U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 7th (local time) that Iran has agreed to suspend its attacks on Iran for two weeks as a condition of opening the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump posted on social media Truth Social at 6:32 p.m. on the same day, saying, "I agree to stop bombing and attacks on Iran for two weeks on the condition that Iran agrees to the full, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz."
President Trump stressed that this would be a ceasefire that applies to both sides.
As a result, Iran's decision to open the Strait of Hormuz remains until a two-week ceasefire is finalized.
President Trump's declaration of "conditional consent to stop the attack for two weeks" was made an hour and a half before the deadline for negotiations set by him.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shebaz Sharif, who has been mediating talks between the U.S. and Iran, appeared to accept a two-week extension of the deadline, Iran's opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the two sides' proposals for a ceasefire in the same period of time, some five hours before the deadline.
President Trump has threatened to hit Iran's key infrastructure facilities, including power plants and bridges, if there is no agreement with Iran by 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Trump agreed to a ceasefire. As expected, TACO.
He couldn’t endure the situation with interest rates skyrocketing like crazy.
Perhaps this time, many around him made massive long bets.
Anyway, the war must come to an end.
