The terrorist regime of Mullahs and the IRGC can NEVER be trusted.
They have many colours and shades.
Corrupt and deceitful to the bone.
President Trump,
During this 2 week ceasefire, the regime will mass execute Iranians on a scale never before seen. The mullahs are still in power. There has been NO regime change.
There can never be long term peace with these monsters.
Woke up with a heavy heart today.
Leaving the Islamic Republic in power feels like a huge mistake, all we had to do was continue.
They won’t stop building long-range missiles, supporting terrorist groups, enriching uranium, or executing Iranians.
I hope there’s a bigger plan.
It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation.
We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction.
Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade.
Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace.
Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country.
Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.
