Trump claims a ‘Golden Age of the Middle East’ is on the way after Iran ceasefire
The pause is tied to talks in Pakistan and a conditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with oil prices falling 13%, officials said.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, postponing planned airstrikes and promising a new "Golden Age of the Middle East" while stating the United States will manage traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
- The suspension follows five weeks of conflict, during which President Trump issued an ultimatum on Easter Sunday and threatened to "unleash hell" by eradicating Iranian power plants and bridges if the regime failed to meet his Tuesday deadline.
- Hostilities against Iran have cost $31 billion, with daily expenses reaching $500 million. Brent crude oil prices dropped 13% to $95 per barrel following the ceasefire announcement, though prices remain above pre-war levels.
- Despite the agreement, Iran fired missiles at Israel shortly after the Tuesday night announcement. Pro-government Iranians took to the streets to express renewed support for their country's leadership.
- Trump stated the United States will be "hangin' around" the Strait of Hormuz to ensure smooth transit, adding there is "big money" to be made.
