‘We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate’
By Joe Kovacs
About 90 minutes before the 8 p.m. deadline, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening he was holding off on the “destructive force” with which he had threatened Iran.
Trump said on Truth Social: “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.
“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! 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.
