Recent reporting from the Financial Times reveals it was President Trump, not the Iranian government, who was begging for a ceasefire.

FT reports that the Trump administration had been privately pushing for a ceasefire for weeks to alleviate the economic strain caused by Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, and depending on Pakistan for mediation. Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir was communicating with Iranian officials, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Vice President JD Vance, and Trump himself even after the president threatened to wipe out Iranian civilization on Tuesday.

According to the five people familiar with the diplomatic back channel, Trump had been asking for a ceasefire since as early as March 21, when he first threatened to bomb Iran’s power plants.

This contradicts virtually everything the Trump administration has claimed about Iran—that Trump’s constant bombings and threats of extinction caused a wounded, demoralized Iranian regime to limp to the negotiating table, desperate for a deal with the U.S.

“They are begging to make a deal, not me. They’re begging to make a deal,” Trump said less than two weeks ago. “And anybody that saw what was happening over there would understand why they wanna make a deal.... They are begging to work out a deal.”

Peace talks between the U.S. and Iran are expected to take place in Islamabad on Friday, although the speaker of Iran’s parliament has claimed the U.S and Israel have already broken the parameters of the already fragile ceasefire.

It is sad isn't it? The most powerful military in human history became a limp noodle under Trump. With all the naval power the US had, they still couldn't get Iran to open the strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump had to beg like a dog for Iran to agree to a ceasefire.

Now he is talking about the US jointly controlling the strait of Hormuz with Iran. That's a clear admission of failure. Iran is making more money now than before. They are collecting a toll of 2 million yuan from every ship that passes the Hormuz strait. And they are saving the money in crypto.

The Iranians are smart. There is a reason why they have been around for over 4000 years.

Do you know what is bombshell news sir?
Something that has been on Frontpage severally.
That's why it's clear who blinked, who capitulated: IRGC!
They suddenly agreed to both ceasefire and opening of Hormuz when it was almost time Trump said he'd start bombing!

It is a bombshell news because contrary to what the US has been saying that Iran capitulated, Trump was at the background begging the whole time! The US was the one that sent the draft message of the ceasefire statement to Pakistan. They even forgot to remove the names of important whitehouse officials they had tagged.

Are you okay sir? Have you been living under a rock? Iran has always said they'd NEVER accept a ceasefire, that they'd only accept total end to the war with guarantees that they won't be attacked again. Then when faced with imminent mytredom (they think) they suddenly made an about face!

Since your brain is leaking and you lack comprehension. Has there ever been anytime in history that Iran ever shut down the strait of Hormuz or claimed to control it? What kind of war now leaves Iran in a better economic position than before? This war is a disaster for the US. First Trump threatened total annihilation of Iran if it doesn't open the strait and Iran called his bluff and now he is talking about a joint control? How does he plan on enforcing that when he couldn't get Iran to open the strait in the first place?

What does ''being around for 4,000 years'' mean?

Africans have ''been around'' for 200,000 years. And populated the whole Earth for countless millenia.

All the other races only emerged in the last 6 or 7 thousand years.

Mr genius, point is that Trump has talked of joint control right from the beginning of the war. It is NOT "bombshell news"

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has explicitly stated on multiple occasions that Iran has "Never asked for a ceasefire"

100 percent true bro

The problem of most of you guys is that you use emotions to report the war. Without using your brain.

Right from the start of the war trump wanted a deal. He have been saying Iran want a deal. You think trump give a mess about Iran. He wanted someone from Iran that he can work with.

China buying sanctions oil cheaply have to stop. And the threats against Israel have to go.

If this two is contained no one cares about Iran that's why he talk about the war is not about the Iranian people.

They will sell their oil now in dollars and make more money.

It can be very tiring and draining. I no dey bother myself arguing with them most of the times. Sometimes, I allow them wallow in their fantasy, illusion, amd hallucinations.
