President Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday that Iranian leadership had “just asked” the United States for a ceasefire in the ongoing U.S. war against Iran, celebrating the news in a statement shared on social media, while also issuing Tehran a grave threat.
“Iran’s New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!”
The U.S. war against Iran has
rattled global stability and sent
tremors through the world market, sending oil prices soaring and reportedly
sparking panic within the Trump administration. Trump has purportedly been
looking for a way out of the conflict he initiated as his administration’s stated war objectives grow increasingly
out of reach.
