President Trump Announces Two-Week Ceasefire with Iran Amid Strait of Hormuz Tensions
President Trump has announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, following intense negotiations mediated by Pakistan. The agreement comes after Trump threatened Iran with severe military action unless it reopened the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments. The ceasefire is seen as a temporary measure to de-escalate the nearly six-week conflict, which has involved significant military operations by the U.S. and its allies. The ceasefire agreement includes Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ceasing uranium enrichment. The announcement was made shortly before a deadline set by Trump, who had warned of dire consequences if Iran did not comply. The ceasefire has been welcomed by various international leaders, including China, which played a role in facilitating the negotiations.
