Iran has agreed to international pressure and reopened the Strait of Hormuz before the deadline set by President Donald Trump.
President Trump also announced a two-week ceasefire. He explained that after discussions with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir who urged restraint the United States would pause its planned military action against Iran.
This pause is conditional on Iran ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains fully, immediately, and safely open. Trump described the ceasefire as mutual, noting that U.S. military goals have already been achieved and that negotiations with Iran are progressing well.
According to him, Iran has submitted a 10-point proposal that could serve as the foundation for a long-term peace agreement. Most key disagreements between both countries have reportedly been resolved, and the two week window is intended to finalize the deal.
Trump added that he is optimistic about reaching a lasting peace with Iran and broader stability in the Middle East, calling it an important step toward resolving a long-standing conflict.
