    For people who even hates Trump, why even believe what he says?

    Because Trump in some cases has the direct power to make words into action. For example bombing Iran’s power plants - that happens if Trump tells his generals to make it happen (after purging the general staff, of course).

      Iran has more cards because they have been bombing energy infrastructures across the Middle East and restricting the vessels that go through the strait. I would be more rejoicing if Iran agreed to stop the attacks for an actual ceasefire.

        They were attacked and Trump is talking about and actually bombing their infrastructure, making the other side’s infrastructure fair game. Iran has had a No First Strike policy meaning they committed to not fighting anyone unless attacked first and Iran had not invaded another country or started a war in over 200 years.

          While you are correct, that doesn’t really answer why people listen more to Trump than Iran, even though Iran has the advantage on this conflict.

            Who said people are listening more to Trump? They’re certainly not taking him seriously despite his yelling to cameras and posting in caps.

            And Iran DID agree to stop for a ceasefire. Remember they were the ones first attacked and demanded the US stop bombing them in order to discuss peace despite the Trump bragging that peace talks were a ruse to get soldiers in place.
