Donald Trump has welcomed the agreement of a ceasefire with Iran, calling it a “big day for World Peace”.
As we reach a cessation, former diplomat Arthur Snell joins Lewis Goodall to share his thoughts on the winners and losers of the war.
Trump agreed to a provisional two-week ceasefire in the Iran war after pulling back at the last-minute from his apocalyptic warning that “a whole civilisation will die” unless Tehran met his demands.
Less than two hours before his deadline passed for Iran to agree a deal, the US president said he was suspending his threat to widen the military offensive to power plants and bridges subject to the reopening of the critical Strait of Hormuz waterway.
He said Tehran proposed a 10-point plan that provided “a workable basis on which to negotiate”.
The US President praised the action on Truth Social this morning, saying he feels this “could be the Golden Age of the Middle East”, and told AFP in an interview the ceasefire was “total and complete victory” for the US.
