Iran's military has insisted the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to Tehran's 'enemies' as Donald Trump warned any truce in the war would depend on it reopening. The statement comes after Trump announced Iran's leadership is requesting a ceasefire - but warned that any truce is contingent on the Strait of Hormuz opening. Trump said Iran has asked for a ceasefire but one would only come when the Strait of Hormuz is 'open, free, and clear,' in a post published on his Truth Social platform. The new ceasefire claims comes hours before Trump is scheduled to give a televised address at 9pm ET (1am UK time) about the ongoing war. Follow the latest updates on the Iran war
