United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire after more than a month of conflict, raising hopes for stability in the region. Donald Trump said the truce could ensure a “complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz,” a key route for global oil trade. He also revealed that Iran had submitted a 10-point proposal, which he described as a workable basis for negotiations, with the pause intended to finalize a broader agreement.
The proposal reportedly includes halting attacks on both sides, lifting all sanctions, withdrawing U.S. forces from the region, and allowing Iran to maintain its nuclear program. It also addresses control and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, guarantees against future attacks, unfreezing Iranian funds, compensation for war damage, and creating a binding agreement backed by the United Nations. While the ceasefire has been welcomed globally, Trump’s earlier threats — including warning he could “destroy a whole civilization” if no deal was reached — have sparked strong backlash.
Among those criticizing him is Greta Thunberg, who responded in a video on Instagram. She condemned the rhetoric, questioning global silence in the face of such statements and linking it to broader issues of war, environmental destruction, and accountability. Thunberg argued that society has become desensitized to extreme violence and urged people to speak out, saying it is “not too late to say stop.”
This marks another public clash between Trump and Thunberg, who have previously exchanged criticism. While the ceasefire may ease immediate tensions, reactions like Thunberg’s highlight the ongoing global debate over political language, responsibility, and the human cost of conflict.
