Ismail Bakai, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, published a statement in X and in response to Donald Trump's recent words that he considers the ceasefire with Tehran "a waste of time" and wrote: "Washington's contempt for Washington's diplomacy for Trump once again did not believe in President Islam's confession and Trump's recollections. Understanding and considering this a waste of time reveals the hollowness of their diplomatic commitments, he said: "There is no justification for European governments and other apologists in Washington to continue to whitewash America's wrongdoings and keep this country immune from responsibility that cannot be ignored, and no political game can absolve Washington."
Earlier, Donald Trump said at a rally in Mississippi on Tuesday: “We had a little truce that I never really liked and I thought it was kind of a waste of time. "Of course you want to listen to the experts, but we called a small truce to get some ships in because we wanted to do a favor, but for me it was just a waste of time."
