Trump Holds Back “Destructive Force” of U.S. Military as Iran Agrees to Terms of 2‑Week Ceasefire
Introduction
In a dramatic pivot that has captured global attention, U.S. President Donald Trump announced early this week that he would halt planned U.S. military attacks on Iran and agree to a provisional two‑week ceasefire, contingent on Tehran reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The move marked a sudden de‑escalation in a war that had been intensifying for weeks, threatening to draw in multiple nations and destabilize global energy markets.
