Trump Reveals: New Iranian Leader Requests Ceasefire; US Responds with "Stone Age" Warning Over Hormuz

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, that Iran’s new leadership has officially requested a ceasefire to end the month-long conflict. Trump described the new Iranian president as "less radical and much smarter than his predecessors," yet he remains firm on his military objectives.

Trump stated that the U.S. will only consider a ceasefire once the Strait of Hormuz is "open, free, and safe." Until then, he vowed to continue striking Iran with "destructive power," threatening to send the nation back to the "Stone Age" if his demands are not met immediately. This ultimatum highlights Washington's resolve to prioritize global energy security over diplomatic pauses.
