Trump agrees to suspend attacks on Iran for two weeks

WASHINGTON: United States President (Donald Trump) claims to have agreed to suspend military strikes against Iran for a period of two weeks, subject to the full and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz by the Islamic Republic. Trump announced the matter through a post on social media on Wednesday, following his conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir. According to Trump, the decision was also made at the request of the Pakistani leadership for the United States to postpone the "use of destructive force" that was allegedly planned against Iran that same night. "This will be a bilateral ceasefire," Trump said, noting that the United States had achieved all of its military objectives. In the same statement, Trump also claimed that negotiations towards a long-term peace agreement between Washington and Tehran are now in the final stages. He said Iran had submitted a proposal of 10 points that were considered to have a solid basis for finalization, besides claiming that most of the past issues of dispute between the two countries had been agreed upon. Trump added that the two-week period was needed to finalize the agreement to ensure peace not only between the United States and Iran, but also stability in West Asia. However, so far, no official confirmation has been issued by Iran or US government agencies regarding the allegations. --ASTRO AWANI
