Trump says ceasefire with Iran is "on life support."

The U.S. will achieve a "complete victory" over Iran, he added, having already weakened Iran's military forces, damaged its navy and missile arsenals, and eliminated several key leaders. "They think I'll get tired of this, or I'll get bored," Trump said. "Frankly, their leaders have been killed at the first level, second level, and half of the third level. Then they come back and want to negotiate, and they give us a stupid proposal. Nobody would take it." After Trump's rejection, Iran's foreign ministry on Sunday defended the country's demands as "reasonable," "responsible," and "generous." The president's harsh rejection comes amid a fragile month-long ceasefire, marked by military strikes and small-scale attacks in the Persian Gulf. Gas prices have remained persistently high since the start of the conflict, putting significant pressure on the Trump administration with the midterm elections approaching. The U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes in Tehran back in February, killing the country's supreme leader. However, the conflict has become unpopular with the American public and has disrupted global energy markets, all while Trump insists that the goal is to eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities. "A lot of people said, 'Well, does he have a plan?' Yes, the best plan ever," Trump said on Monday. "It's a very simple plan. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And they won't." However, Trump said that there is still room for a diplomatic solution between the two nations. "It is very possible. I've had a deal with them four or five times," Trump said. "They change their mind. They are very dishonorable people, the leadership."
