Senior Israeli diplomatic source: "The United States coordinated the temporary ceasefire with Israel in advance. This is a move in which Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz without receiving any of its prior demand, such as a commitment to a permanent end to the war, compensation, or the lifting of heavy sanctions. Senior officials in the Trump administration made clear to Israel that during the negotiations set to take place over the next two weeks, the U.S. will firmly insist on the removal of nuclear material, a halt to enrichment, and the elimination of the ballistic missile threat. These are shared objectives of both Israel and the United States. Iran has backed down from its demands and conceded to opening the strait under the intense pressure of sustained strikes on regime infrastructure since the outbreak of the war, especially in recent days."
