Trump Says Iran Requests Ceasefire Talks

President Donald Trump says Iran requests ceasefire discussions as the conflict enters a new diplomatic phase following weeks of military escalation.

He states negotiations depend on security conditions in the Persian Gulf and continued protection of global shipping routes.

Trump describes the development as a potential opening for de-escalation while emphasizing that any agreement requires safeguards for regional stability.

He explains the United States remains prepared to continue operations if those conditions are not met.

The address frames the ceasefire request as a signal that military pressure reshapes the strategic environment.
