President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he agreed to suspend planned attacks on Iranian infrastructure for two weeks.
The move was “subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz,” he wrote on Truth Social.
The announcement came less than two hours before his imposed deadline on Iran to either make a deal that includes opening the Strait of Hormuz or face major attacks on its civilian infrastructure.
Trump wrote on Truth Social he made the decision “based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan.”
