Shia Markazi Chand Committee president Syed Saif Abbas Naqvi on Wednesday welcomed the two-week ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump, asserting that Iran has succeeded in halting a figure he described as a hooligan spreading terror globally.

Addressing ANI, Naqvi said, “I congratulate everyone. Iran has won. This is good news for the world that Iran put a stop to a hooligan who was spreading terror in the entire world.”

He emphasised that war should be stopped as it results only in loss, and claimed that the global sentiment regarding the conflict has shifted, highlighting that celebrations in Iran starkly contrast with the mood in the West.

“Wherever there is war in the world, there is nothing but loss, and this war should have been stopped. However, this war has ended on a very good note when the superpower status of America was torn to shreds…The entire world is seeing that celebrations are being held in Iran and what the atmosphere is in Israel and America. You will find out through the media,” he added.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced the suspension of bombing and attacks on Iran, implementing a two-week double-sided ceasefire, and described Iran’s 10-point proposal as workable.

The proposal includes key principles such as non-aggression and the continuation of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit chokepoint.

On his Truth Social account, Trump stated that the 10-point proposal provides a foundation for negotiating a permanent deal and reiterated that the US has achieved most of its military objectives.

“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double-sided CEASEFIRE!” Trump said.

“The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate,” he added.

Trump further stated that Iran had agreed to nearly all disputed points and that the extension would allow time to finalise a permanent agreement.

“Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two-week period will allow the Agreement to be finalised and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this long-term problem close to resolution,” he said.
