US Iran War Ceasefire | Trump Announces 2-Week Ceasefire With Iran Hours Before Deadline

Hours after threatening that "a whole civilisation will die tonight," US President Donald Trump early Wednesday said that he had agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, stepping back from the threat of strikes on the country's power plants and bridges. Trump announced the ceasefire on Truth Social, saying he had accepted a proposal put forward by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his Field Marshal Asim Munir. The proposal calls for a two-week halt to hostilities and the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about one-fifth of global oil shipments. Trump said the United States would use the two-week window to work towards a final agreement with Iran. "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 long-term peace with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East," he wrote.
