Trump Warns Iran Ceasefire is ‘Fragile,’ Cites 1% Chance of Survival
President Donald Trump has warned that the current ceasefire with Iran is extremely weak, estimating that there is only a 1% chance the agreement will hold.
Speaking on the volatility of the situation on May 12, 2026, the President described the agreement as being in “intensive care,” suggesting it is barely clinging to existence. Despite this grim assessment, Trump indicated that a diplomatic solution may still be possible, though the path forward remains uncertain.
The instability of the peace effort comes as Iran has rejected the latest U.S. Plan. The persistent deadlock between Washington and Tehran underscores the growing regional tensions and the precarious nature of current diplomatic efforts.
In a move reflecting the domestic impact of the ongoing conflict, the President also announced that he would suspend taxes on gasoline.
While the administration continues to navigate the crisis, some critics suggest that the full scope of the war against Iran has not been fully disclosed to the public by Washington officials.
