Trump agrees to Pakistan's two week ceasefire with Iran, Iran accepts proposal

President Donald Trump said Tuesday night that he has agreed to Pakistan's proposed two-week ceasefire with Iran if they agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has now agreed to do so.

"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," Trump posted on Truth Social. 

Iran confirmed later Tuesday that it has agreed to reopen the strait over the next two weeks under coordination from its military.

“For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, per the Associated Press.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council also confirmed it has accepted the two-week ceasefire and that it will negotiate with the United States in Islamabad beginning Friday.

Trump said the "reason" for agreeing to the ceasefire is because the U.S. has successfully accomplished its military objectives and is working toward a real peace agreement with Iran.

"We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate," Trump wrote. "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 long-term problem close to resolution," he added.

The move comes after Trump threatened to wipe out Iran's civilization if the country did not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. Eastern. Trump had also threatened to attack Iran's power plants and bridges.
