The U.S. and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire after over a month of conflict. Despite this, President Donald Trump’s threat to “destroy a whole civilization” drew widespread criticism, including from activist Greta Thunberg.
Trump cited talks with Pakistani leaders and Iran’s conditional 10-point ceasefire proposal as reasons to pause attacks. Iran’s proposal includes halting military actions if the U.S. does, lifting sanctions, allowing nuclear enrichment, controlling the Strait of Hormuz, reopening shipping routes, unfreezing funds, compensating war damage, and establishing a UN-backed enforceable deal.
While the truce is welcomed globally, Trump’s prior threats sparked backlash from figures like Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and now Greta Thunberg. In an Instagram video, Thunberg condemned the normalization of war crimes and genocide, saying: “We have normalized total annihilation of entire people… But it is not too late to say stop.”
This is not the first clash between Thunberg and Trump, and a response from the president remains uncertain.
