US Begged For Ceasefire? Iran Speaker Claims Donald Trump Reached Out After Iran's Victory In War

US Begged For Ceasefire? Iran Speaker Claims Donald Trump Reached Out After Iran's Victory In War

Iran’s top leadership makes a bold claim that the United States secretly sought a ceasefire just days into the conflict. Iranian Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf alleges that President Donald Trump reached out after failing to gain the upper hand on the battlefield. Tehran says Washington even accepted Iran’s 10-point plan as the basis for negotiations during marathon 21-hour talks mediated by Pakistan. However, discussions reportedly collapsed after Iran accused the U.S. of making excessive demands. With Iran wa ing it is fully prepared for another round and linking strategic control of the Strait of Hormuz to its national security, the situation raises serious questions: Did the U.S. blink first—or is this a battle of narratives in a high-stakes geopolitical showdown?
