    President Trump, Iran Agree To 2-Week Ceasefire
    Building on the conversations leaked all day, it appears President Trump has withdrawn his threat to end Iranian civilization as they know it…

    Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.

    This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!

    The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Long-term PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.

    We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.

    Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.

    On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Long-term problem close to resolution.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter!

    President DONALD J. TRUMP

    Additionally, CNN reports that Israel has agree to suspend bombing while talks are ongoing.

    Israel is a part of the two-week ceasefire Trump agreed to just an hour and a half before his deadline, a senior White House official tells CNN.

    Israel has agreed to also suspend its bombing campaign while negotiations continue, the official said.

    And the most important variable, Iran, is also on the same page, and accepts Pakistan’s two-week ceasefire proposal with the deal approved by the New Supreme Leaders, according to Iran’s Foreign Minster, Aragchi.
    More importantly, Iran has said that safe passage via Hormuz “possible” for two weeks.
    
    Talks between the US and Iran will start on Friday, although Iran was quick to note that it will engage in talks with complete distrust.

    The reaction is as you would expect.
    Oil plunged (WTI -16%)…
    
    Stocks spiked (S&P Futs +2%)…
    
    Gold ($4800) and Bitcoin ($72500) are soaring.
    Treasury yields and the dollar are tumbling.
    
    …well it wouldn’t be Tuesday without TACOs.
    Last Ditch Peace Effort by Pakistan Prime Minister
    With just hours until Trump’s self declared deadline wherein he said a “whole civilization will die tonight” – Pakistan’s leader and host of mediation efforts, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has tried to introduce a last minute olive branch, hoping that the US will avoid its decimation campaign:

    I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region.

    Will Trump latch on to this plea and last minute effort of good will? The sides are aware of the proposal:

    TRUMP IS AWARE OF PAKISTAN’S PROPOSAL: AXIOS CITING LEAVITT

    Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend…

    In the meantime, some fresh statements via state Tasnim:
    • “If Trump wants to fall into a hole with his madness, we have prepared a black hole for him from which it will be  impossible for him to get out”, Tasnim reports citing an Iranian military source
    • “Have prepared good surprises for Trump’s possible madness; One of them is the addition of Aramco oil facilities, Yanba oil facilities and the Fujairah pipeline to Iran’s goals, and in case of Trump’s crime, Iran will not hesitate to impose heavy costs on America and its partners.”
    • “Trump thinks that with these threats the strait will be opened and the price of oil will go down! He doesn’t know that if he carries out his threat, he will have to wait for the oil price of $200 in the coming days.”
    Axios Cites ‘Glimmer’ of Progress as Trump Deadline Looms
    More from Axios’ Barak Ravid, though we should note that it’s increasingly difficult to know what has legitimacy:

    Progress has been made in the past 24 hours in the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, though reaching a ceasefire deal by President Trump’s 8pm ET deadline still looks like a long shot, according to a U.S. official, an Israeli official and two other sources with knowledge of the talks.

    • A U.S. official said the thinking in the White House has shifted from “can we get there?” to “can we get there by 8 o’clock tonight?”

    These wild headline swings (and in markets) concerning positive or negative signs on the status of indirect negotiations have been going for weeks at this point.
    WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt thinks it’s assuring to inform the public that only Trump knows “where things stand and what he will do,” adding: “The Iranian regime has until 8PM Eastern Time to meet the moment and make a deal with the United States.”
    Russia, China Veto Hormuz Strait Resolution at UNSC
    On Tuesday a UN Security Council resolution on opening the Strait of Hormuz failed due to Russia and China vetoing it. It was drafted by Bahrain and authorized countries to use military force if necessary to open the strait for the free flow of shipping and commerce.
    The resolution garnered 11 votes in favor, but permanent veto-wielding members China and Russia blocked it by registering no votes. This comes after days of pressure from Gulf countries to restore free passage in the strait, amid Trump’s Operation Epic Fury. Russia complained that the UN res would damage “very fragile truce negotiations” by given broad allowance to use military force to reopen the waterway.
    Tehran Times Reverses in Astounding Correction, Now Says Talks Are Not Closed
    The NY Times had also said it only within the last hour, based on the initial headline out of Tehran, that all backchannel talks were suspended.
    Tehran Times deleted this post from 2 hours ago saying all communication with US has closed.
    
    Trump Hints at Possible Deadline Extension
    In a call with FOX’s Bret Baier, Trump says 8 PM deadline today “could change if negotiations move forward, but sticking to deadline for now.” And yet Tehran has said it has suspended all back channel negotiations. TACO Tuesday?

    Meanwhile, per news wires and CNN:

    The Israeli military is on standby and ready to launch strikes on Iran ahead of US President Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, an Israeli security source tells CNN. The Israeli security source said plans have been prepared for a combined US-lsraeli operation with full military coordination pending a green light from Trump.
