Late Tuesday, ahead of a scheduled catastrophe, Pres. Donald Trump called off the bombardment of Iran and agreed to a two-week ceasefire. He'd threatened to use a level of force strong enough to destroy Iranian "civilization" using language and tone unheard of from past U.S. leaders or high-powered Christians. A 10-day ultimatum ended today. Trump said in a statement he was cooperating with a request from Pakistani negotiators. He said he received a workable 10-point plan from Iran and will work to finalize it over the next two weeks if Tehran agreed and the Straight of Hormuz was re-opened. According to the Associated Press, Egyptian, Pakistani and Turkish mediators had sent Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff a proposal calling for a 45-day ceasefire and the reopening of the strait that was rejected. The Pentagon is expected to provide updated details Wednesday morning.
