U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would agree to a “double-sided” ceasefire with Iran that will see him hold off from further attacks for two weeks in exchange for Tehran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump made the announcement on social media less than two hours before his deadline for what he threatened would be the destruction of Iran’s “civilization.” He said it came after conversations with Pakistani mediators who had been pursuing an end to the war.
“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,” Trump wrote.
“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement that “safe passage” through the Strait of Hormuz will be allowed for two weeks with “coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations.”
“If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations,” he wrote in the statement on behalf of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
Iranian state TV flashed an announcement claiming that Trump had accepted Iran’s terms for ending the war, describing it as a “humiliating retreat” by the U.S. president.
Trump acknowledged a 10-point proposal from Iran on ending the war, which he called “a workable basis on which to negotiate” a long-term peace deal despite rejecting it a day earlier.
“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,” he wrote.
He added the U.S. had “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.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement Wednesday that Israel backed the U.S. ceasefire with Iran but that the deal doesn’t cover fighting against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
His office said Israel also supports U.S. efforts to ensure Iran no longer poses a nuclear or missile threat.
Earlier Tuesday, Trump warned that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran did not meet his deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern to agree to a deal with the U.S. and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has choked off a significant portion of global oil supplies.
“I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday morning, 12 hours ahead of his deadline.
However, he added that there was potential for something “wonderful” to happen in Tehran.
“However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?” he added.
Iranian officials had vowed “an unforgettable hit” and “immediate and proportionate reciprocal measures” if Trump carried through with his threats. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian took to social media on Tuesday to announce that he had registered for military service, along with 14 million Iranians.

Pakistan, which was working towards mediating a ceasefire, urged Trump to extend his deadline and Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.
“To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture,” Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif posted on social media.
Sharif also urged “all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Tuesday that Iran still had time to make a deal with the U.S.
“The Iranian regime has until 8PM Eastern Time to meet the moment and make a deal with the United States. Only the President knows where things stand and what he will do,” Leavitt said.
Trump’s threat against Iran’s civilization came after he vowed to bomb every Iranian power plant and bridge over the weekend unless Iran, and dismissed concerns that such actions could amount to a war crime.
Volker Türk, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, called Trump’s latest threats “sickening” in a statement.
“Carrying through on such threats amounts to the most serious international crimes,” he said. “Threats that spread fear and terror among civilians are unacceptable and must cease immediately.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday that Canada “expects all parties in this conflict” to respect international law.
“That means not targeting, certainly, civilians or civilian infrastructure. And we urge all parties in this war to follow those responsibilities as a point we’ve made publicly and privately,” he said.
There are “some negotiations going on,” Carney told reporters Tuesday, and added that Canada was “not at the center of those negotiations although we have some visibility to them.”
“There is often a gap between what’s said publicly and what’s happening privately,” Carney said at a press conference in Brampton, Ont.
Iranian state media reported Monday that Tehran had rejected a U.S. ceasefire proposal delivered by Pakistani mediators and said a permanent end to the war was necessary.
The Iranian response consisted of 10 clauses, including an end to conflicts in the region, a protocol for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting of sanctions and reconstruction, the official IRNA news agency added.
Trump, in turn, rejected the Iranian response and said his Tuesday deadline was final.
Trump’s shifting deadlines
Trump’s shifting deadlines for the conflict had raised uncertainty over where the conflict was headed as it entered its second month.
On March 21, Trump issued his first ultimatum to Tehran, giving them 48 hours to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran had blocked in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes.
Trump posted on Truth Social that if Iran doesn’t “FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS.”
Iran had until the evening of March 23.
However, 12 hours before that deadline, Trump took to Truth Social again to announce that he had decided to postpone the strikes against Iran.
“I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD,” he wrote, adding that was subject to the success of the discussions.
That pushed the deadline out to the end of that week.
On March 26, just before the deadline, Trump first doubled down on his threats, adding that there was “NO TURNING BACK.”
Later that day, however, he postponed his deadline another 10 days to April 6 at 8 p.m. Eastern.
On March 30, Trump put celebrating progress in the talks with Iran while also expanding his threatened bombing if a deal wasn’t “shortly reached,” adding that “it probably will be.”
“We will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!),” he wrote.
On Easter Sunday, in an expletive-laden post on Truth Social, Trump threatened Iran’s power plants and bridges if they did not open the Strait – and extended his deadline once again for 24 hours.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Trump said, warning Iranians to “open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!”
Shortly after that, he simply posted: “Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!”
He confirmed to reporters Monday that the time referred to his final deadline.

Who made millions betting on this ??
The “TACO” people do look stupid now, as some others have pointed out. Trump didn’t flatten Iran and got the Strait open again. I think all people are Trump fans, even the TACO people. They were clearly wanting him to flatten Iran and are dissapointed now. All of us do, really.
I’m on a LOT of drugs right now.

You people are terrifying. You worship a killer, a murderer. A sexual deviant and conman extraordinaire. You support this evil in his bloodlust to cover his tracks. You gleefully support the killing of an entire people. Unreal.
I dont know what else can be said. Folks that openly support genocide and death. Unreal.
I just want to confirm you’re referring to the Ayatollah and IRGC that slaughtered 40000 of their own citizens for simply protesting.
The U.S.A, jokes on you!

You people are hilarious, Trump gets exactly what he wants but yet you call him TACO and if he would have flattened IRAN you would have called him a war criminal can you make up your mind? No matter what he does you won’t agree with it.
There’s a new meaning for TACO
TRUMP
ALWAYS
CRUSHES
OPPONENTS!
Flutter off with your TDS mindset its disgusting.
TACO Wednesday
Google pays $300 on a regular basis. My latest salary check was $8600 for working 10 hours a week on the internet. My younger sibling has been averaging $19k for the last few months, and he constantly works approximately 24 hours. I’m not sure how simple it was once I checked it out.

Sounds very Hitleresque wouldnt you say?
Did he get Israel’s permission for this?
Well,,,,,I guess Easter joined the fools. Isn’t that something.
death of the american empire right here
Just nuke the whole middle east and let’s be done with it !!!
Israel is still bombing Gaza and Lebanon and shooting Palestinians. And anyone who thinks that Netenyau will stop after 30 years of”Iran is within weeks of a nuclear weapon” is wrong. He will keep on bombing and bombing
All talk poser
“a ‘double-sided’ ceasefire”
It should be ‘triple-sided’! Israel is the cause of this whole fiasco. Trump was simply the patsy to Netanyahu!
The Eye-raninans got scared into re-opening Hormuz. I was hoping they’d continue to refuse so that Trump could turn the country into a parking lot. Oh well
Taco being Taco
For all the TDSers, you hated Donald when he was anti war, you have a legitimate reason now, but do you really think he has any control? He is controlled by the same interests that controlled epstein. This isnt trumps war, this is probably because Isreal threatened to nuke Iran otherwise. He has no power, he is probably controlled by the same people who coordinated epstein. Give it up already
Next on the Trump agenda…..Cuba.
Epstein said, he was the worst ruthless humans on the plant
HE HAD NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO BACK DOWN OR, HE’D BE CHARGED WITH GENOSIDE.
TRUMP IS A LOSE CANNON IN EVERY RESPECT.
And tomorrow trump will change again.
Who cares?
What a pussy , Americans are are laughing stock now…lol😂
…and I haven’t even bothered to read one page of the 3.5 million pages released so far myself.
Even though I know there’s nothing in them
Thats cool, but we still gonna need those rapestein files.
I guess i’m a major f *ucking moron. Every major new outlet on the planet right now is reporting the Strait is transitioning to a temporary re-opening during a last minute deal made between the U.S. and Iran through Pakistan. But I can’t really read because I never made it past Grade 1.
Try This, were does it say Iran gave in? Is the straight open? Last I heard they were telling Rump to f*ck off. More like Rump chicken out from pressure. Poor poor Insane Petey will ahve to wait to play now. Two more weeks to take Rumps head.
Sorry I didn’t even really read the story. Looks like the Iranians gave in. Oh well. Then again who wants their entire infrasturcture wiped out?
So Trump got what he needed – the immediate re-opning of the Strait. The Iranians had to put that forward via Pakistan today otherwise they would have gotten absoluetly destroyed tonight. The Iranian regime even encouraged civilians to hang out on bridges and around power plants. How sick is that? The Iranian regime still needs to be given the boot.
Watch out now, Trump is a notorious liar. Changes his tune like an old piano.
Must need more money. Two more weeks of stock market manipulation and fraud to continue to fill his pockets and those of his cronies. F*ck Trump and every idiot who supports him.
So TACO backed down again, as predicted. He is not insisting on his rules, but will accept the Iran peace plan (With a few modifications)
One would be that Iran does not own the strait. And probably US will not pay for repairs. They cannot afford it.
I wonder if Israel will obey the agreement and stop attacking and occupying foreign countries… Probably not.
Glad it didnt have to come to it
I wonder if any of what he said is true
Anyone with a brain knew this wouldn’t actually happen. What a chump and joke Trump is.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, taco Trump is back
Taco Trump
Israel is a terrorist nation. It must be destroyed.
Back to the stone age you go. Wont happen, trump has no balls. And anyone who obeys a paedos orders is a paedo themselves.

trump needs the 25th amendment. He’s nuttier than a squirrel turd and everyone knows it.
TRUMP is one sick demented CREATURE WITH NO HEART!!
Well, there is still time to put one in his head.
Can you please post my comment
Thanks
Seems like a lot just to distract us from that ring he led. Er, informed on.
And all it took was threatening the entire world.
Just drop a nuke on them and let them wither away.
Sick of these barbaric countries holding us all back
which civilization would that be
Ancient civilization is right-still living in the stone age.
Someone needs to stop Trump and his bullying tactics before he starts a 3rd world war.
Oh well, they dont wanna listen then thats on them. wgaf
THE IRANIAN REGIME HAS INDESCRIMATELY ATTACKED AND THROUGH PROXIES INCLUDING CIVILIAN POPULATIONS… * THE PARTY IS OVER
THANKFULLY TRUMPS LEADERSHIP WILL ADDRESS THIS EVIL… FORCEFULLY. ..!!!
BEST THAT THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT NOT SPEAK… OPENLY.. SUGGESTING WHEN THEY MAY STRIKE… LEST THE IRANIANS PREPARE FOR THIS ONSLAUGHT WITH THEIR ENTIRE DEFENSE- MISSILES … TO CONFRONT ANY INCURSIONS…
What do you expect – they bombed a children’s school and then originally blamed Iran – of course he thinks he can do what he wants – when will thus mad man be stopped ✋️
Trump is a deranged, vile, lunatic who should be institutionalized along with Netanyahu. The US and Israel started this war and the innocent civilians and world has to pay the price, with lives lost and economic damage. Get rid of the moron the world will be a better place.
Trump says a lot of things, it’s his tactic. Then he backtracks and tries another solution. It’s Trump, a negotiator.
The problem is with Iran.
Please post my request,
Trump is a warmonger, stupid and illiterate and should be impeached and imprisoned.Maybe he should ask his sons, grandson and son-in-law if they are willing to fight and attack Iran.
No worries, he is bluffing.
Have human rights organizations, Western media, and Western countries all gone deaf? Have they suddenly started acting all innocent and virtuous? What double-standard hypocrites!
How is this not your top story? Instead we find three day old stories….
Do better Global!!
Time the world got together.
Make sure the United States and Israel do not exist to their countries. Close their embassies and close whatever army bases they have throughout the world.
He thought it would be another quick Venezuela military action, or that’s what Pete told him. Pete had wet Crusade 3 followed by the rapture wet dream.
Massive distraction from the real things happening behind the scenes.
Should be impeached and charged for war crimes.acts like a spoiled child and is totally mentally disturbed.
It appears a deluded truthless emotionally volatile inhumane mad man is recklessly deploying the most powerful military and power in the world for his own vision of dominance of the world. The thousands of people killed and more if he continues matters little to him.For that reason alone, and so many other irrational destructive truthless acts , he must be disempowered and stopped .
Criminal so called president need to be teach a lesson
Trump is CRAZY and needs to be stopped.
Really I only read the story to see which nation he was speaking about. He could very easily be directing these comments to the citizens of the United States Of America. He has already sent in stormtroopers into American cities to brutalize American citizens and visible minorities regardless of their immigration status.
That man has completely lost his ability to think straight,time to get him out of office now before he starts WWW 3,along with his gang of horrible nasty people.God help the normal citizens of USA.
This is the talk of a madman and he has to be removed from power. He should be concerned with the horrible conditions in his own country.
I wonder what Trump is thinking, or if… Is he actually planning the genocide that Israel wants? or is he announcing a regime change that has not happened to justify his retreat. Calling it the most important moment in the world seems to be leaning towards the second thought. Time will tell.
Wild that any leader can talk like this
He will kill a whole nation to cover his sexual fetishes and Global will support it and happily report it till their lights go out too!
Unreal!! Truth is being suppressed! Trump needs to be stopped and Netanyahu as well.
Thank you “Murica for unleashing this on us!
pea brain.
TACO Tuesday
See ya!
