Trump not only accepts Iran's 10-point ceasefire proposal, but also plans to send money to Iran?
Trump's statements regarding a U.S.-Iran ceasefire raise serious doubts about whether he has actually carefully reviewed Iran's 10-point ceasefire proposal.
On one hand, on the 7th, Trump posted two tweets in quick succession, harshly criticizing CNN for exposing Iran’s negotiation terms as "fake news," and claiming he had already released Iran's official statement.
But in fact, what Trump referred to as the "official Iranian statement" was actually made by Iran's Foreign Minister, Zarif—and this very statement also mentioned Iran's 10-point negotiation proposal. This creates a strange impression: it seems Trump may be planning to secretly agree to a ceasefire with Iran while keeping the public in the dark, then gradually negotiate the final terms with Iran later.
On the other hand, Trump subsequently posted another tweet stating that Iran is about to embark on a reconstruction process, and that the U.S. will deliver various supplies, with massive funds flowing into Iran—suggesting he might actually be preparing to send money to Iran.
Meanwhile, the website "Digital News" revealed that several hours before Trump announced the ceasefire, the Pentagon and U.S. military forces in the Middle East were preparing to carry out a large-scale bombing campaign against Iran. Trump’s decision "caused great confusion," as no one anticipated he would suddenly accept the ceasefire. Even his closest aides were bewildered by his move, and multiple individuals who had spoken with Trump just days earlier remained convinced he would reject the proposal until he actually announced the ceasefire.
