General News of Tuesday, 7 April 2026Source: edition.cnn.comPresident Donald Trump said he’d agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, less than two hours before his 8 p.m. deadline to destroy a “whole civilisation.”Trump said the ceasefire agreement was made on the condition that Iran agree to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz. This will be a double-sided CEASEFIRE!,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “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. The White House called a lid at 6:44 p.m., meaning officials don’t anticipate that the press will see Trump for the remainder of the evening.
