U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran has expressed willingness to negotiate a ceasefire in the ongoing war but the United States is refusing the offer because the proposed terms are not acceptable. The conflict began after joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, prompting retaliatory attacks across the Middle East and raising global oil prices. Trump stated that U.S. forces have carried out extensive strikes on Iranian military capabilities and confirmed attacks on Kharg Island, a key oil export hub, while emphasizing efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz with support from allied countries. He also questioned whether Iran’s newly appointed supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive following reports of injuries, and criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during discussions about broader geopolitical tensions involving Russia and the Ukraine war.
