US President Donald Trump downplayed concerns regarding the fragility of the truce with Tehran, offering an unconventional definition of a ceasefire as "shooting in a more moderate way." In press statements, Trump explained that recent tensions were a mutual reaction,
noting that US forces launched preemptive strikes before attacks targeted Kuwait. In a striking escalation, Trump hinted at the US military's capability to inflict total destruction and completely eliminate threats. However, he simultaneously expressed his administration's openness to reaching a
written agreement that ensures the end of the conflict and curbs Iranian nuclear ambitions without resorting to an all-out military escalation that leads to massive casualties.
