US President Donald Trump has announced a two-week suspension of planned military strikes on Iran. This decision is tied to Iran’s agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing peace negotiations. Trump mentioned that he made this choice after discussions with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan, who advised restraint amid escalating tensions.
This move by Trump signifies a temporary pause in what was escalating into a significant conflict in the Gulf region. He stated that the US had already achieved its military objectives. Trump emphasized progress towards a long-term peace agreement with Iran and in the Middle East, stating that almost all past points of contention between the two nations had been resolved.
According to Trump, Iran has presented a 10-point proposal that serves as a basis for negotiations. He expressed optimism about finalizing the agreement within the two-week suspension period. Trump views this development as a significant step towards stabilizing the region, expressing satisfaction at the prospect of resolving a long-standing issue.
Trump’s announcement on social media platform Truth Social came shortly before his deadline, where he had warned Iran to agree to a deal or face severe consequences.
