He describes Iran\u2019s new president as more radical and more capable than his predecessors, and says the United States would consider a ceasefire only after the Strait of Hormuz is open, free, and unobstructed. Until then, he claims the U.S. will continue aggressive actions against Iran, even implying the country would be driven back to a \u201cStone Age\u201d state.<br \/>\n&#8211; Axios notes that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian suggested Iran could be willing to halt fighting if the U.S. stops attacking and promises not to strike again. The piece also mentions heavy U.S. bombardment since the war began on February 11.<br \/>\n&#8211; The report includes a statement from U.S. Central Command about extensive airstrikes, and notes that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war has weakened Iran. Netanyahu claimed Israel and the United States are fighting side by side against Iran, and that Iran\u2019s proxies in Lebanon have been weakened. He also asserted that Israel\u2019s position has strengthened and that the U.S. and Israel previously fought Iran alone but are now cooperating more closely.<br \/>\n&#8211; Trump later suggested the fighting might wind down, saying the U.S. would not stay much longer and that they are currently destroying Iran. He added that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen automatically once the fighting ends and speculated that those controlling oil would be glad to reopen the strait because of their interests.  <\/p>\n<p>Note: The original text also contains several technical scripts and a submission form that are unrelated to the narrative above.
