Donald Trump warned Iran about the Strait issue
United States President Donald Trump announced on April 1 that Iran had temporarily requested a ceasefire. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
In a statement on social media, Trump said Washington would only consider an agreement after Tehran opened the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that until the strait is opened, the United States might continue its military strikes aimed at returning Iran to the Stone Age.
This was reported by Dw.com. The Iranian government quickly denied these claims.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baqaei called Trump's statement false and baseless. He described it as a tactic to justify American military actions.
Baqaei emphasized that Iran would continue its retaliatory strikes. At the same time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that the Strait of Hormuz remains fully under their control and will not be opened to enemy states.
Tensions in the region continue to escalate. According to the Wall Street Journal, the United Arab Emirates is preparing to assist the United States and its allies in forcibly reopening the blocked strait.
If this happens, the UAE could become the first country among the Gulf states to engage in direct combat with Iran. The airstrikes carried out by the US and Israel on February 28 further intensified the conflict.
According to reports, these strikes resulted in the deaths of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking officials. In response, Iran targeted US military bases, oil facilities, and tankers in the Gulf region using missiles and drones.
