Donald Trump has expressed approval for the ceasefire reached after his threats towards Iran, stating that significant financial gains would be made in the country. The US President issued a statement following the conditional two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran, just under two hours before the deadline he had set for the regime to comply with his demands. Trump described the agreement as a significant step for global peace after it was announced.
He mentioned that the US would assist in easing traffic congestion in the Strait of Hormuz and highlighted the potential for substantial economic opportunities as Iran embarks on reconstruction efforts. The ceasefire, brokered between Iran, the US, and Israel, came after a call from the Pakistani Prime Minister for more time to facilitate diplomatic talks between the conflicting parties.
Prior to the last-minute agreement, Trump had issued a stern warning to Iran, emphasizing the severe consequences if Tehran failed to reach a deal with Washington. Despite the initial tension with Iran, Trump praised the ceasefire as a major advancement towards peace. In a message on Truth Social, the President hailed the occasion as a significant milestone for world peace.
Shifting focus to economic aspects, Trump discussed the role of the US in managing traffic flow in the Strait of Hormuz and anticipated lucrative opportunities, especially in the oil sector. He expressed confidence in a successful reconstruction process in Iran and drew parallels between the situation in the Middle East and a potential “Golden Age.”
The ceasefire agreement with Iran remains contingent, with Washington yet to confirm its participation in scheduled talks in Islamabad on Friday. While Iran presented a 10-point proposal for the ceasefire, some elements have been previously rejected by the US. Trump acknowledged the proposal and expressed belief in its potential for negotiation, aiming to finalize the agreement within the two-week period.
