Donald Trump Agrees to Iran Ceasefire 2 Hours Before Deadline to Destroy A 'Whole Civilization'
President Donald Trump has agreed to a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran.
The agreement comes in a little under two hours before the 8pm deadline he set earlier today when he would unleash a threat that would destroy “a whole civilization” if an agreement wasn’t reached.
According to CNN, the deal, brokered by Pakistan, was made on the condition that Iran agrees to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“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, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
He continued, “The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”
“We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution,” Trump added.
The ceasefire comes just days after Trump unleashed a profanity-laden rant on Easter Sunday where he threatened to send Iran to Hell.
