In a shocking turn of events, UN Chief, Antonio Guterres, has come out in praise of US President Donald Trump for brokering a cease-fire between Iran and Israel just days after condemning US strikes in the region. Talk about a diplomatic rollercoaster ride!
In a press conference held at the UN headquarters, Guterres expressed his gratitude towards Trump for his efforts in bringing peace to the volatile region. “I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by President Trump’s ability to de-escalate tensions between Iran and Israel. It just goes to show that sometimes even a broken clock is right twice a day,” Guterres said with a smirk.
When asked about his sudden change of heart towards Trump, Guterres replied, “Well, you know what they say, ‘politics makes strange bedfellows.’ And in this case, Trump and I are just two peas in a pod, working together for the greater good.”
The news of the cease-fire has been met with mixed reactions from world leaders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump for his “unwavering commitment to peace,” while Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the cease-fire a “temporary truce until the next Twitter rant from Trump.”
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo chimed in with a witty remark, saying, “I guess even the UN Chief can’t resist the charm of the ‘Art of the Deal.’ It’s like watching a reality TV show unfold in real-time.”
As for Trump himself, he took to Twitter to gloat about his latest diplomatic triumph. “Just saved the world from another war. NBD. #peacekeeperinchief #nobelprize2020,” he tweeted.
Only time will tell if the Iran-Israel cease-fire will hold, but one thing is for sure – the world is never short on surprises when it comes to international diplomacy. And with Trump at the helm, you can always expect the unexpected. Cheers to peace, or whatever this is!
