In a post on Truth Social, he says that it is conditional on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a double-sided ceasefire. He goes on to say that he has received a workable ceasefire proposal from Iran. The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”

‘Iranians ready to sacrifice’: Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said more than 14 million Iranians have committed to sacrificing their lives to defend Iran. The Israeli Defence Forces or IDF on Tuesday issued an urgent advisory to residents and train passengers across Iran, warning them to avoid train travel and railway lines until 21:00 Iran time due to security concerns, as the West Asia war entered its 39th day. “Dear citizens, for the sake of your security, we kindly request that from this moment until 21:00 Iran time, you refrain from using and travelling by train throughout Iran,” the warning said, adding that being on trains or near railway lines could endanger lives.
The advisory comes after the Israeli army said it launched strikes on a petrochemical facility in Iran that allegedly produced nitric acid for the Iranian military. According to the Israeli military, nitric acid is a critical material used in the production of explosives and other components for ballistic missiles.
The ceasefire efforts between the US, Israel, and Iran have hit a deadlock after Iran rejected a 45-day truce proposal on Monday.
