PANews reported on April 8th that, according to Jinshi News, US President Trump stated early this morning: "Based on my meetings with Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif and Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir, who requested that I not deploy destructive forces to Iran tonight, and on the condition that Iran agrees to fully, immediately, and safely open the Strait of Hormuz, I have agreed to a two-week suspension of bombing and attacks against Iran. This will be a two-way ceasefire! The reason for this is that we have met and even exceeded all military objectives and made significant progress toward a long-term peace agreement with Iran and a Middle East peace agreement. We received Iran's ten-point proposal and consider it a viable basis for negotiations. Almost all past points of contention between the United States and Iran have been resolved, and two weeks will allow the agreement to be finalized and put into effect. As President of the United States and on behalf of the Middle East, I am very honored to have made progress on the resolution of this long-standing issue."

Furthermore, according to an Axios report this morning, US defense officials stated that the ceasefire has taken effect and the US has suspended strikes against Iran. White House officials said it is expected to take some time for the ceasefire order to reach lower-level commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
