The White House has characterized the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran as a significant victory for Washington, achieved through Operation Epic Fury. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the operation met its military objectives in 38 days, four weeks ahead of the initial estimate of 4-6 weeks. Leavitt emphasized that the success of the military operation has provided leverage for tough negotiations, potentially paving the way for a diplomatic resolution and long-term peace in the region. President Donald Trump had previously announced the ceasefire, contingent upon Iran's agreement to halt its blockade of oil and gas supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for global oil shipments. Trump indicated that Iran had submitted a 10-point proposal as a basis for negotiations, expressing optimism about finalizing an agreement during the ceasefire period. The decision to suspend military action was influenced by discussions with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir.
