Trump announces two-week ceasefire as Iran agrees to reopen Hormuz Strait
The US president nevertheless warned that the suspension was dependent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
United States President Donald Trump has agreed to suspend his planned bombing of Iran for two weeks, following his threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Tehran did not comply with his demands.
On Tuesday evening, within hours of the planned attack, Trump took to his platform Truth Social to announce he had reversed course.

He credited Pakistan for mediating the settlement but warned it came with conditions — namely that Iran re-open 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,” Trump wrote.
The message was posted online at 6:32pm US Eastern time (22:00 GMT), just under one and a half hours before Trump’s 8pm (00:00 GMT) deadline for the attack.
Shortly after Trump’s message, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi confirmed that a tentative agreement had been reached.
“If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations,” Araghchi wrote.
“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.”
Araghchi likewise thanked Pakistan for its last-minute appeal to suspend the US bombing campaign. Further talks are expected to take place in Islamabad over the coming weeks.

The Dragon goes Puff……ha3
ReplyDeleteThis is the REAL reason why Wanker Starmer keeps saying “Not Our War”…..because he has no Navy, Air Force or Army.
The only warship Britain sent to the Middle East, HMS Dragon, is already out of commission. It was forced to return to port because of problems with it's fresh water system.
Great Britain once ruled the oceans of the world. Now they cannot even manage to deploy a single warship.
