President Donald Trump suspended planned airstrikes against Iran after Pakistan made a last-minute bid to delay the strikes on its neighbor’s key infrastructure, agreeing to a ceasefire that will last two weeks.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.”
