Remarks on regional impact and recovery
Trump stated that Iran had suffered considerable damage during the recent conflict. He added that the ceasefire could pave the way for reconstruction efforts within the country in the coming period.

He also referred to economic activity in the Strait of Hormuz, noting that oil tanker movement is expected to increase again. According to him, the United States would support this process, which could lead to improved financial activity in the region.

Projecting a broader regional impact, Trump said the ceasefire could usher in what he described as a “golden era” for West Asia. He expressed confidence that the agreement would contribute to stability and economic revival across the region.

The ceasefire, agreed upon for a period of two weeks, was described by Trump as a successful outcome. He indicated that further positive developments could follow in the coming days.

International response to ceasefire
Indonesia welcomed the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran. The country emphasised the importance of respecting sovereignty and resolving conflicts through diplomatic means.

A spokesperson from Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry, Yenne Mivangkoang, stated that dialogue remains the appropriate path to address disputes. The response reflects broader international support for de-escalation and diplomatic engagement.

The ceasefire comes after a phase of heightened tensions between the United States and Iran. The agreement is being viewed as a temporary measure aimed at reducing hostilities and creating space for further negotiations.

Developments in the coming days are expected to determine the long-term impact of the ceasefire on regional stability and international relations.
