Thirty-eight days into the war, a ceasefire was declared. Early on Wednesday, Donald Trump reached terms with Iran, agreeing to halt military actions for two weeks. What began as an American-Israeli campaign aimed at regime change in Tehran saw Ayatollah Ali Khamenei eliminated on the first day of Trump’s Operation Epic Fury.
The ceasefire came a day after Trump issued a weighty admonishment, warning that he would destroy the “whole civilization” of Iran if it did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil and energy artery.
