Trump had claimed that Iran’s president asked Washington for a ceasefire, but said the United States would only consider the request if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran’s “new regime president” had approached the US seeking a truce. “We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear,” he said, warning that military action would continue until that condition is met.
