Ik heb waarschijnlijk een antwoord gevonden op mijn eerdere open vraag.
Het zit hem dus in de beeldvorming naar buiten toe waarom plotseling het Wittehuis en andere getrouwen zich roeren. De president mag niet kwetsbaar lijken en daarmee wordt vakkundig het nieuws weer gemanipuleerd.
Bron: https://newrepublic.com/p...rump-asked-iran-ceasefireRecent reporting from the Financial Times reveals it was President Trump, not the Iranian government, who was begging for a ceasefire.
FT reports that the Trump administration had been privately pushing for a ceasefire for weeks to alleviate the economic strain caused by Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, and depending on Pakistan for mediation. Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir was communicating with Iranian officials, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Vice President JD Vance, and Trump himself even after the president threatened to wipe out Iranian civilization on Tuesday.
According to the five people familiar with the diplomatic back channel, Trump had been asking for a ceasefire since as early as March 21, when he first threatened to bomb Iran’s power plants.
This contradicts virtually everything the Trump administration has claimed about Iran—that Trump’s constant bombings and threats of extinction caused a wounded, demoralized Iranian regime to limp to the negotiating table, desperate for a deal with the U.S.
