I hereby declare on behalf of Irans Supreme National Security Council: If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations.

For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Irans Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations.

In what will bring relief to the world the Iranian side has accepted United States President Donald Trumps peace overture and agreed to safe passage via the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks as well as a pause in military operations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi posted the Islamic Republics response on X and said Iran would cease its military operations if it is was not attacked.

On behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran, I express gratitude and appreciation for my dear brothers HE Prime Minister of Pakistan Sharif and HE Field Marshal Munir for their tireless efforts to end the war in the region.
