Read more: Would Trump’s Threatened Attacks on Iran’s Infrastructure Be a War Crime?
“This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”
The announcement marked a sudden de-escalation after a day of extraordinary threats in which Trump warned that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran did not agree to his demands. The tentative ceasefire hinges on Iran’s agreement to immediately and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes. Since the early weeks of the war, Iran has effectively choked off traffic through the passage, triggering a global energy shock that has sent fuel prices soaring and rattled financial markets.
The decision to walk back his threat underscored a familiar pattern in Trump’s presidency: issuing maximalist threats, only to recalibrate as the risks of carrying them out come into sharper focus. It also reflected the competing pressures bearing down on a White House that has spent weeks edging closer to a wider war while searching for a way out of it.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
