The threshold for approval has been set in stone, and no one even looks at the subsequent documents—first remove the chairs from the negotiation table, a classic Trump-style opening.

During an interview on a private jet, Trump said he does not support a U.S.-Iran ceasefire, and that the ceasefire should be proposed by other countries. He said he once paused hostilities to help Pakistan, and that Pakistan is great. He said the Iran proposal is unacceptable; if he does not agree with it, he will simply stop and not read what comes next. He also threatened to destroy Iran’s infrastructure, saying bridges and power systems could be paralyzed within two days; if Iran has any form of nuclear weapons, he will no longer read what comes next.
