Steve HermanPresident Trump, in a post on social media, says that based on mediation via Pakistan, he will agree not to bomb Iran for two weeks -- if Tehran agrees to completely and immediately open the Strait of Hormuz.
Reporters at the White House were given a lid about 12 minutes after the president's social media announcement, so it is unlikely he will make an appearance tonight to elaborate on his statement. (The press office can always lift the lid but this rarely occurs.)
Oil traders have reacted to President Trump's latest message by driving down the price of crude below $100/bbl. https://www.investing.com/commodities/crude-oil

The real threat of nuking was coming from Israel anyhow, and they did not publicly sign off on the peace plan yet. So the question is how well does Trump control Bibi, assuming he's even trying at this point.

Toni Aittoniemi@newsguyusa I donโt trust this #taco this time. Itโs too much for even him. The Republicans might impeach him for goving the whole game away.. Or maybe his brain is just dead meat at this point.
Laukidh@newsguyusa they totally wonโt agree, but itโs his opportunity to back out of the threat

Seppo Helava@newsguyusa sure would be nice if the media could tell us what those objectives are, now that theyโre supposedly complete.
