Iran&#8217;s foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, said in a statement that Tehran would stop counter-attacks and provide safe \u200cpassage through the waterway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!&#8221; Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. &#8220;The reason for doing so is that we \u2060have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far \u2060along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran&#8217;s Supreme National Security Council portrayed the deal as a victory over the U.S., claiming Trump had accepted Iran&#8217;s conditions for ending hostilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, &#8220;The truth is that President Trump and our powerful military got Iran to agree to reopening \u2060the Strait of Hormuz, and negotiations will continue.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The war, now in its sixth week, has claimed more than 5,000 lives in nearly \u2060a dozen countries, including more than 1,600 civilians in Iran, \u200caccording to tallies from government sources and human rights groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two White House officials confirmed that Israel has also agreed to the two-week ceasefire and to suspend its bombing campaign on Iran. The agreement includes a cessation of Israel&#8217;s campaign in Lebanon, Sharif said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was not immediately clear how soon the ceasefire would take full effect. Israeli media reported it would begin once Iran reopened the strait \u200cand that Israel&nbsp;expected Iranian attacks to continue in the interim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than an hour after Trump&#8217;s announcement, the Israeli military said it had identified missiles launched from Iran, and explosions from intercepted missiles could be heard in Tel Aviv. Gulf countries including Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also issued near-simultaneous alerts and activated air defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump, who has issued a series of threats in recent weeks only to back away, said progress between the two sides had prompted him to agree to the ceasefire. He said Iran had presented a 10-point proposal that was a &#8220;workable basis&#8221; for negotiations and that he expected an agreement to be &#8220;finalized and consummated&#8221; during the two-week window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets breathed \u200ba sigh of relief, with U.S. stock futures rising in the minutes following Trump&#8217;s message. Oil prices fell sharply, with U.S. crude futures touching their lowest price since March 26. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/world\/'a-whole-civilization-will-die-tonight-'-trump-says-as-iran-defies-looming-deadline1\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, less than two hours before his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or \u200cface devastating attacks on its civilian infrastructure.
