Iran’s state television announced that Donald Trump’s ceasefire was seen as a significant retreat from his military objectives. The US President, 79, reversed his stance on threatening to destroy Iran’s civilization, including critical infrastructure like bridges and power stations. This threat was criticized as illegal by US lawmakers and former military leaders.
After much wavering, the global leader eventually relented and agreed to a two-week ceasefire, contingent upon Iran reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz for shipping. Trump acknowledged Iran’s ten-point plan as feasible.
The Iranian state news agency IRNA swiftly reported Trump’s decision to halt bombings and attacks against Iran for two weeks, calling it a mutual ceasefire. NBC News correspondent Matt Bradley highlighted Iranian state television’s banner proclaiming Trump’s retreat from anti-Iran rhetoric and acceptance of Iran’s terms to end the conflict. Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, on behalf of the Supreme National Security Council, appeared to concur with Trump’s conditions.
Bradley noted that if attacks against Iran ceased, Iran’s Armed Forces would also stop defensive operations for two weeks, allowing safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz through coordination. Iran’s ten-point demands became public following Trump’s agreement to the ceasefire and suspension of military strikes.
Trump affirmed the arrangement on Truth Social, stating he had called off an impending attack. He expressed optimism about Iran’s proposals laying the groundwork for a lasting resolution, describing the ten-point proposal as a viable basis for negotiation.
