Trump announces two-week ‘double-sided ceasefire’ hours before Iran deadline

Iran agreed Tuesday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as Tehran and the US reached a two-week ceasefire deal — a dramatic breakthrough in a nearly 40-day war that rattled global shipping and sent gas prices soaring.

President Trump announced the pause on military strikes on Iran less than 90 minutes before his 8 p.m. deadline — saying it was subject to Tehran agreeing to let ships pass through the key waterway. Israel also agreed to the two-week ceasefire, a White House official told The Post.
