President Trump revealing just a short time ago. that he has now agreed to a two-week ceasefire. in the war in Iran. The president now says it all depends on Iran. Iran now agreeing to the complete and immediate opening. of the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump had threatened Iran that a "whole civilization". will die tonight if they did not agree to. opening the Strait. So tonight, here Iran's response, but we begin. with Mary Bruce and the breaking news from. the White House. Tonight 90 minutes before his deadline, President.

Trump announcing he has agreed to suspend. the bombing and attack of Iran. For a period of two weeks, he says his decision. would depend on Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of. Hormuz about an hour later, Iran announcing. it had agreed. The president calling the ceasefire. double sided it comes at the end of a. day that began with Trump's dire threat. A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.

The president's extraordinary threat that a whole civilization. will die tonight, condemned in Rome by the. first American pope. Attacks on civilian infrastructure is against. international law, but that it is also a sign. of the hatred, the division, the destruction that the. human being is capable of. And here at home by dozens of Democratic lawmakers. Donald Trump just said that the entire civilization. of Iran is going to die tonight if Iran doesn't. reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

That is pure evil. Some Republicans cheering the president on. Senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota saying if the cruel, unelected rulers of Iran are stupid enough to think President. Trump is bluffing, I hope they're prepared to meet. their maker. But Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, saying Trump's. words cannot be excused away as an attempt to. leverage in negotiations, calling them an affront. to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and. promote around the world.

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson usually in lockstep with the. president, but not tonight. I do not want to see us start blowing up. civilian infrastructure. I do not want to see that. We are not at war with the Iranian people. Yeah, we are trying to liberate them. Trump's one time close ally, Tucker Carlson, disgusted on every level. It is vile on every level. Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green.

in posting 25th Amendment. Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness. Today, inside Iran, anguish. Fatima, an engineer, telling us, "I am against the regime, and I want them gone with every cell of my body. But by no means do I agree with a foreign power. destroying what has been built by my people, for my people and for the future of our children. - The president announcing this two-week ceasefire.

Iran says it's on board, but David, there are still a lot of details to be negotiated. We'll see what happens in the coming hours and days. David. - All right, Mary Bruce with the breaking news from. the White House tonight. Mary, our thanks to you. So tonight, our chief foreign correspondent, Ian Pannel, in the region. Ian has been poring over Iran's response tonight. and where this now potentially goes from here. Here's Ian now. Tonight, Iranian officials now saying. they've agreed to suspend hostilities for two weeks. after President Trump announced late tonight.

that temporary ceasefire. Iran's foreign minister confirming the reopening. of the critical Strait of Hormuz during this ceasefire period. But tonight, with multiple statements issued by Iran. in response, the hours ahead will be critical. Tonight, Iran's National Security Council. insisting it will retain control of the Strait of Hormuz, maintained the right to enrich uranium, which President. Trump had vowed to stop. The statement also says US sanctions should be lifted and. reparations paid for war damage.

With President Trump's threat to blow up Iran's bridges and. power plants, Iran had warned it would retaliate with. immediate and proportionate attacks across the region. But tonight that all appears on hold, with the world now. watching to see if the ceasefire holds and Iran now. making its own demands. And tonight in another major development, one week after. American journalist Shelley Kittleson was kidnapped. in Baghdad by a pro-Iranian militia, she's finally been freed. The militia releasing her on the condition she.

leaves Iraq immediately. David, back to the ceasefire announced by President Trump. It appears that Iran has agreed to it, but it's also clear. it has its own demands now and Iran is claiming victory. Meetings are now being discussed, but this all remains very tenuous. with the world watching that straight of hormones tomorrow. David or Ian panel from the region. and Mary Bruce are thanks to both. of you for the breaking news tonight, involving the war in Iran. And of course will continue to follow this into the evening. In the meantime, back here in the. US breaking news here at home tonight as well.

Reports of a high school principal who. has been shot and wounded in Oklahoma. Police say he tried to stop an armed suspect, a former. student. Here's Trevor Alt. Tonight, dozens of police and first responders. swarming this Oklahoma high school after a principal. was shot while trying to stop a suspect. The police say is a former student. who had entered the school with a gun that calls for. help coming around two o'clock local time when. police say the suspect opened fire in the lobby of Paul's. Valley High School just outside Oklahoma City.

The entire school system placed. on lockdown. Investigators say Principal Kirk Moore. saw the suspect had a gun and stepped in to stop him. The suspect then firing multiple rounds. School staff subdued the shooter. until law enforcement arrived. The actions of the staff and the principal. stepping in as soon as they saw a subject with. a firearm saved lives today. Principal Moore was air lifted to the hospital, reportedly in stable condition. Video shows him alert looking around. as the chopper landed.

Authorities tell ABC News all students have been confirmed. safe and accounted for. I just think it's kind of crazy. I didn't expect this, especially because. this is like a very small town and yeah, I. just came out of nowhere. and David investigators say that suspect, a former. student is a 20 year old male, though there's. no word yet on a motive. David Trevor all on the breaking news here at home. Trevor, thank you. Also, Justin, tonight we have. learned of an investigation now of an ice involved. shooting tonight. Homeland Security saying federal. agents opening fire outside San Jose, California and.

what they now claim that the suspect was trying. to do. Here's our chief justice correspondent, Pierre Thomas. Tonight, the FBI investigating the chaotic moments. seen in this video as ICE agents around a vehicle. outside of San Jose. Moments after the ICE agents approached the car, it abruptly backs up, crashing into a truck. and then swinging toward the agents. as the driver speeds away, those agents. shooting at the car. Homeland Security officials claim that ICE agents. were trying to arrest a suspected gang member.

wanted in El Salvador in connection to a murder. They say the driver weaponized his vehicle. and attempted to run over the officers. Quote, fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public. The suspect identified as Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, who was taken to a local hospital, his condition unknown. It appears no agents were injured. David, this video shows just how volatile. the administration's immigration enforcement campaign.

remains. Pierre Thomas, live in Washington. Pierre, thank you now to a near disaster involving a. packed school bus. This is in florida. The bus with 29 Children on board clipped. by a train at a railroad crossing tonight. That bus driver now charged and. what she allegedly said just moments before that. collision. Here's will Reeve. tonight. You're watching what florida officials. are calling a near catastrophic disaster. A school bus with 29 Children. on board clipped by a fast moving train at this.

She said the car began to so she began to. go over the other side of the tracks, but the car stopped. But according to the arrest affidavit,
