Donald Trump termed the decision a “double‑sided ceasefire” after Prime Minister Shehbaz publicly requested a two‑week deadline extension.

Donald Trump stated that the United States will halt bombardment of Iran for a period of two weeks if Iran aGrees to fully reopen the strategic waterway known as the Strait of Hormuz. The declaration came after a series of escalating threats that mentioned the possible destruction of an entire civilization should Iran fail to comply with earlier demands.

“Subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran aGreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, Donald Trump aGrees to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” Donald Trump posted on Truth Social shortly before the previously announced deadline for initiating large‑scale strikes.

Donald Trump characterized the move as a “double‑sided ceasefire” after Prime Minister Shehbaz publicly called on Donald Trump to extend the deadline by two weeks while also urging Iran to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which has remained blocked due to ongoing hostilities.

Why Did Donald Trump Pull Back?

Donald Trump explained that one of the primary reasons for halting the attacks is that the United States has already met and surpassed all military objectives set for the campaign. Donald Trump added that the United States is “very far along with a definitive aGreement concerning long‑term peace with Iran, and peace in the Middle East.”

Donald Trump further disclosed that the United States received a ten‑point proposal from Iran, describing the document as a “workable basis” for future negotiations. Donald Trump noted that “almost all of the various points of past contention have been aGreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two‑week period will allow the aGreement to be finalized and consummated.”

The suspension is contingent upon Iran’s commitment to pause its blockade of oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that typically handles roughly one‑fifth of global oil transport.

What Does Iran’s Ten‑Point Plan Contain?

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced that it submitted a ten‑point proposal to the United States via Pakistan. The plan calls for controlled transit through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Iranian armed forces, an end to hostilities against Iran and its allied groups, and the withdrawal of United States combat forces from all regional bases.

Additional elements of the proposal demand full compensation for damages inflicted on Iran, the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions, and the release of all Iranian assets currently blocked. The Supreme National Security Council emphasized that approval of the resolution would convert these aGreements into binding international law, representing a major diplomatic victory for the Iranian nation.

What Is Expected to Happen Next?

Iran indicated that negotiations between the United States and Iran would be held in Islamabad, Pakistan, with the possibility of extending the talks if both parties consent. The Supreme National Security Council stated that “at the highest level it was decided that Iran will conduct negotiations with the American side in Islamabad for two weeks, strictly based on these principles.”

Iran clarified that the commencement of talks does not signify an immediate end to the war. Iran affirmed that “Iran will only accept the end of the war once the details are finalized in the negotiations, given the acceptance of the principles set forth in the ten‑article plan.”

According to multiple reports, Israel has also signaled assent to the two‑week ceasefire announced by Donald Trump. Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran’s military would cease attacks across the Gulf if the United States and Israel halt their attacks against Iran.
