Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran’s leadership had requested a ceasefire amid rising tensions, but noted that the United States would only consider such a move once the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened and safe for global shipping.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that Iran’s president had “just asked” the United States for a ceasefire. He added that Washington’s willingness to engage in talks would depend on restoring secure passage through the waterway, which is important for global energy supply.
The president’s remarks also included strong language suggesting continued military action until that condition is met. His statement reflects the importance the U.S. places on keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, as a large share of the world’s oil shipments moves through it.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities supporting Trump’s claim. The lack of verification highlights the uncertainty surrounding the situation and the tensions in the region.
