Ceasefire Out of Nowhere: Another Masterstroke by President Donald Trump


Some might argue that only the Israeli military rivals President Trump in sophistication, courage, and strategic genius.
And when these two forces are coordinated, the achievements that can be reached in a short time span are truly extraordinary.
While humiliating Iran in the realm of foreign policy, thanking them for the heads-up on their "retaliation", the President was already cooking up a ceasefire.
As Israel was bombing the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards, work was already underway toward a Truce.
It’s true that both Bibi and Trump draw massive ratings, but the media always seems one step behind them.
It’s this unorthodox thinking, represented by both Israeli and American leadership—that turns these two nations into the strongest forces in the Middle East, and arguably the world.
Israel, true to tradition, will likely agree to a ceasefire, as it usually does when the proposal comes from the Americans.
This also presents a golden opportunity for Jerusalem to close the circle in Gaza and complete what began in October 2023. On the other hand, Trump avoids full-scale war. Iran may be licking its wounds, but gets to keep the regime.
Iran has now learned its lesson about the U.S. President.
Now it has learned that there is no choice but to fear, obey, and respect this president. The Iranian regime comes out of this ordeal quite luckily.
And we cannot rule out that after these blows, there might still be an attempt to topple the Ayatollah regime.
Even as he shakes hands with both Israel and Iran, Trump may already be working behind the scenes to bring down the regime—not necessarily out of personal vengeance (which he’s already achieved), but mainly for the benefit of the Iranian people.
In a striking contrast to Russian, Chinese, and European foreign policy, the US president is never banal, he always able to flip the table, ready to reinvent himself and shock the world on his way to achieving the preferable strategic outcome.
He took down the Iranian nuclear program and less than 500 people died. Not bad.
It's no wonder Henry Kissinger, (whether you like him or not) described in 2021 his Middle Eastern policy as "Genius".
