As reported by Al Jazeera, he was quoted as saying this by the state TV on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
The American president has claimed that "Iran’s New Regime President, apparently referring to Masoud Pezeshkian, has asked for a ceasefire.
"Much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, he has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!"
"We will consider when the Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!"
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently signalled Tehran's willingness to keep fighting.
"You cannot speak to the people of Iran in the language of threats and deadlines."
Speaking further during an interview with Al Jazeera, he said:
"We do not set any deadline for defending ourselves."
Iran has denied being in any direct negotiations with Trump and was never "desperate" for a deal.
Reactions as Iran denies Trump's ceasefire claim

If this keeps happening, then the media has a responsibility to change how it reports such claims. Instead of simply broadcasting what the U.S. says, they should first seek a response from Iran and report both together. Otherwise, they end up amplifying a claim that the other side immediately calls false and baseless.

Iran says Trump's ceasefire claim is false. This situation is very confusing. Both sides need to talk and stop the fighting for the sake of everyone.

Trump is trying to keep the market from collapsing while Iran knows that the market is the only thing keeping the US afloat… market manipulation. The only people who suffer are the people.
@TunakanDuran
I say to the Iranian spokesmen: You are also very strange. First, you directly deny it, but after a while, you somehow confirm the developments. I think you are trying a different communication tactic.
Trump sets conditions as Iran asks for ceasefire
Recall that President Trump, on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, shared a forceful message regarding Iran, which showed both threats and conditions for dialogue.
Trump added that the United States would consider Iran’s request only once the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route, is “open, free, and clear.” He warned that until then, military operations against Iran would continue.
In his post, Trump used forceful language, saying the US is “blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng also reported that President Trump directed countries facing fuel shortages to secure supplies independently or purchase from the United States.
He singled out the United Kingdom for refusing to support the United States actions against Iran in the crisis.
The American president's comments come amid disruptions in global oil supply caused by tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.
