US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he would suspend military strikes on Iran for two weeks, contingent on the complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz by Tehran. This decision follows a dramatic escalation of tensions, where Trump threatened severe military action unless a deal was reached. He described the agreement as a 'double-sided ceasefire' after receiving a public request from Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz to extend the deadline for negotiations. Trump noted that the US has met its military objectives and is progressing towards a long-term peace agreement with Iran, which includes a 10-point proposal from Tehran viewed as a 'workable basis' for future discussions.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council submitted its proposal through Pakistan, calling for controlled transit through the Strait of Hormuz, cessation of hostilities, withdrawal of US forces from regional bases, and lifting of sanctions. The Iranian government emphasized that the approval of these terms would establish binding international law, marking a significant diplomatic victory. Talks are set to occur in Islamabad on April 10, with both sides indicating a willingness to extend negotiations if necessary. Iran's foreign minister stated that military actions would cease if US and Israeli attacks also stop.
