In a post on the social network Truth Social, Trump stated that “the new president of the regime in Iran, much less radical and far more intelligent than his predecessors,” has requested a ceasefire from the United States. However, the US president took a firm stance, emphasizing that a possible cessation of hostilities would only be considered once the crucial sea passage is open, free, and secure.
The claim of an Iranian request for a ceasefire has not yet been confirmed by Tehran, and Iranian authorities did not immediately comment on the statement.
The Strait of Hormuz is crucial to global energy stability, as a large portion of the world's oil shipments pass through it. Energy markets are already under pressure due to conflicts and navigation restrictions, while fuel prices are rising globally.
