US EditionIran says Trump's statements on Tehran requesting ceasefire are false and baseless
Trump said Iran sought a ceasefire, but any pause would depend on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil route, officials said.
- President Donald Trump will deliver an address to the nation on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, regarding the Iran war, having told reporters he expects American troops to conclude Operation Epic Fury in two to three weeks.
- The conflict, now in its fifth week, began on Feb. 28 with Operation Epic Fury; American forces have struck more than 11,000 targets inside Iran, decimating missile stockpiles and naval vessels.
- In response to U.S. and Israeli strikes, Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, pushing gasoline prices above $4 a gallon and potentially raising transportation costs across the United States.
- Trump claimed on Truth Social that Iran's new leadership sought a ceasefire conditional on the Strait of Hormuz reopening, though Iran's foreign minister rejected U.S. assertions that negotiations are underway.
- Vowing continued support for anti-Israeli forces, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei indicated a potentially prolonged conflict, contrasting with the administration's stated goals for a swift conclusion to military operations.
