Proposed two-week pause follows talks involving Pakistan and signals potential shift in Middle East tensions.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump announced a planned two-week suspension of U.S. military strikes against Iran, contingent on Tehran agreeing to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, marking a significant development in ongoing tensions involving U.S. forces and Middle East security.

The announcement, shared Wednesday via Trump’s official social media account, followed discussions with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir. Trump stated the pause in military action would depend on Iran agreeing to the “complete, immediate, and safe opening” of the critical global shipping route.
