Given the information I've seen throughout the day, my judgment is that Trump really reached out to Iran's new leader through an intermediary to request peace talks. Otherwise, CCTV wouldn't have received reports from Iranian media saying there would be good news on a ceasefire within 8 hours.This aligns with the situation during the day where Tehran wasn't subjected to any attacks, but in the evening, Iranian media posted that they believe Trump's statement made in the US contradicts the information they've received, so they have no intention of accepting.This puts things in an awkward spot, sidelining Trump and Israel. That's why, at this current time, US news media are starting to report that Israel is looking for a suitable exit opportunity, and Trump doesn't want to see oil prices continue to rise.Now, a portion of the US military's aerial refueling planes and fighter jets in the Gulf states have already withdrawn, and Trump has also expressed that it's far from the point where ground troops would enter.In a few more hours, it'll be Trump's press conference on measures to tame oil prices. Most likely, it's also laying the groundwork for a step-by-step retreat ahead of TACO.
