In a significant shift, US President Donald Trump has announced the cancellation of planned military strikes on Iran, opting instead for a two-week ceasefire proposal initiated by Pakistan. Trump confirmed this decision on his social media platform, stating that the US military would stand down to explore a final agreement with Iran. This ceasefire is contingent on Iran's acceptance of the immediate and complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route. Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has indicated that safe passage through the strait is feasible for the next two weeks, provided that hostilities against Iran cease. The ceasefire received approval from Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, following diplomatic interventions from both Pakistan and China. Historically, Iran has insisted on a complete cessation of hostilities from the US and Israel as a prerequisite for reopening the strait.
