US President Donald Trump has rejected the idea that he employed the 'Madman Theory' in negotiations for a cease-fire with Iran, emphasizing the strength of the US military and his readiness to deploy it.
Trump declared a two-week ceasefire with Iran, which was facilitated by conversations with Pakistani leaders who requested him to hold off on a planned attack in exchange for Iran's agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz.
In a phone interview with the NY Post, Trump highlighted the capabilities of the US military, stating that he was willing to use it and that the country only utilizes 8% of its military for such operations.
Trump adopted an optimistic stance after the ceasefire declaration, referring to it as a 'big day for global peace' and expressing confidence that it would lead to the reconstruction of Iran and mark the 'Golden Age of the Middle East'.
