According to the piece, Iran would keep the strait open and Israel would halt attacks on Iran, with Trump boasting of a \u201cbig day for World Peace\u201d on Truth Social and in posts that hint at a permanent peace and future regime-change discussions.

Though, subsequent reporting cited by the Times of Israel suggests peace had not arrived, noting Iran\u2019s claim of an attack on an oil refinery and its missiles and drones directed at kuwait and the UAE, along with Israel\u2019s strikes on Lebanon, which could undermine the ceasefire narrative.

He claimed that Pakistani intermediaries pressured him to cancel planned attacks on Iran and to pause for two weeks if Iran allowed the Strait of Hormuz to remain open. Iran reportedly agreed to keep the strait open, and Israel said it would stop attacking Iran. Trump touted the move as a historic step toward world peace in posts that praised a sequence of actions against Iran-from the strike that killed Qasem Soleimani to dismantling the Obama-era Iran deal and a precise campaign against Iran\u2019s nuclear program. He spoke of possible reconstruction in Iran and promised cooperation that could include sanctions relief, while asserting no uranium enrichment and continued surveillance. Despite these upbeat statements, reporting by the Times of Israel indicated peace had not arrived by Wednesday morning. Iran claimed an attack on an oil refinery and retaliatory strikes on Kuwait and the UAE, and Israel said it had hit sites in Lebanon, contradicting Pakistani assurances that the two\u2011week ceasefire would cover the conflict with Hezbollah.
