Former senior Pentagon strategic analyst Michael Maloof told CGTN the two-week ceasefire agreed between Iran and the United States is likely to only be a temporary reprieve and warns that huge gaps still need to be bridged before a permanent end to the fighting can be declared. US President Donald Trump said late on Tuesday that he has agreed to what he called a "double-sided" ceasefire with Iran, less than two hours before his deadline to destroy Iran's civilization and the nation. Iranian ‌Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas ‌Araghchi said Iran ‌would stop its operations if ‌attacks ‌against the country ‌were halted. He added safe passage through the Strait ‌of Hormuz would be possible for two weeks. Iran submitted a 10-point ceasefire proposal that was delivered by Pakistan, a mediator in the war in the Middle East. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said his decision is subject to Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
