Trump Touts ‘Golden Age of the Middle East’ After Iran Ceasefire: ‘Big Money Will Be Made’
The article portrays President Donald Trump as shifting quickly from talk of war to an emphasis on potential money and diplomacy in the Middle East. It claims he would cancel planned attacks on Iran and pause hostilities for two weeks if Iran agrees to open the Strait of Hormuz,a move reportedly encouraged by Pakistani intermediaries. According to the piece, Iran would keep the strait open and Israel would halt attacks on Iran, with Trump boasting of a “big day for World Peace” on Truth Social and in posts that hint at a permanent peace and future regime-change discussions. The piece includes social-media reactions from supporters, including a tweet praising Trump’s “history” and another praising the trajectory from conflict to diplomacy. Though, subsequent reporting cited by the Times of Israel suggests peace had not arrived, noting Iran’s claim of an attack on an oil refinery and its missiles and drones directed at kuwait and the UAE, along with Israel’s strikes on Lebanon, which could undermine the ceasefire narrative. The article also contains embedded scripts and advertisements typical of a news site.
President Donald Trump moved swiftly from making war to making money as he touted the prospects of a post-conflict Middle East.
On Tuesday night, Trump said that at the insistence of Pakistani officials who were serving as go-betweens he would cancel his planned attacks on Iran and agree to a two-week pause on the condition that Iran open the Strait of Hormuz.
As noted by Fox News, Iran later issued a statement saying the strait would be open. Israel also agreed to stop its attacks on Iran.
“A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else!” Trump posted on .

“The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made,” Trump wrote.
“Iran can start the reconstruction process. We’ll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just ‘hangin’ around’ in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will.
“Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!!”
In a later post, he signaled his hopes that the ceasefire with Iran will become a permanent peace.
“The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change!!” Trump wrote.
Trump said Iran’s nuclear leftovers will be confiscated.
“There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear ‘Dust.’ It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!),” he wrote. “Nothing has been touched from the date of attack.”
Trump said progress is being made on contentious issues.
“We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have already been … agreed to,” he wrote.
Like everyone, I hope we can end the reign of terror of the Iranian regime through diplomacy.
We must remember that the Strait of Hormuz was attacked by Iran after the start of the war, destroying freedom of navigation. Going forward, it is imperative Iran is not rewarded for… pic.twitter.com/6DxVIkTd58

Despite the upbeat words, peace had not arrived as of Wednesday morning, according to the Times of Israel.
Iran claimed an oil refinery on Lavan Island was attacked, and in response fired missiles and drones at Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
Israel said that its air force hit multiple sites in Lebanon, which would go against comments from Pakistani officials to Fox News that the two-week ceasefire deal would cover the war between Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah.
