AI Summary
5 min readIran has accepted a two-week ceasefire and agreed to negotiate with the United States in Islamabad beginning Friday, according to a statement from the country’s Supreme National Security Council. The announcement came after President Trump said he was pulling back on threats to attack civilian infrastructure, less than two hours before his Tuesday deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. NPR’s Ayoup Petrawi reported that Trump said he agreed to suspend bombing and attacking Iran for two weeks, contingent on Iran agreeing to the “complete, immediate, and safe opening” of the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow waterway through which, before the conflict, 20 percent of the world’s oil flowed. Trump called this a “double-sided ceasefire” and said all military objectives had been met, but cautioned that the two sides remain “very far apart” from any kind of definitive agreement. Following the ceasefire announcement, oil prices fell back below $100 a barrel.
