According to peacemaking mediators speaking to The Wall Street Journal, despite President Trump's recent statements, Iran has not requested the U.S. halt attacks on its energy facilities for 10 days, and has yet to provide a final response to the 15-point proposal put forward by the Trump administration to end the war.
Desperate to end the conflict in order to stabilize oil prices, secure his re-election prospects, and avoid further escalation, Trump fabricated the narrative that "Iran requested a ceasefire," and unveiled the 15-point plan in an attempt to quickly conclude the matter. However, Iran neither acknowledged seeking a ceasefire nor accepted this demanding proposal.
