Us President Donald Trump has agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran proposed by Pakistan, just a hour before his deadline for Tehran to reach a deal with Washington was to end.
The negotiations between the two countries are likely to be held in Islamabad on Friday.
"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, subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz," the US President said in a social media post.
"I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks," he said, adding that this will be a double-sided ceasefire.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council claimed "historic victory" after Trump suspended the "bombing and attack" campaign on Iran and agreed to a two-week double-sided ceasefire.
According to Press TV, the Supreme National Security Council claimed that nearly all of Iran's objectives of the war have been achieved. "Iran achieved a historic victory by forcing the criminal US to accept its 10-point plan. The US has accepted Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, enrichment rights, and removal of all sanctions. The US has accepted to stop aggression, pay compensation for damages, withdraw it's forced from the region," Supreme National Security Council stated as reported by Iranian state media.
