A viral Threads poll screaming, “Do you support President Trump’s push for peace in the Middle East?” has set social media ablaze, with Trump’s audacious claim to end centuries of conflict sparking a frenzy of hope and skepticism. The White House boasts Trump’s secured a “historic” Israel-Iran ceasefire and expanded the Abraham Accords to include nations “nobody saw coming.” But here’s the bombshell: critics claim his peace plan masks a secret deal to hand Israel control of Gaza’s oil fields, potentially worth $1 trillion. Is Trump the ultimate peacemaker, or is he playing a dangerous game that could torch the region? Click to unravel the truth shaking Threads to its core!
Trump’s June 2025 Truth Social post, “CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, ITS TIME FOR PEACE!” followed U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, which he called a “win” to halt Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. The White House claims a ceasefire took effect June 21, 2025, brokered after Israel’s attacks, with Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff teasing “big announcements” of new Abraham Accords signatories, per X posts like @scottadamsshow. Supporters like @VP and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hail Trump’s “peace through strength,” citing his first-term Abraham Accords, which normalized ties between Israel, UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan. A 2025 Heritage Foundation report credits Trump’s sanctions for crippling Iran’s economy, paving the way for talks. @WhiteHouse posted, “Trump pulled the Middle East hat trick: destroyed Iran’s nukes, no quagmire, pathway to peace!”
But the ceasefire’s fragility is glaring. CNN reported Israel accused Iran of violations hours after the truce, with Tehran denying claims. The Washington Post notes Trump’s peace vision crumbled as Israel’s Netanyahu, emboldened by Trump’s support, intensified Gaza strikes, killing 400 Palestinians overnight, per Gaza Health Ministry. Critics like @zeteo_news on X warn Trump’s backing of Israel’s Iran strikes risks a “Pandora’s box,” with Iran potentially rushing for nuclear weapons, per Middle East Institute’s Kenneth Pollack. The ACLU and Democracy Forward slammed Trump’s pro-Israel tilt, arguing it sidelines Palestinians, with no mention of statehood in his plan. Threads user @Humanity1st raged, “Peace? It’s a land grab disguised as diplomacy!”
Trump’s allies see a masterstroke. Rep. Greg Steube praised his “bold vision” for Gaza, claiming it ensures Israel’s security while ending Hamas’ grip. A White House press release on February 4, 2025, touted Trump’s plan to stop Gaza’s “humanitarian disaster,” backed by Rep. Beth Van Duyne, who said it puts “Iran and terrorists on notice.” X user @ProudBiotch hyped Witkoff’s hint at new Accords nations, sparking speculation about Saudi Arabia or even Syria. Trump’s first-term moves—recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and Golan Heights annexation—cemented his pro-Israel cred, per PBS. Supporters argue his $1 billion Yemen bombing campaign and Syria sanctions lift show he’s taming Iran’s proxies, per Time.
Skeptics smell a rat. Reuters reported Trump’s initial reluctance for Israel’s Iran strikes shifted after pressure from hawks like Sen. Rick Scott, who cheered the “successful” U.S. strikes. NBC News noted Trump’s frustration with Iran’s nuclear talks, led by Witkoff, pushed him to back Israel’s attack, risking his “peacemaker” image. @JoaquinCastrotx on X called it a “reckless escalation,” citing 2025 court rulings forcing Trump to recall deportees sent to El Salvador’s brutal CECOT prison. The National Iranian American Council’s Jamal Abdi warned Trump’s recycling Biden’s playbook, bombing Houthis and ignoring Gaza’s 43,000 deaths, per UNRWA. Threads memes mock “Trump’s trillion-dollar oil deal,” with @BorderTruth alleging Israel’s eyeing Gaza’s untapped gas reserves, unverified but fueling outrage.
The domestic split is stark. Trump’s MAGA base is fracturing, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and @TheKaterPotater on X decrying foreign wars, while Sen. Mike Lee celebrates Iran’s nuclear setback. Newsweek reported 59 active global conflicts in 2025, and Trump’s “no new wars” pledge is buckling under Middle East realities. Polls show 60% of Americans want a Gaza ceasefire, per Pew, but Israel’s far-right government, per PBS, rejects anything short of Hamas’ destruction. Trump’s sidestepping of Netanyahu, favoring Gulf deals with Saudi Arabia and UAE, has Israel’s analysts like Oded Ailam worried he sees Israel as a “real estate asset,” per The Washington Post.
Misinformation swirls. X posts like @ALkhammas2 claim Mossad is orchestrating Accords expansions, while others spread unverified tales of Trump bribing Iran with $300 billion in unfrozen assets. The Middle East Institute warns no military solution can fully stop Iran’s nuclear program without diplomacy, contradicting Trump’s “obliteration” claims. Threads is a battleground, with GIFs of Trump as a dove clashing against cries of “war profiteer.” Is Trump crafting a historic peace or lighting a fuse for regional chaos? Drop your take on Threads—this saga’s far from over!
