US President Trump: Iran’s New Regime President asked for a ceasefire

In a post published on Truth Social on Wednesday, United States (US) President Donald Trump said that Iran’s New Regime President, who is "much less radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors," has asked the US 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," he added.
