Full report: US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire, with Tehran saying it will reopen strait of Hormuz
Donald Trump has pulled back on his threats to launch devastating strikes on Iran, less than two hours before a deadline he set for Tehran to capitulate or else a “whole civilization will die.” Trump said he was holding off on his threatened attacks on Iranian bridges, power plants and other civilian targets, subject to Tehran agreeing to a two-week ceasefire and reopening the strait of Hormuz, the waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil is shipped during peacetime.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said it had conditionally accepted a two-week ceasefire if attacks agains Iran are halted.
