Former US President Donald Trump has reiterated that he alone will decide the course of action regarding the ongoing ceasefire with Iran. According to the report, Trump believes that Iran has been weakened by economic sanctions, restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, and penalties imposed on individuals and institutions. He maintains that these pressures will eventually force Iran to negotiate, but only under conditions set by the United States.

Despite differing realities, Trump continues to publicly assert that Iran will ultimately yield. His military and intelligence advisers have reportedly presented him with several options should the ceasefire not be extended, including armed measures or intensified economic actions. However, the final decision on any next steps will rest solely with Trump.

The report suggests that Trump’s approach reflects his determination to maintain personal control over US policy toward Iran, even as multiple strategic alternatives are under consideration.
