Trump announces a ceasefire and postpones striking Iran for 2 weeks, claiming that they have reached an agreement and can have a final agreement in two weeks. The mediator was Pakistan. There are some conditions, quotes from Trump’s page.
1. “I agree to cease attacks and bombing against Iran for 2 weeks, provided that Iran FULLY, IMMEDIATELY, AND SAFELY opens the Strait of Hormuz.”
2. “We received a 10-point document from Iran, and we believe that it is a useful basis for negotiations. “Almost all the previously controversial issues between the US and Iran have been agreed upon, but two weeks will allow the Agreement to be finalized.”
It is very important news that the region avoided an unpredictable escalation today. But we are not in a hurry to draw conclusions, because:
A. This can be a maneuvering step for both sides. It is not a fact that Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz, or that it will be enough for the USA.
B. This may be a matter of buying time for both sides to recover and regroup.
C. Israel may not agree to stop the war, continue attacks on Iran’s critical infrastructure, and eventually abort the US-Iran agreement.
We are not in a hurry, we are waiting for the actions of all actors.
