U.S. President Donald Trump said he would halt attacks on Iran for two weeks on the condition that the Strait of Hormuz be immediately and fully opened. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also said that "through coordination with Iranian military forces over two weeks, stable shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz will become available." The development is widely seen as a de facto agreement between the U.S., Israel, and Iran on a two-week ceasefire and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran's demands reportedly include permission to enrich uranium needed for its nuclear program, signaling a rocky road ahead in future negotiations.
