US President Donald Trump says a ceasefire is “on life support” after meeting with US military generals, according to multiple reports. In the same comments, Trump criticises Iran and its proposed approach to ending the conflict, saying Iran’s counter-proposal is a “piece of garbage” that he did not fully read. The outlets report that Trump also uses harsh language about Iran’s leadership, calling them “stupid.”
The reports also state that Trump slams Kurdish groups, though the specific criticisms vary in emphasis across coverage. Taken together, the accounts describe Trump portraying the ceasefire as fragile while simultaneously questioning the substance and credibility of Iran’s proposal. The meeting with generals is presented as part of his briefing ahead of continued US engagement on the conflict. All three sources focus on the president’s public statements and their tone, rather than providing new details of the ceasefire terms or diplomatic process.
