Trump's statement
In a post on his social media account regarding Iran, Trump had said, "The leader of the new regime in Iran, as a much less radical and much smarter person than the previous ones, has requested a ceasefire from the US. We will consider this when the Strait of Hormuz becomes open, free, and safe. Until then, we will destroy Iran or, as the saying goes, send them back to the Stone Age."
