Trump: The 10 ceasefire terms are "fake news," and U.S. troops will "continue to be stationed in Iran and its surrounding areas."

Less than 24 hours after a ceasefire was reached between the US and Iran, Trump's tough stance and deep-seated differences between the two sides have filled the prospects of the ceasefire agreement with uncertainty.

According to Xinhua News Agency, Trump posted on social media on the 8th, stating that all US ships, aircraft, and military personnel, along with ammunition and weapons, "will continue to be stationed in Iran and surrounding areas until the reached agreement is fully complied with." He also warned that if the agreement is not upheld, "the war will reignite, at a scale greater, stronger, and fiercer than anyone has ever seen." Trump further claimed in the post that the US military is "fully prepared and waiting, expecting their next conquest."

That same day, Trump criticized reports from The New York Times and CNN regarding Iran’s proposed 10 ceasefire terms as "completely fake news," calling the content "pure fabrication" with the purpose of "slandering those involved in the peace process."

The ceasefire agreement was brokered by Pakistan, ending about six weeks of hostilities and briefly lifting global market sentiment. However, the fundamental demands of the US and Iran are vastly different, and with Israel’s ongoing escalation of military actions in Lebanon, the fragility of the ceasefire has quickly become apparent. The two sides are expected to hold a new round of negotiations in Islamabad on Friday.

Deep Divisions Over Ceasefire Terms

According to Xinhua News Agency, Iran's 10 proposed terms include: the US guaranteeing not to invade Iran, Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz, ending all wars in the region (including the war against Hezbollah in Lebanon), withdrawal of all US combat forces from the region, compensation payments to Iran, acceptance of Iran’s uranium enrichment activities, lifting all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran, and the revocation of related resolutions by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the UN Security Council.

Trump completely denied this. He reiterated the core consensus reached between the US and Iran: Iran must never develop nuclear weapons, the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and secure, ensuring smooth commercial shipping.

White House press secretary Caroline Levitt was even more forceful, directly dismissing Iran’s proposal as "fundamentally unserious and unacceptable," and stated it "has been thrown into the trash bin by Trump and the US negotiating team."

According to CNBC, Iran had previously rejected the 15-point proposal from the US, and stated that safe passage through the Strait must coordinate with its armed forces. There remain clear differences in the positions of the two sides. US media statistics show that after the US and Iran announced the ceasefire, only four ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz on the 8th.

Israeli-Lebanese Offensive Heightens Ceasefire Vulnerability

Israel publicly supported Trump's decision to pause attacks on Iran, but at the same time declared that the ceasefire does not apply to the Lebanese battlefield, and after the ceasefire was reached, launched its fiercest attack on Lebanon since the outbreak of hostilities in February this year, causing at least 182 deaths in a single day.

This military action immediately triggered Iran’s warning—Iran implied that under such circumstances, continuing permanent peace negotiations with the US would be "unreasonable," further highlighting the high instability of the ceasefire agreement.

Lebanese Economy Minister Amer Bisat, in an interview with CNBC, stated that Lebanon has been "forced into war" by external forces, and called for a "ceasefire led by sovereign states" and negotiations to resolve the crisis. He emphasized: "We are paying a devastating price for this war imposed upon us."

The ongoing turmoil in the region has dashed market expectations for a rapid restoration of passage through the Strait of Hormuz and has reignited upward momentum in oil prices. Brent crude’s June contract was quoted at $97.08 per barrel, up 2.46%; WTI’s May contract was quoted at $97.2 per barrel, up 2.96%.
