“President Donald Trump posted on his social media website that the US and Iran were 'very far along' with a 'definitive' peace agreement and that he had agreed to a two-week ceasefire to allow negotiations to proceed.”
DISPUTED
The Wikipedia entry for the 2026 Iran war explicitly states that Donald Trump was not president in 2026 (he served 2017–2021), making it impossible for him to have made the claimed statement about a 2026 ceasefire. This directly contradicts the claim.

“Trump’s ceasefire gives Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz—and Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly alive.”
DISPUTED
The Wikipedia entries about the 2026 Strait of Hormuz campaign and crisis describe military actions in 2026, but none mention a Trump-led ceasefire. Since Trump was not president in 2026, the claim about his involvement is factually impossible.
