Trump Announces Two-Week Ceasefire with Iran
US President Donald Trump has announced a two-week ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Iran. The announcement came after Tehran submitted a 10-point proposal and following talks involving Pakistani leaders.
In a post on social media, Trump stated that the United States will suspend bombing and attacks on Iran for two weeks. He said the temporary ceasefire is conditional on Iran immediately and safely reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments that has been disrupted by the war.
Trump explained that the pause will allow time to finalise a long-term peace agreement in the Middle East. He noted that the US has already achieved its main military objectives in the conflict. The ceasefire is described as mutual, with both sides expected to halt hostilities during this period.
The development comes just hours before Trump’s earlier deadline, after which he had threatened severe action against Iran. The announcement has eased immediate fears of further escalation, though many observers are watching closely to see whether Iran fully complies with the conditions and whether lasting peace talks can begin in the coming days.
