A jubilant President Donald Trump has promised a new “Golden Age of the Middle East” after a last-minute ceasefire agreement was forged with Iran to postpone the latest wave of devastating airstrikes he had threatened.
The president had given the regime in Tehran a Tuesday evening deadline to come to terms, after which he warned he would unleash “hell” by eradicating the country’s power plants and bridges, a prospect that has now been suspended for at least two weeks, providing oil is allowed to resume passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
