US President Donald Trump declared that Iran's leadership had asked the United States for a ceasefire. However, as a condition for negotiations, Trump set the opening of the Strait of Hormuz for oil transport. Without fulfillment of this demand, he announced that the bombing of Iran would continue. hnonline.sk ↗

Trump also announced that military operations against Iran could end within two to three weeks. According to him, the main goal of the war had been achieved – preventing the regime from developing nuclear weapons. In connection with this development, Trump plans a primary address to the entire nation to inform the country about the situation in the Middle East and future developments. postoj.sk ↗

Trump's stance toward the Iranian conflict appears to be part of his broader geopolitical maneuvering. In parallel, he continues to criticize NATO allies for refusing to participate in the war against Iran. Control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz represents economic leverage in the hands of the US, since a substantial portion of global oil transport passes through this passage. Asian stock exchanges responded to reports of a possible end to the conflict with positive movement, although oil prices remain at an elevated level due to persisting geopolitical uncertainty. seznamzpravy.cz ↗

Both investors and world governments welcome signals of a possible end to the war, which is destabilizing global energy markets. China is attempting to get involved as a mediator in the peace negotiations. At the same time, domestic pressure to end the conflict is growing in the United States, where two-thirds of Americans support an early end to the war, and this opposition is also growing among Republicans. pravda.sk ↗
