Tehran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he has agreed to suspend bombing raids on Iran for two weeks on the condition that the Strait of Hormuz be opened immediately.

He made the announcement on the night of Wednesday, April 8, on the Truth Social network.

"Based on conversations with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, during which they asked me to suspend the attack of the destructive force to be directed at Iran tonight, and provided that the Islamic Republic of Iran agrees to the full, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack on Iran for a period of two weeks," the US president wrote.

He emphasized that the agreement provides for a bilateral ceasefire. Trump said the US has already "met and exceeded all military objectives" and is "well on its way to reaching a final agreement on a long-term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East."

"We have received a 10-point proposal from Iran and believe it is a suitable basis for negotiations. Almost all the key issues of previous disputes between the United States and Iran have already been agreed upon, but a two-week period will allow for finalization and an agreement," the American president said.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif earlier asked Trump to extend the deadline for a deal with Iran by another two weeks.
