US President Donald Trump announced that the US will suspend bombings against Iran for two weeks
The goal is to allow time for negotiations to advance toward a lasting peace agreement in the Middle East.
According to Trump, the ceasefire is bilateral and depends on Iran immediately and safely reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a very important maritime route for oil transport.
The decision came after talks with Pakistani leaders, who asked to postpone the planned attack.
Trump reported that the United States and Iran have already reached an agreement on almost all the main points of a long-term peace treaty.
Iran presented a 10-point proposal, which the Americans consider a good basis for negotiations.
The two-week truce will serve to finalize and sign this agreement.
This is the fourth time Trump has postponed a threat to attack Iranian energy facilities and civilian infrastructure.
The ceasefire also includes Israel: according to White House sources, the Israeli government will be part of the agreement and will suspend its attacks against Iran during this negotiation period.
Trump stressed that the military objectives have already been achieved and that now is the time to seek peace.
He said he was honored to help resolve a long-standing problem in the Middle East.
