According to the document, Trump says the two Pakistani officials urged him to delay the “destructive force” scheduled to launch “tonight,” offering a path toward de-escalation if Iran agreed to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz — one of the most critical shipping lanes on Earth.
The President states that U.S. military objectives have already been met “and exceeded,” and that Washington is now “very far along” in shaping a long-term peace framework with Tehran. He also revealed that Iran submitted a 10-point proposal, which he described as a “workable basis” for negotiations moving forward.
Nearly all long-standing points of tension have been “agreed to in principle,” according to the letter, and the two-week ceasefire window will be used to finalize the full agreement.
Trump closes the message by calling this moment an “honor” for the United States and for the Middle East, expressing hope that one of the region’s most persistent conflicts may finally be near resolution.
