U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has agreed to "suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks."
Trump wrote on social media that his decision is "subject to" Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
"The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East," Trump said.
"We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate," he said.
Trump described the two-week suspension as "a double sided ceasefire."
The ceasefire proposal was delivered by Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, aiming to give time for peace talks with Iran.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote on X on Wednesday that Iran and the U.S., along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire.
Israel has accepted the terms of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran, Israel's Ha'aretz newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing an Israeli official.
The official said Israel will comply with the truce despite reservations and concerns regarding a temporary deal being brokered.
