U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed that Iran’s president wants a ceasefire in the Mideast war.
“Iran’s New Regime President,” he wrote on Truth Social, apparently referring to Masoud Pezeshkian, although there has been no regime change in Iran, “much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!”
“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!!!”
Trump did not elaborate. He is due to address Americans from the White House tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
Iran had no immediate response to Trump’s post.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in an interview with Al Jazeera aired late Tuesday signalled Tehran’s willingness to keep fighting.
“You cannot speak to the people of Iran in the language of threats and deadlines,” he said. “We do not set any deadline for defending ourselves.”
