Trump Announces Two-Week Ceasefire with Iran
• Naijanews • Politics
On a recent post on his Truth Social platform, United States President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, a move aimed at creating room for negotiations to end ongoing hostilities. This development followed discussions with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir. Trump explained that the ceasefire would allow both sides to finalize discussions toward a long-term agreement. The United States has reportedly achieved its military objectives and is making progress toward a broader peace framework in the Middle East. The agreement, which was announced roughly two hours after Trump’s earlier deadline, includes a 10-point proposal from Iran, which Washington believes could form the foundation for a lasting settlement. The Iranian authorities described the development as a significant diplomatic victory, claiming it forced the United States to accept their proposed framework for negotiations. The ceasefire also includes provisions for the regulation of passage through the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of primary and secondary sanctions imposed on Iran.
