"Trump threatened to wipe out Iranian civilization if U.S. demands, like opening the Strait of Hormuz, were not met by an 8 p.m. deadline."
"Trump later extended the deadline by two weeks after accepting a proposal from Pakistan, which has been mediating negotiations between the U.S. and Iran."

Iran and Oman will maintain toll charges for cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, despite President Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire.

Trump claimed Iran agreed to the complete and safe opening of the strait, while threatening severe consequences if U.S. demands were not met. He later received a 10-point proposal from Iran, which he considers a viable basis for future negotiations.
