Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has said the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened because of US President Donald Trump's "ridiculous displays".

Details: In a comment carried by state media, the waterway was said to be "firmly" controlled by the Corps.

The remarks came minutes after Trump said Iran's president had asked the United States for a ceasefire, which Washington will not consider unless the Strait of Hormuz is reopened first.

Background: Trump claimed that Tehran has requested a ceasefire and said Washington is prepared to consider this if Iran ensures free and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

What a strange time to be alive in America. I am more likely to believe the other person, whomever is speaking opposite our own president. And it’s a self inflicted wound, Trump’s “straight talk” that his supporters were so fond of has never been straight, coherent, or honest. And so here we are. Words matter.

Rage quitting a war is almost unprecedented in history, unless I'm mistaken.

Edit: a military defeat and rage quitting are not equivalent.

Well now I’m just confused.

What is Trump just lying or something?!?
