Washington, United States – Web Desk: US President Donald Trump has agreed to suspend military strikes on Iran for two weeks, accepting a ceasefire proposal put forward by Pakistan, according to an official statement shared on social media.
The announcement came shortly before the expiration of a previously set deadline, under which Washington had warned Tehran of severe consequences. Trump said the pause in military operations would be part of a “mutual ceasefire,” contingent upon Iran reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz in a safe and immediate manner.
The US president confirmed that he had held discussions with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, adding that he agreed to halt the strikes at the request of the Pakistani leadership. He described the proposal as a “workable basis” for advancing negotiations.
Trump further stated that US forces had already achieved their key military objectives and suggested that progress had been made toward a broader peace agreement in the Middle East. He also revealed that Washington had received a 10-point proposal from Iran, which he said could serve as a viable foundation for further diplomatic engagement.
The development is being closely watched globally, as it may mark a significant step toward de-escalation in a region facing heightened tensions and security concerns.
