President Donald Trump said he would suspend bombing operations against Iran for two weeks if Tehran agrees to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal follows a public appeal urging a pause in military action to allow diplomatic efforts to continue and to create space for renewed negotiations.

Pakistan called on Iran to reopen the strategic waterway as a goodwill gesture and encouraged a temporary ceasefire during the proposed pause. The White House said Trump had been informed of the proposal and that a formal response would be issued after further consideration.
