Iran Responds Firmly to Trump!
Foreign media reported early today (March 26): "President Trump's 15-point ceasefire proposal to Iran has been firmly rejected; as Tehran continues its attacks on Israel and Persian Gulf states, it has reiterated five key preconditions for a truce, emphasizing: 'When the war ends is entirely up to Iran's decision.'
The joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran have lasted nearly a month, leaving Trump in a precarious position. Iran's firm response is not reckless—it clearly recognizes America's predicament: Trump is trapped, his hopes for a quick victory have vanished, domestic pressure is mounting, and even allies are drifting away. By presenting these 'five conditions,' Iran turns the tables strategically, aiming to seize control of the negotiation process and force the U.S. to compromise and retreat.
"The timing of ending the war can only be decided by Iran"—this statement is both a strategic declaration and a potent psychological weapon. Despite suffering casualties over recent months, Iran has not been seriously damaged. On the contrary, it has demonstrated resilience through missile raids and Strait blockades. Iran understands well: hegemony cannot afford a prolonged war. Thus, its strategy is to endure the attrition and secure the most favorable terms. The coming negotiations will test not just military strength, but also strategic endurance and political wisdom.
