President Trump said he agreed to suspend attacks on Iran
President Trump said he agreed to suspend attacks on Iran for two weeks subject to the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, pointing to progress on a 10-point proposal from Tehran. The U.S. has halted all offensive operations in Iran, according to a senior U.S. official. Stock futures surged and oil prices fell sharply on the news. The announcement came less than two hours before his imposed deadline on Iran to either make a deal that includes opening the Strait of Hormuz or face major attacks on its civilian infrastructure. Earlier Tuesday, Trump had threatened to wipe out the entirety of the country’s civilization if Tehran didn’t cede to his demands by 8 p.m. Eastern Tuesday. Iran’s government signaled its intention to continue asserting influence over Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that for two weeks “safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations.” Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said that negotiations with the U.S. will start Friday in Islamabad. Israel is continuing to strike Iran despite the announcement of a cease-fire, an Israeli security official said. #MarketRebound #PolymarketMajorUpgrade #StrategyBTCPurchase #CZReleasedMemeoir
