US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran’s new president has demanded a ceasefire. He made this claim while posting on the social network Truth Social.

The new president of Iran is less radical and more sensible than the previous president. He recently called on America to end the war,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He further wrote, ‘We will consider this only when the Strait of Hormuz is opened. And, completely free and safe. Until that happens, we will either completely destroy Iran or send them back to the ‘Stone Age.’

Who appealed to Trump for a ceasefire?

Trump has claimed that Iran’s new president has requested a ceasefire. It is not clear who he is referring to as the new president.

Several senior Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have been killed since the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran on February 28.

Ali Khamenei’s son Mojtaba Khamenei succeeded him on March 8.

Since then he has issued several written statements but has not appeared in public. Trump himself has said that he does not know whether Mojtaba Khamenei is alive or not.

Masoud Pezheshkian, elected in 2024, is the president of Iran. As Trump said, there is no new president.

According to Iranian media, he made a public appearance only on Tuesday. Where he said he had the ‘necessary willpower’ to end the war with Iran.

Iran has consistently denied Trump’s claims that it is engaged in talks to end the war. Iran says only a few messages are exchanged with the US through intermediaries.
