Trump Agrees to Two-Week Suspension of Bombing in Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a two-week suspension of planned bombing and military strikes against Iran, hours before his original deadline for military action. The pause is contingent on Iran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz safely and immediately, a crucial route for global oil shipments.

Trump described Iran’s 10-point proposal as a “workable basis” for negotiating a longer-term peace deal. The ceasefire applies to both U.S. military operations and Iranian actions, marking a temporary de-escalation in a conflict that began earlier this year after a series of retaliatory strikes across the Middle East.

The announcement was met with mixed reactions from U.S. politicians, with some welcoming the halt as a chance for diplomacy, while others remained skeptical about long-term peace. Israel, a key regional player, expressed support for the temporary ceasefire, and global financial markets responded positively, with oil prices dropping and stocks rising.

The two-week window is intended to allow further negotiations and monitor Iran’s compliance, as the situation remains fluid and subject to rapid developments.
