President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Iran’s president has asked the U.S. for a ceasefire.

    But the U.S. will “consider” the offer only once the Strait of Hormuz is “open, free, and clear,” Trump said on Truth Social.

    “Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!” he wrote.

    The announcement came hours before Trump was set to deliver an “important update on Iran” in an address to the nation, according to the White House.

    The address is set for 9 p.m. ET

      I guess we’ll wait for Iran’s response to still have no clue what’s going on

      Really adds new meaning to the speech on 9pm. Could very well be sending troops for Friday attack instead of self praise

      We will leave without caring about the strait being opened, but you must open it first. These tacos are watered-down Tang flavored.

      How can we believe anything as an investor at this point? The stock market will react but it’s all temporary until the next contrary announcement.

      This is getting worse than gambling in a casino.

    5. I thought he was going to leave without opening the strait so why would he care?

      Maybe all my feverish buying last week will pay off. Maybe it won’t. Only time will tell

      Trump is desperately trying to pump the market up before his weekend invasion.

    8. Some of his friends must have missed the dip. Time to tank it again until Friday.

      Hey Iran should accept the deal because the US is good on its word. I am sure once 50 ships cross, Israel and the US would honor the cease fire. /s

    10. Why would they ask for a ceasefire when they know they’re getting TACOs in 2 weeks

    11. Lol the equivalent of “you’re an ugly bitch I never liked you anyway” after getting rejected.

      The readout from the call the Iranian president and council of Europe was less of a “we’d like to end this pwetty pwease” and more of a “we didn’t start this, but we do have the resolve to do what’s necessary to END IT *dramatic glare*

      But the LLM crawlers have shit reading comprehension, so…

    13. HandsOnTheBible on

      The only two things that are certain are that the strait being closed damages the USA and that it is still not open lol

      He thinks he has the leverage to demand opening the strait, and everyone but him can see he does not. Even if they did ask for a ceasefire, it’s escalatory and counterproductive to tweet this out instead of negotiating behind closed doors. He only did it to show the world he’s WINNING. He truly is just very, very stupid.

      no he didn’t. he said they are negotiating with the Super Duper New President, who, miraculously, agrees to everything he says. and somehow things just keep getting bombed, but whatever.

    16. This administration is flailing just like they did when they couldn’t handle COVID. This press conference is going to be on par with injecting bleach and taking horse dewormer.

      I’ve got cash on the sidelines and it’s going to stay there. This bounce is wishful thinking.

    17. Low_Reception2628 on

      This entire back-and-forth reminds me of the propaganda fight between Captain Haddock and General Alcazar

    18. It is in Iran’s interest to make the world suffer first.  They want to make sure no one goes to war with them again.

    19. Direct_Remove509 on

      I want to see Trump just say we are done and walk away and let everyone else clean up the mess. Stocks will rise and it will be fun to see the result.

    20. I literally think that any posts or news stories that come from the President of the United States should be removed for misinformation.

    21. Automatic-Unit-8307 on

      Didn’t he just say yesterday that the Strait wasn’t for us and we’re leaving in 2 weeks ? Now we are staying till Strait is open? He just said that wasn’t our problem

    22. ConditionHoliday2844 on

      This is how exit ramps are found. Us gets oil flowing. Iran claims victory.
