"Iran wants a ceasefire."
US President Donald Trump made these remarks, as reported by the Operative Information Center-OMM. The American leader indicated that official Tehran has shown an inclination toward peace negotiations under the current regional circumstances.
"We will evaluate this once the Strait of Hormuz is open, free, and secure. Until then, we will continue to strike Iran until it is destroyed or, as they say, 'send them back to the Stone Age'," the US President added. Trump further noted that Iran's new leadership appears less radical and more pragmatic compared to previous administrations, confirming that a request for a ceasefire was recently directed toward the United States.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints, serving as the primary transit route for approximately one-fifth of the world's total oil consumption. Ensuring the stability and security of this passage is a cornerstone of global energy security and international trade. The ongoing tensions in the region have frequently led to fluctuations in global energy markets, making the restoration of maritime safety a priority for the international community and the US administration.
