Iran has accepted United States President, Donald Trump’s two-week ceasefire agreement.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, disclosed this in a statement he personally released on X Tuesday.
According to him, the conditional ceasefire deal was brokered by the prime minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, on behalf of United States President Donald Trump.
Araghchi said the Iranian military will halt defensive operations provided attacks against it are stopped.
“If attacks against Iran are halted, our powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations,” he said.
He added that safe passage of ships will be possible through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks.
“For a period of 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,” Araghchi wrote a viral statement.
Recall that Trump had earlier declared a two-week cease-fire.
The ceasefire deal between the US and Iran had led to oil prices falling significantly by 14 percent to below $100 per barrel.
