US EditionHow Trump Went From Threatening Iran's Annihilation to Agreeing to a 2-Week Ceasefire with Tehran
Intermediaries led by Pakistan pressed for more time as Trump said a workable Iranian plan could open the way to long-term peace.
- President Donald Trump announced a 14-day ceasefire with Iran, pivoting from threats of "annihilation" to claiming he had "met and exceeded all Military objectives" while pursuing a "definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE."
- Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif brokered the pause after urging Trump to extend his deadline, aligning with the president's pattern of using two-week intervals to buy time during major negotiations.
- Defense analysts noted that securing the Strait of Hormuz would have required roughly 30,000 to 45,000 troops, while the new deal mandates ships transiting the waterway coordinate with Iranian forces.
- Tehran reframed the 40 days of destruction as a "national victory," advancing a 10-point proposal demanding the lifting of all sanctions, release of overseas assets, and the right to continue nuclear enrichment.
- Critics argue the ceasefire leaves the United States in a weakened position, as the administration's pivot from threats of "annihilation" undermines America's international standing and long-term security goals.
