WASHINGTON D.C April 1, 2026 – The official White House X account has posted a statement from President Donald J. Trump asserting that Iran’s leadership has asked the United States for a ceasefire in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
In the post dated 1 April 2026, President Trump wrote:
“Iran’s New Regime President, 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!!!”
The statement was accompanied by an image of the President and quickly shared by the White House account, which has garnered over 1 million views within hours.
This comes amid escalating tensions in the region, where U.S. and Israeli forces have been engaged in strikes against Iranian targets following earlier attacks. The Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments — has been a focal point, with reports of disruptions to shipping lanes contributing to rising energy prices worldwide.
Iranian officials have swiftly rejected the claim. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei described Trump’s assertion as “false and baseless,” according to multiple international reports. Tehran has maintained there have been no direct requests for a ceasefire and stressed the need for guarantees against future aggression.
The White House post does not specify details of any alleged communication or identify the exact Iranian official referred to as the “New Regime President.” President Masoud Pezeshkian remains in office since his election in 2024.
Analysts note the statement coincides with April 1, prompting some online observers to question its timing, though major news outlets including CNBC, USA Today, and EFE have reported on the claim and Iran’s denial as factual developments in the conflict.
The U.S. administration has previously issued deadlines related to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and threatened further strikes on Iranian infrastructure if conditions are not met. Trump has indicated in recent remarks that the conflict could conclude within “two to three weeks” once certain objectives, including nuclear non-proliferation assurances, are achieved.
As the situation develops, global markets continue to monitor developments closely due to the potential impact on oil supplies and broader geopolitical stability.
