President Trump Suspends Iran Military Strikes for Two Weeks Following Pakistani Mediation

President Trump agreed to a two-week suspension of military strikes against Iran after mediation efforts by Pakistani leaders. The deal requires Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to avoid further conflict. The President initially planned the bombing campaign but paused the operation after receiving dire threats regarding civilian infrastructure. Israel announced its support for the pause on the condition that Tehran stops regional attacks. However, Israeli officials clarified that the ceasefire does not include military operations in Lebanon. Within the United States, the move has divided some Republican lawmakers who expressed concern over the President's strategy during the two-week window.
