The US presidential administration had considered the possibility of a national address to mark the achievement of a ceasefire agreement with Iran, but abandoned the idea due to a lack of clarity on the deal and uncertainty over the ceasefire's stability, Reuters reported on Friday, citing American officials.

"There was talk of it, but obviously it didn't come to fruition, and we didn't alert [television] networks or anything like that; it didn't get that far," a US government official said.

According to Reuters, President Donald Trump had pushed for the address but was talked out of the decision. The White House, for its part, officially dismissed as "fake" the reports that the question of a national address had been discussed with the head of the administration.
