White House Says 45-Day Ceasefire With Iran Is ‘One of Many Ideas’ Amid Ongoing Tensions

A White House official confirmed that a proposed 45-day ceasefire between the United States and Iran is “one of many ideas” under discussion, according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid. The official noted that President Donald Trump has not signed off on the plan and that Operation Epic Fury remains ongoing.

Ravid reported that Trump will provide additional details at a news conference in Washington on Thursday at 1:00 pm local time (1700 GMT). The announcement followed earlier reports of a 45-day ceasefire proposal being considered as a temporary measure to reduce hostilities in the region.
