US President Donald Trump, who was issuing a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran and threatening to completely destroy it, has now started liking Tehran. Trump is now saying with confidence in front of the whole world that Iran wants peace. At the same time, from global experts to the media all over the world, Trump’s fear is behind his statement. Trump had said on March 23 that he would not attack Iran’s power plant or any energy facility for the next five days, which means it is like declaring a half-truce. On the other hand, neither Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is desisting from attacking nor Iran is showing any signs of stopping.
Iran rained cluster bombs on Israel
On Tuesday (24 March 2026), Tehran fired so many bombs on Tel Aviv that Israel was shaken. Iran fired cluster bombs on Tel Aviv which included 3 to 4 bombs of around 100 kg each. This is the reason why after the attack, heaps of burning gunpowder and debris were visible everywhere in Tel Aviv. Iran is raining gunpowder and America is extending its hand for talks. After 24 days of the war waged against Iran, President Trump has come to a crossroads where he does not understand which way to proceed.
Why did Trump’s path become difficult?
Donald Trump is saying that he is claiming to have good talks with Iran, but Iran is not ready to accept that any kind of talks are going on regarding ceasefire. He seems to be in a mood to just shower gunpowder. Iran is aggressive, but Trump is claiming that he has given it five days’ time. These statements of Trump are confirming how misguided he appears to be.
The crossroads at which Trump is standing with a half-truce has four paths. First ceasefire – the tune of which is being played only by Trump. Second- How to deal with Iran is beyond Trump’s control. Third- Whatever stand or appeal Trump is taking, no one is listening to him, from NATO to Israel. Fourth- Trump has become the contractor of the world, but how to deal with his own country America regarding the war has become the most difficult task for him.
Trump’s stand changed due to warning from Gulf countries
Trump had said three days ago that there would be no talks of any kind. The message was very clear, Trump had refused to talk to Iran, that is, till three days ago, Trump was far away from the idea of ending the war, but in three days, Trump has taken a 360 degree turn. In such a situation, the question is, how did Trump’s attitude suddenly change? The reason behind Trump’s changed stand is the warning from the Gulf countries. From Qatar to Bahrain and from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, America is burning in the war with Iran, but this time the Gulf countries had warned that if Trump attacked civilian power plants, it would be very dangerous and would increase the war. This can make the situation much worse.
Trump on backfoot due to rising oil prices
Iran is not afraid even after this. Iran’s Energy Minister has given a statement that if the power plant is damaged, we will deal with it. Not only this, voices of protest are continuously being raised against Trump regarding the war in America. Different from the image of a businessman and a dealmaker, Trump’s image is becoming that of plunging the world into war. Trump is facing pressure from the whole world due to the continuously rising oil prices.
According to sources, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Oman are mediating between America and Iran. Its purpose is to ensure the safe movement of ships from Hormuz along with the ceasefire. It is being told that America has sent a proposal of 15 points to Iran, but it is not clear whether Iran has accepted it or not. Iran’s attitude is becoming clear from the statements of its senior military officers who are clearly saying that the war will end only on Iran’s terms.
How important it is for the whole world to stop the war with Iran can be understood from the fact that as soon as Trump said not to attack for 5 days, the next day there was a surge in the global market and oil prices came down. It is being claimed in many reports that talks between America and Iran can take place in Pakistan or Turkey, but Iran’s leaders have publicly rejected the talks.
Iran can weaken American military power
Iran is clearly saying that it needs compensation for its losses and a guarantee that there will be no attack of any kind in the future. It is true that Iran has suffered huge losses, it has become economically and politically weak, but it has become more aggressive in war than before. On the other hand, America may have suffered less loss of life and property as compared to Iran, but The Economist said in its report that a war with Iran could weaken American military power for years. The US Navy is exhausted and its ammunition is also running out. Trump is surrounded and the problem is that his best friend Benjamin Netanyahu is not listening to him.
Iran has destroyed Israel’s capital Tel Aviv by firing a cluster bomb. On Tuesday morning, an explosive missile weighing 100 kg fell in the residential areas of Israel. Since morning, attack sirens had started echoing in every corner of Israel. Iran appeared more aggressive on March 24, whereas before the latest attacks, Iran had already bombed Israel’s nuclear bases in Dimona and Arad. How did the gunpowder particles reach inside the houses in Dimona?
Trump-Netanyahu’s plan failed
At this time it seems that all the plans of Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Iran have failed. Before waging war against Iran, Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad had promised Netanyahu that the people of Iran would revolt as soon as the war started, but even after three weeks of the war, the people were seen standing together against the Iranian regime. Now news has come that Benjamin is very angry due to the failure of Mossad’s plan. Despite the bombings by America and Israel, the people of Iran came out on the streets to show support for their army and that the entire Iran is with the army in the war.
This is the reason why the voltage of Benjamin Netanyahu, who has vowed to wipe out Iran from existence since the beginning of his political career, is down, because as always, he is making big claims against Iran but for the first time there is also mention of his mouthpiece extending his hand for talks. This means that the pair of Trump and Netanyahu have understood that their backs are also burning very hot in the war, hence they are leaving aside the gunpowder and turning to the matter.
Will America land troops on Iranian soil?
According to the news given by the news agency Reuters quoting an Israeli official, Trump wants to make an agreement with Iran but the chances of the talks being successful are very less. On March 24, Iran released the video of the 79th missile batch that it fired at several strategic targets in Israel. Iran has wreaked havoc in Benjamin’s country with missiles ranging from Khyber Shekan to Imad and Sejil missiles. After heavy losses, Iran now wants to fulfill its conditions.
At the same time, Trump’s attitude seems soft because he has no options left. In the current situation, the only option available to Trump was to land his troops on Iranian soil to proceed in the war, but it was not easy for America to take this decision. If American soldiers were killed on Iranian soil, they would have faced huge opposition from the entire world including their own country America. Secondly, due to the difficult geography of Iran, it is very difficult to win on the ground.
Through Hormuz, Iran has pressed a sore spot on the entire world. Earlier Trump was talking about capturing Hormuz through force, but after the meeting with his own security advisor, Trump’s illusion that he could snatch Hormuz from Iran through ammunition and troops was also dispelled. Iran has closed Hormuz and this is the reason why the whole world which is facing oil and gas crisis is under pressure to end the war and that is why earlier Trump was threatening but now he is extending the hand of friendship but there is another reason behind this.
Security advisor warns Trump regarding Hormuz Strait
According to the Washington Post, Trump had a meeting with his security advisor regarding the Strait of Hormuz. In this meeting, Trump had asked security advisor Dan Kane, why are you not sending warships to Hormuz? To this, Kane had replied that the solution to Hormuz would not come from a warship because Hormuz is very narrow. If a warship is sent here, this route may be closed for a long time. Kane had told Trump that even a small Iranian boat could cause huge damage to an American warship here and this would only bring disgrace to America.
NATO refused to support the war
Not only this, Trump hoped that America would get the support of NATO and other countries in the war against Iran, but despite Trump’s open appeal to jump into the war, all the countries of the world refused to directly intervene in the war. On March 24, South Korea’s Foreign Minister spoke to Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
South Korea has appealed to Iran for the release of their ships. The UAE said that blocking the Strait of Hormuz is a form of economic terrorism, while the President of the European Union has appealed to Iran and America to come to the negotiation table and clear Hormuz. This means that every country in the world is holding its breath due to this war.
