Trump Hopes for Iran Ceasefire, Cites Military Success

On March 25, President Trump announced that a ceasefire with Iran could be close after

the U.S. sent a 15-point peace plan through mediators earlier this week.

He pointed out that only two top military figures, Secretary of War Pete Hexeth and

Air Force General Dan Cain, seem disappointed by the prospect.

The conflict kicked off on February 28, but Trump shared on social media that recent talks

with Iran had gone well.

He even held off on planned strikes against their power plants to keep diplomacy moving

forward.

Trump made these comments from the Oval Office after swearing in a new Homeland Security

Secretary.

He praised the military's strong performance, but noted Hexeth and Cain preferred pushing

for total victory over settling now.

Hexeth emphasized the armed forces role in backing up negotiations with force, if needed.

Trump expressed strong confidence that deal will happen soon, calling the war already

one.

He highlighted Iran's lack of a navy or air force and rapid U.S. successes, while dismissing

media reports as misleading on the battle's outcome.

With productive messages exchanged in strikes on pause, eyes now turn to whether Iran accepts

the plan and brings this short conflict to a quick, close.
