Donald Trump has agreed to suspend planned military action against Iran for two weeks.
The decision, described as a potential “double-sided ceasefire,” is conditional on Iran agreeing to the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump announced the temporary halt just hours before a previously set deadline for military escalation.
According to reports, the pause follows mediation efforts led by Pakistan and is intended to create space for negotiations between both sides.
The U.S. president also indicated that a proposal from Iran could serve as a basis for further talks.

While the announcement signals a possible de-escalation, the situation remains highly uncertain.
The ceasefire is dependent on Iran’s compliance, and any failure to meet the conditions could see tensions rise again quickly.
The two-week window is expected to be crucial in determining whether diplomacy can prevail over further conflict.
Global attention is now focused on whether both sides will move toward a longer-term agreement — or return to escalation.
