Trump Suspends Iran Strikes for 2 Weeks, Tied to Hormuz Reopening
Trump said the pause follows talks with Pakistan and could lead to a broader agreement if Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced a two-week suspension of military strikes on Iran, contingent on Tehran agreeing to the "COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz" following urgent mediation by Pakistani officials.
- Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir requested Trump hold back the "destructive force" scheduled for deployment that evening to allow diplomatic efforts to advance. Their intervention triggered the suspension just 90 minutes before the deadline.
- Trump called Iran's 10-point peace proposal a "workable" basis for negotiation, triggering immediate market relief: Dow futures surged 1,000 points while U.S. crude oil plummeted more than 15% to settle near $95 per barrel from $117.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed Tehran accepted the pause and would allow safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks. The nation's Supreme National Security Council, however, emphasized this does not signify the war's termination.
- Negotiations are scheduled to begin in Islamabad as the two-week pause unfolds, though the truce remains fragile with both sides maintaining military readiness and offering conflicting accounts of the agreement's terms and scope.

European leaders spoke the language of de-escalation, as if the problem is now, at least for the time being, "under control." But this is not a strategic breakthrough. T…
There Must Be More to Stop the Status Quo
In Western Civilization, Christian ethics still, in some ways, dominate society. Murder is wrong. Stealing is wrong. Lying is wrong. Iran is dominated by Shiite Muslims who, at heart, embrace Taqiyya, or religious dissimulation, in ways Sunni Muslims tend to reject. It is why more must be done to Iran. Taqiyya, in practice, means lying to the infidel. The Hadith, or traditions of the prophet, says “war is deceit,” and commanders may use lies to …
