US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran and called it a significant step toward world peace. He mentioned that Tehran is ready to work on rebuilding after weeks of high tensions.
In his announcement, Trump said the US would pause its planned military actions for two weeks, but this depends on Iran agreeing to reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The US will help manage ships passing through the strait and ensure stability in the region during this period.
Trump also shared that talks have made progress, with Iran presenting a 10-point plan as a basis for a possible long-term peace deal. He believes most major issues have been resolved.
Iran has said it will stop its defensive operations if attacks against it cease. Reports indicate that Israel has agreed to the temporary pause as well.
This development comes after tensions escalated sharply earlier, causing global worries about oil supply disruptions and regional stability.
