'That has not happened': Fox News torches Iran deal as complete Trump failure

President Donald Trump's latest attempt to declare victory over Iran has not gone over well on his favorite channel, Fox News, with hosts admitting in a new segment that the new ceasefire accomplishes none of the administration's goals.

Trump created widespread alarm over the Easter weekend after sharing a post to Truth Social in which he threatened to wipe out the "whole civilization" of Iran with military strikes if the government did not make a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening. He ultimately delayed that ultimatum by two weeks, citing a new ceasefire deal to allow for further negotiations.

Both Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attempted to spin the new ceasefire, brokered with the help of Pakistan, as a victory over Iran. Iran, conversely, also hailed the development as its own victory over the U.S., further heightening skepticism about the Trump administration's claims.

Some of that skepticism is coming from Trump's favorite news conservative network, and his favorite show specifically, Fox & Friends. In a clip shared to X on Wednesday by user Molly Ploofkins, co-host Lawrence Jones broke down all the ways in which the current ceasefire deal has failed to meet the administration's scattershot goals in Iran.

"I will say that the president's demands, we have not reached any of those objectives," Jones said. "I have full confidence that the president is gonna find some way to make this happen, but he said that we want to dismantle all major nuclear facilities. That has not happened. The end of uranium enrichment on their soil, they're still enriching. The transfer of their enriched uranium stockpiles out of Iran, that hasn't happened. The acceptance of intrusive international inspections, they're still not willing to do that, and they have not suspended their ballistic missiles program. They're still firing them off.

Jones continued: "That's just a few of them, on the president's proposals. The question is, is the president using this two weeks to give our soldiers a break, a rest, to see if we can get this ultimately done? We'll see."

Much more dire skepticism of Trump's recent rhetoric has emerged from other corners of the conservative and MAGA political spheres, with former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene calling his threats "evil," and Alex Jones calling for his removal via the 25th Amendment.

"Not a single bomb has dropped on America," Greene wrote in a post to X, after also calling for the 25th Amendment. "We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness."
