SAEDNEWS: Trump, in a sudden reversal, claimed senior Iranian officials requested a halt to bombing during a call with the operations room. He said 49 missiles were fired and jets flew over Iran, defended Israel from blame, and warned attacks would continue without a deal.
According to the political news service of Saed News, the President of the United States, in a controversial interview early Thursday morning with Fox News, once again attempted to divert public opinion from on-the-ground realities by using cinematic scenarios. In contradictory remarks, he stated that military aggression against Iran would soon come to an end, but the reason he gave for this cessation sounded more like a Hollywood screenplay than a military report.
Donald Trump, in justifying the sudden halt of strikes and Washington’s withdrawal, resorted to a claim that political observers have called a “major bluff.” He stated: “Senior Iranian officials called me directly in the operations room tonight and asked me to stop the bombing of their country.” He further added that he had informed the Iranians that the bombing would end, while simultaneously claiming that American fighter jets were still flying over Iranian airspace.
One of the most significant and meaningful parts of Trump’s remarks was his rushed attempt to remove the Israeli regime from the scope of potential Iranian retaliation. The U.S. President explicitly stated: “Israelis had no role in these U.S. attacks on Iran.” Analysts believe this statement was not a sign of confidence, but rather the result of Washington’s deep concern over a possible strong Iranian response against Israeli positions.
In another part of the interview, Fox News cited unusual figures from the President regarding the conflict. Trump claimed that U.S. forces had launched 49 Tomahawk cruise missiles, which penetrated deep into Iranian territory and destroyed radar and air defense systems in the southwest of the country.
However, to restore his damaged image and maintain an offensive posture, he immediately resorted to threats, making the cessation of operations conditional on the signing of an agreement: “If the Iranians refuse to sign the proposed deal, we will bomb them again tomorrow night.”
The contradictions of the White House occupant did not end with missile counts and imaginary phone calls. Trump, who had previously claimed that no ceasefire with Iran had been violated, suddenly made a 180-degree turn, stating: “The ceasefire with Iran was the most violated ceasefire in the history of the world!”
It appears that the chain of contradictory claims—from erasing Iran’s military capabilities in recent months to stories about officials pleading in an operations room—reflects the strategic deadlock of an administration attempting to compensate for battlefield setbacks with media narratives.
