Iran Has Asked US For Ceasefire: Trump claims, warns no deal until Strait of Hormuz is ‘open, free’
US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has approached the United States seeking a ceasefire. According to Trump, any consideration of such a request would depend on conditions related to maritime security.
He stated that talks would only move forward if the Strait of Hormuz is “open, free and clear,” underlining the strategic importance of the route.
Alongside the possibility of negotiations, Trump signalled that US military operations would continue until its conditions are met. He did not identify any specific Iranian official involved in the alleged outreach, but referred to a “new regime president” without further clarification.
The current conflict traces back to February 28, when the United States and Israel carried out coordinated airstrikes targeting Iranian military installations, nuclear facilities, and senior leadership.
The strikes marked a significant escalation and triggered a series of retaliatory measures from Tehran.

The intensifying confrontation has raised alarms globally, particularly due to its potential impact on regional security and energy supplies. With the Strait of Hormuz remaining a key flashpoint, markets and governments continue to monitor developments closely.
