A proposed 45-day ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is currently being discussed but remains one of several options under consideration, with no formal approval from President Trump. A White House official emphasized that the President has not signed off on the plan, and that military operations (“Operation Epic Fury”) are ongoing.
Attention now turns to Trump’s scheduled remarks at 1 PM EDT, where markets will be looking for clearer direction on policy and any potential shift toward de-escalation.
- 45-day ceasefire proposal is not approved and remains one of many ideas
- Trump has not signed off, and military operations continue
- Trump scheduled to speak at 1 PM EDT, a potential catalyst for clarity
- Uncertainty remains on whether Iran will be addressed directly beforehand
- Formal press conference at 1 PM EDT could provide more definitive guidance
Bottom line: The situation remains fluid and headline-driven, with no confirmed ceasefire and markets awaiting Trump’s comments for direction.
Iran has rejected ideas of a 45 day ceasefire idea. Israel is also a wildcard. Netanyahu has his own regional objective and judging from his actions vs Hamas, there may be announced ceasefires, but the war goes on. Trump was all in at the start of the war, but has tried to distance himself more from Netanyahu as the 4 weeks proposed end to the war, has passed.
