Mojtaba Vows Hormuz as 'Leverage' Amid Trump's Ceasefire Claim
•President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday (April 1) that Iran requested a ceasefire, but he rejected any truce until the Strait of Hormuz is reopened for energy shipments.
•Trump posted on Truth Social that Pezeshkian "has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!"
•Trump conditioned a ceasefire on the Strait of Hormuz being "open, free, and clear," threatening to "blast Iran into oblivion" otherwise.
•Iran's Revolutionary Guards declared on Wednesday that the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit point, would remain closed to the country's "enemies."
