Trump Announces Ceasefire With Iran

President Donald Trump has announced a two week ceasefire in the conflict with Iran. 

“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 stated on Truth Social.

“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE,” Trump continued. “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 Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”

Trump has stated that the Iranians have put forth a “ten point peace plan” which he believes to be a workable start to begin negotiations. He believes that it will take two weeks for the plan to be finalized.

The deadline Trump previously laid out was narrowly avoided, with the two countries coming to an agreement with just two hours to spare.
