President Donald Trump has revealed that, following conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, he will suspend the bombing and attack plans regarding Iran for at least two weeks.
This double-sided ceasefire comes just hours before President Trump’s deadline, during which, he warned that a “whole civilization will perish tonight” if the Iranian government failed to “strike a deal” to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the president posted on Truth Social on Tuesday.
In a Tuesday post on Truth Social, the president said the United States had received a 10-point proposal from Iran that he described as a ‘workable basis’ for negotiating a long-term peace deal in the Middle East.
“Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated,” Trump wrote.
