Trump says Iran’s new president has requested a ceasefire, sets Hormuz reopening as condition
US President Donald Trump announced that Iran’s new president has requested a ceasefire, describing the new leadership as “much less radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors,” via a post on Truth Social.
Trump said the US would consider the request only when the Strait of Hormuz is “open, free, and clear,” warning that until then the US is “blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages.”

Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council chaired a meeting of the Executive Committee of the ADNOC Board of Directors at the company’s headquarters, during which he reviewed the group’s business continuity plans and preparedness across a range of potential scenarios in line with international best practices.
The committee reviewed a detailed report on the operational impact at certain ADNOC facilities caused by direct hits and debris resulting from the successful interception of ballistic missiles and drones during Iranian attacks on the UAE, which the company described as a serious violation of international laws and a direct threat to regional stability and global energy security.
Sheikh Khaled also reviewed plans to protect personnel and assets while maintaining safe and efficient operations across all group companies.
Temporary operational adjustments have been implemented for exportable products to address disruptions to maritime navigation arising from recent regional developments, while ADNOC continues to assess the situation on a case-by-case basis to meet customer needs.
Sheikh Khaled commended the readiness and rapid response of national entities and stakeholders, affirming that ADNOC’s operating model – built on resilience and professionalism – continues to deliver reliable energy supplies despite ongoing challenges.
Following the meeting, he connected virtually with frontline teams across company sites, praising their dedication and saying the UAE would emerge stronger from current challenges.

Trump says US military operations in Iran could end within two to three weeks
US President Donald Trump announced that American military operations in Iran could conclude within two to three weeks, telling reporters at the White House on Tuesday that reaching a deal with Tehran is not a prerequisite for ending the war.
Trump said the US has achieved its primary objective of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, while noting that the change in the Iranian government was not among the original planned goals. He described the participation of Iranian officials in ongoing negotiations as a positive step, but stressed that the absence of a deal would not delay the end of military operations.
The new timeframe represents an extension of earlier White House estimates, which had projected the war would last between four and six weeks.
