Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the weeknight. I'm Simone Sanders Townsend with Eugene Daniels and Jackie Alamani in for Alicia and Michael.

Let's get right to tonight's breaking news. Donald Trump just caved, backing down from his fake deadline,

averting for now what the president described this morning as an attack on Iran that would lead to the death of a, quote, whole civilization.

Let's continue our breaking coverage. Donald Trump has announced that the United States has

reached a two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran. Contingent, very important point here,

on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier tonight, MS now reported that more than

50 House Democrats are now calling

for Trump's removal, either through impeachment or the 25th Amendment in the wake of Trump's

threats against Iran. Iran has been a threat to the United States and the free world

for 47 years. Chance of death to America, targeting our people, killing Americans, lying and blackmailing

their way toward a nuclear weapon, so they thought.

No longer, not on our watch.

Other presidents marked time and kicked the can down the road. President Trump made history.

From the strike that took out Qasem Soleimani to tearing up the disastrous Obama-Iran deal,

to the precision campaign that obliterated Iran's nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer,

to the decisive military victory

we just achieved in Operation Epic Fury. No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this

commander-in-chief. President Trump forged this moment. Iran begged for this ceasefire,

and we all know it. As the President

Truth this morning, a big day for world peace. Iran wants it to happen. They've had enough.

Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital V military victory.

By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come.
