Trump declares two-week ceasefire with Iran and claims Strait of Hormuz will re-open as Tehran submits 10-point peace plan to end the war | 7 April 2026 | President Donald Trump announced Tuesday night that Iran has agreed to a two-week ceasefire and will re-open the Strait of Hormuz, after Tehran submitted a 10-point peace plan to end the war. Trump posted on Truth Social, “I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” after earlier sparking doomsday fears when he threatened to wipe out its “entire civilization” if they did not reopen the strait. Iran accepted the Pakistan-brokered deal after a last-minute Chinese intervention urging Tehran to show flexibility over the war’s economic fallout, three Iranian officials told the New York Times. The officials said that the ceasefire was approved by the new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei… Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the truce and that “safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible” during the two-week period.
