"Trump stated, '...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.'"
"'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 added."
"Trump's warnings included targeting Iran's power plants and bridges, which Iranian officials described as threats amounting to 'war crimes,' although some international legal experts dispute this claim."
The United States has agreed to a two-week cease-fire brokered by Pakistan, allowing time for negotiations with Iran. President Trump received a 10-point proposal from Tehran, which he considers a workable basis for discussions. The cease-fire is contingent upon Iran ensuring the free passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump stated that military objectives have been met and emphasized the pursuit of long-term peace in the region. Recent US and Israeli air strikes targeted Iranian infrastructure, escalating tensions.
