Donald Trump Hails Iran-US Ceasefire: 'Big Day For World Peace', Calls It 'Golden Age of Middle East'

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, Aoril 8, hailed the Iran-US ceasefire and called the development a big day for world peace. He also stated that the US will be loading up with "supplies of all kinds" to Iran. His statement came hours after the announcement of ceasefire on Iran-US-Israel war.

"A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they've had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process. We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just "hangin' around" in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East," said Donald Trump on Truth Social

The US has paused planned military strikes on Iran for two weeks, creating a narrow diplomatic window. Donald Trump linked the pause to Iran's readiness to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and hold talks. Both governments still prepare for conflict, while missile threats and Israeli operations show that the war environment remains active despite the temporary US-Iran ceasefire.

The announcement followed a day of strong threats from Trump, who warned of destroying Iran's civilisation. Mediators intervened late, after which Trump said US forces had already met their main combat goals. Trump also hinted that negotiators were close to a wider deal, although neither side has presented a final text for the US-Iran ceasefire.

US-Iran ceasefire terms and limits
The ceasefire is designed as a brief pause, not a formal settlement. It runs for only two weeks and can be reversed quickly by either party. Trump called it a "double sided ceasefire," while officials on both sides stressed its conditional nature. Iran's supreme national security council stated that the pause "does not signify the termination of the war," framing it as a tactical move.

Iran's statement went further, underlining that military readiness continues throughout the US-Iran ceasefire. It declared, "It is emphasized that this does not signify the termination of the war," the statement said. "Our hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with full force," reported AP.

Diplomacy around the US-Iran ceasefire
Talks between Washington and Tehran are expected in Islamabad during the two-week pause under the US-Iran ceasefire. Trump wrote on Truth Social: "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." Iranian officials have confirmed they will attend these discussions.

Pakistan's involvement has highlighted how several regional governments are linked to the US-Iran ceasefire process. Statements from Washington suggest that any understanding could also influence fronts in Lebanon and other nearby areas. At the same time, Gulf states and Israel remain on alert, reinforcing that this conflict stretches well beyond direct US-Iran exchanges.

Strait of Hormuz and key demands in the US-Iran ceasefire
A central US condition relates to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy passage where about 20% of global oil moves. Trump has demanded its "complete, immediate, and safe" reopening as part of the US-Iran ceasefire. Iran has agreed in principle but insists that ships must coordinate with Iranian armed forces and follow technical restrictions.
