The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, has announced a proposed two-week ceasefire in ongoing hostilities involving Iran, following discussions with Pakistani leadership.
In an official statement, President Trump said the decision comes after conversations with Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir, who urged restraint regarding planned military actions.
The proposed pause in hostilities is contingent upon Iran agreeing to the immediate and safe reopening of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
According to the statement, the ceasefire would involve a suspension of bombing and other military operations for a two-week period, creating space for diplomatic negotiations.
President Trump described the move as part of a “double-sided ceasefire” aimed at de-escalating tensions and advancing peace efforts in the Middle East.
He noted that U.S. military objectives in the conflict had already been achieved and expressed confidence that ongoing negotiations could lead to a broader, long-term agreement with Iran.
The U.S. has reportedly received a 10-point proposal from Iranian authorities, which officials consider a viable framework for further discussions.
“Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to,” the statement said, adding that the proposed ceasefire period would allow time for finalizing a comprehensive agreement.
President Trump also indicated that the United States is working in coordination with regional stakeholders to resolve longstanding tensions and promote stability in the Middle East.
The announcement signals a potential shift toward diplomacy after a period of heightened tensions, with global attention now focused on Iran’s response to the proposed terms.
