Megyn Kelly: Trump Iran ceasefire deal ‘sounds very much like surrender’

Conservative media personality Megyn Kelly said the recent U.S.-Iran ceasefire “sounds very much like surrender,” but added that she supported it.

“You got to say, the deal sounds very much like surrender on our part, which I’m in favor of. I mean, great. This needed to end, ugly, or any other way, it needed to end. It was folly to begin with. It was folly throughout. It remains folly,” Kelly told Piers Morgan on his show “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” in an interview that came out Wednesday, highlighted by Mediaite.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration and Iranian officials agreed to a two-week ceasefire mediated by Pakistani officials. Trump unveiled the agreement shortly before an 8 p.m. EDT deadline he put in place for the Iranian military to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump warned later Wednesday that he would order more substantial strikes against Iran if the Middle Eastern country did not come to and comply with an agreement to end the conflict.

“All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with,” the president posted to Truth Social.

Kelly on Tuesday had criticized Trump’s social media posts about the U.S.-Israeli conflict against Iran, including the president’s statement about killing a “whole civilization.”

“I don’t know about you, but I am sick of this s‑‑‑! I’m just — I’m sick of it. Can’t he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the president — ‘3D chess’ — just shut up,” Kelly said on her podcast.

“F‑‑‑ing shut up about that s‑‑‑! You don’t threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We’re talking about civilians, just casually in a social media post,” she added.
