From USA TODAY.

President Donald Trump announced the United States reached a ceasefire with Iran for two weeks after earlier threatening to destroy Iranian energy and transportation infrastructure and wipe out a "whole civilization."

The pause came less than two hours before the 8 p.m. ET deadline Trump set for a deal. The agreement, the president said, will be contingent on Iran allowing oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway used to ship much of the world’s oil.
