US EditionUS Military Has Halted All Offensive Operations Against Iran, US Official Says, but Continues Defensive Actions
- On Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump announced he would suspend military strikes on Iran for two weeks, pausing the operation less than 90 minutes before his 8 p.m. Eastern deadline.
- Trump said the suspension followed conversations with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir, who urged him to delay what he described as 'destructive force.' The pause remains contingent on the 'complete, immediate, and safe opening' of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on behalf of the Supreme National Security Council that Iran would halt defensive strikes if unprovoked attacks cease. He described the agreement as a 'double-sided CEASEFIRE,' with safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz possible via coordination with Iran's Armed Forces.
- The United States received a proposal from Iran that officials called a 'workable basis' for a broader agreement, with almost all major points of contention already resolved. The two-week pause would allow negotiators to finalize a comprehensive deal.
- Following 40 days of war, the Supreme National Security Council declared a 'historic and crushing defeat' of the United States and the Israeli regime, announcing that Washington was forced to accept terms including permanent ceasefire, lifted sanctions, and withdrawal of combat forces.
