On April 1, Trump posted on Truth Social stating, “The president of Iran’s new regime is far less radical than his predecessors, and much wiser, and has just requested a ceasefire from the United States! We will consider a ceasefire when navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is unobstructed. Until then, we will bomb Iran to smithereens, or in their words, send them back to the Stone Age!!!” According to PolyBeats monitoring, the probability of “navigation in the Strait of Hormuz resuming by the end of this month” has recently rebounded to 21% on the prediction market Polymarket.
