A major development has emerged in the ongoing conflict as US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran just before the deadline for potential military escalation. In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump stated that the decision came after discussions with Pakistan’s leadership, who urged restraint and de-escalation. The ceasefire is conditional upon Iran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for safe and unrestricted maritime trade. Trump emphasized that the US has already achieved its primary military objectives and is now close to reaching a long-term peace agreement with Iran. He revealed that Iran has presented a 10-point proposal, which is being considered a practical foundation for negotiations. According to him, both sides have nearly reached consensus on several contentious issues. The two-week pause is intended to finalize and implement a broader peace deal. This move signals a possible turning point in the prolonged conflict, raising hopes for stability in the Middle East region.
