On Wednesday US President Donald Trump said that he has agreed to a two‑week ceasefire with Iran, halting what he described as “bombing and attack” operations after accepting a 10‑point peace proposal from Tehran tied to the full and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The move marked a sudden pause in a six‑week war sparked by joint US‑Israeli airstrikes on February 28, and follows stark warnings from Trump earlier that Iran faced catastrophic consequences if negotiations failed.
