Donald Trump's dramatic climbdown from his chilling threat to wipe out Iran's civilization has exposed the limits - and the rising risks - of the U.S. president's typically unpredictable negotiating style.
His decision on Tuesday to back down and agree to a two-week ceasefire – which critics mockingly called another example of “TACO,” or “Trump always chickens out” – marked the biggest step so far toward de-escalating a 40-day-old war that has shaken the Middle East and disrupted global energy markets.
But Trump’s claims of victory over Iran overlooked questions about the effectiveness of mixing maximalist demands, erratic rhetoric and increasingly extreme threats. Trump went further than ever before on Tuesday morning when he issued a stark warning to Iran via social media that unless it reached a deal “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
After a day on the brink, Trump abruptly reversed his threats - which experts say could have amounted to war crimes - and announced a Pakistani-mediated truce agreement just two hours before a deadline he had set for Iran to open the blockaded Strait of Hormuz.
He claimed in his post that the U.S. had "already met and exceeded all Military objectives."

It took 3 people to write this? Impressive...normally anymore it takes 6...
These articles are just silly.
Can be summed up like this
“We are the democrat party pretending to be a news source so no matter what happens we will insinuate Trump is wrong.”
They didn’t want Trump to bomb Iran, but they are mocking him for stopping. Doesn’t matter what he does.
Except it is not only democrats …. FR is overflowing with the mindset of Sybil.
To the writers, civilized civilization places women and children in harms way.
The world is safer because of Trump. Thank you Mr. President...
47 years of Iranian aggression against the United States and finally a President does something meaningful to end this nonsense and we have idiots here following our leftist MSM in lockstep and trying to insult President Trump. These morons can rot in hell for all I care.
None of these bed-wetters have found this thread.
Rooters crap
“Legacy Media Continue to Grasp At Straws As Their Relevance And Stature Plummet Further”
This is a more accurate headline.
UK, France, Germany, US islamocommie party are all worthless, conniving, POS psycho-TDS, anti-American entities.
They’re backers of the Iranian IRGC.
Load of crap on steroids!
Do not leave out the Vatican ...
Amen! Total BS.
Who is he trying to con ?
Agreed. More worthless drivel from a leftwing democrat propaganda organization. Worthless. Why do we waste our time?
Yes! The Vatican included!
Leo installed by the shadow creatures……bought and paid for.
Maybe we should start deporting illegal alien criminals to the Vatican.
They’re getting better at it - used to take 6.
