Said
Government of Iran: Foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei called Trump's claim that Iran's president had asked for a ceasefire false and baseless, according to Iranian state television. The IRGC said the Strait of Hormuz remained firmly under its control and would not be opened to Iran's enemies.
Said
Government of Iran: President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote an open letter to the American public saying Iran bore no ill will toward Americans, urging them to question their government's motives, and warning that attacks on Iranian energy and industrial sites would have consequences.
Said
Government of the United States: Trump told the Telegraph he would strongly consider pulling the US out of NATO, amid allied reluctance to join operations in the Strait of Hormuz. UK Prime Minister Starmer said the UK remained fully committed to NATO, and Secretary of State Rubio said the US would reexamine the relationship.
Said
Government of the United States: Trump said on Truth Social that Iran's president had just asked the US for a ceasefire, and that the US would consider one only once the Strait of Hormuz was open.
Said
Government of the United States: In a prime-time address on the evening of 1 April (US Eastern time), President Trump said the operation's core strategic objectives were nearing completion, that the US would hit Iran extremely hard over the next two to three weeks, and that if no deal was reached it could strike Iran's electric plants and possibly its oil industry. He told countries that rely on the Strait of Hormuz to take charge of it and claimed Iran had been close to a nuclear weapon, which CBS noted US intelligence had said last year Iran was not actively pursuing.
