US President Donald Trump on Monday said that the ceasefire with Iran is on "life support", adding that he is considering restarting naval escorts through the Strait of Hormuz. His remarks come a day after he rejected Iran's proposal to end the war between them, describing it as "totally unacceptable".
"It is at its weakest After reading that piece of garbage they sent us... It's on life support, massive life support," Trump told reporters at the Oval Office in White
House. "They think that I'll get tired of this, or I'll get bored, or I'll have some pressure, but there's no pressure, there's no pressure at all. We're going to have a complete victory."
Trump is now seeking a "complete victory" against the Iranians, whom he has repeatedly stressed that have been "militarily defeated". The war at present has been paused following a ceasefire on April 8, but the two sides have failed to arrive on a consensus over a peace deal.
