Nevertheless, we have just received requests from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to suspend any attacks, as a framework for an agreement has been reached. This will include the immediate, complete, and total opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to Irans nuclear threat. Based on this request, I agree to cancel any attacks for the future interests of the world, and for the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, provided that an agreement can be reached swiftly. The State of Israel shares this commitment with me. Lets get started and get this done.
