Iran has directly contacted the United States requesting an end to bombing campaigns, according to President Donald Trump. The revelation adds another chapter to a conflict that has whipsawed global markets and triggered massive liquidations across crypto trading platforms.
Trump indicated that Iranian officials reached out not only to ask the US to halt attacks but also to request American intervention with Israel.
A fragile ceasefire keeps breaking
Back in April 2026, a temporary suspension of US bombing attacks on Iran was agreed upon, conditional on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan stepped in as a mediator, at one point securing an indefinite extension of the ceasefire.
By June 10, 2026, renewed Iranian missile activity prompted Trump to urge both sides to cease hostilities. Trump’s June 8 comments to Axios painted a picture of an Iran seeking to avoid further attacks.
