BREAKING: US agrees to two-week ceasefire with Iran
Trump announced the agreement on Truth Social Tuesday night
The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, both sides said Tuesday night.
President Donald Trump announced his agreement to the proposal on Truth Social, saying that he will “suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.”
Iran’s National Supreme Council released a statement saying it would begin negotiations in Islamabad on Friday.
However, they also warned “our hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with full force.”
The de-escalating news came after U.S. forces struck Iran’s Kharg Island, a key oil hub in the Persian Gulf.
On Tuesday morning, Trump gave the Iranians a deadline till 8 p.m. Eastern to agree to a ceasefire or “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
