Strait of Hormuz to reopen after Trump announces two-week ‘double-sided ceasefire’ hours before Iran deadline
Iran agreed Tuesday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as Tehran and the US reached a two-week cease-fire deal — a dramatic breakthrough in a nearly 40-day war that rattled global shipping and sent gas prices soaring.
President Trump announced the pause on military strikes on Iran less than 90 minutes before his 8 p.m. deadline — saying it was subject to Tehran agreeing to let ships pass through the key waterway. Israel also agreed to the two-week cease-fire, a White House official told The Post.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said he spoke with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, who urged him to hold off on what he described as a “destructive force” set to be unleashed on Iran.
