【Trump agrees to suspend military action against Iran for two weeks】
Trump stated, “Based on consultations with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief of Staff General Asim Munir— who requested that I not carry out the devastating strike originally planned against Iran tonight— and Iran's Islamic Republic's agreement to fully, immediately, and safely reopen the Strait of Hormuz, I have agreed to suspend bombing and military strikes against Iran for a period of two weeks.
This will be a bilateral ceasefire!
The reason for this decision is that we have already achieved and exceeded all military objectives, and reaching a final, long-term peace agreement with Iran, leading to peace in the Middle East, has entered a very advanced stage.
We have received Iran’s 10-point proposal and believe it can serve as a viable foundation for negotiations.
Almost all previous differences between the U.S. and Iran regarding terms have been resolved; the two-week period will be used to finalize and sign the agreement.
As President of the United States, I also represent the nations of the Middle East, and it is a great honor to see this long-standing issue nearing resolution.
Thank you all for your attention to this matter!
President Donald Trump.”
