Donald Trump has publicly rejected Iran's latest peace proposals, calling them 'stupid' and 'garbage,' and indicated that he did not even finish reading them. He characterized the current ceasefire, which has been in place since April 7, as being on 'massive life support,' suggesting that it has a mere 1% chance of survival.
