Later on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he would postpone the threatened attacks on Iranian bridges and power plants, as the U.S. and Iran had agreed to a two-week ceasefire, which included the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has stated that it has accepted the ceasefire agreement and will begin negotiations with the U.S. in Islamabad from Friday. Neither Iran nor the U.S. has indicated when the ceasefire will come into effect.

A White House official stated that Israel had also agreed to the ceasefire. According to the Pakistani Prime Minister, who has been mediating the talks, the ceasefire agreement requires Israel and Hezbollah to cease hostilities in Lebanon.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that passage through the Strait will be permitted under Iranian military supervision. It remains unclear whether this implies that Iran will completely relax its control over the waterway.
