00:23Hours after warning that an entire civilization could be wiped out overnight,
00:28U.S. President Donald Trump has suddenly stepped back.
00:34In a dramatic shift, Trump has announced a two-week pause on strikes against Iran, opening
00:42a narrow window for diplomacy in an escalating war.
00:46And the biggest breakthrough?
00:48Iran has agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
00:53This is critical.
00:54The Strait of Hormuz handles nearly one-fifth of the world's oil supply.
01:00Any disruption here can shake global markets instantly.
01:05Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, saying the United States has accepted a ceasefire
01:11proposal, brokered by Pakistan's Prime Minister Shabazz Sharif, along with military leadership.
01:17The deal is simple but high-stakes, a two-week halt in hostilities and, in return, the immediate
01:26reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
01:29But there is a condition.
01:32Trump says the ceasefire depends on Iran ensuring complete, immediate and safe passage through
01:39the Strait.
01:40At the same time, Washington says it has received a 10-point proposal from Tehran.
01:47And according to Trump, this could be the starting point for a long-term peace agreement in the
01:53Middle East.
01:54On the Iranian side, Foreign Minister Syed Abbas Aragachi confirmed the move.
02:00He stated that Iran will stop its defensive operations but only if attacks against the
02:06country are fully halted.
02:09He also made it clear safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be coordinated with
02:14Iran's armed forces and may face technical limits.
02:19So this is not a full peace deal yet.
02:22It is a temporary pause with conditions on both sides.
02:28Behind the scenes, global players are also involved.
02:32Reports suggest China pushed Iran to ease tensions, while Pakistan stepped in at the last minute
02:39to mediate.
02:40And this comes after weeks of intense conflict.
02:44Since the war began in late February, thousands have been killed across Iran, Israel and Lebanon,
02:51with millions impacted.
02:53Just hours before the ceasefire, Trump had warned of catastrophic consequences, saying
03:00an entire civilization could be destroyed if a deal was not reached.
03:06Now that tone has shifted to cautious optimism.
03:10Trump says the U.S. has already achieved its military objectives and believes a final agreement
03:16agreement is within reach.
03:18But with only a two-week window and deep mistrust on both sides, the big question remains, is
03:26this the beginning of peace or just a pause before the next escalation?
