War in Iran: It is Trump, not Tehran, who allegedly requested a ceasefire (FT) - La Nouvelle Tribune

The Trump administration allegedly requested a ceasefire in Iran as early as March 21, 2026, shortly after the conflict began in late February. Pakistani General Asim Munir played a key role as an intermediary between Washington and Tehran. Trump announced a two-week suspension of military operations, contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with formal negotiations scheduled for April 10 in Islamabad.
