Washington DC — In a dramatic turn of events, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has issued a statement claiming that, following consultations with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, he has agreed to suspend an imminent military strike against Iran for a two‑week period. The announcement frames the pause as a double‑sided ceasefire tied to Iran’s commitment to the “COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING” of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump asserts that U.S. military objectives have already been met and exceeded, and that a 10‑point proposal from Iran provides a viable basis for negotiating a long‑term peace agreement between the United States and Iran, as well as broader Middle East stability. He states the two‑week window will allow finalization of an agreement that he says has resolved most prior points of contention between the U.S. and Iran.
The declaration comes in the context of Trump’s early post‑presidency, during which he has remained vocal about foreign policy and Middle East diplomacy, often emphasizing unilateral action and personal diplomacy. The claimed involvement of Pakistani leaders adds an unexpected regional dimension to the purported negotiations.
Authorities have not confirmed the authenticity of the statement or the existence of the alleged agreement. The international community is awaiting verification of the claims and details of any diplomatic developments regarding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
