President Donald Trump said Tuesday night that he has agreed to Pakistan’s proposed a two-week ceasefire with Iran if the Middle Eastern country reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has not indicated whether it will agree to reopen the strait, but an Iranian official told Reuters earlier Tuesday that it is “positively reviewing” Pakistan’s proposal.
“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.
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 does not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. Eastern.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!” Trump said on Truth Social.Â
Trump has also threatened to attack Iran’s power plants and bridges.
