U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Americans opposing the war with Iran, labeling them as 'foolish' during a press briefing at the White House. He reiterated that the primary objective of the military campaign is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump expressed a strong interest in seizing Iran's oil resources, suggesting that doing so would be profitable for the U.S. He stated, 'If I had my choice? What would I like to do? Take the oil, because it’s there for the taking.' Despite ongoing diplomatic discussions regarding a proposed 45-day ceasefire, Trump dismissed it as 'not good enough' and threatened to strike Iranian civilian infrastructure if a deal is not reached. Iran has rejected the ceasefire proposal, demanding a complete end to hostilities.
