“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan, in which they asked me to halt the destructive force that will be sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the full, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack on Iran for two weeks.

“Furthermore, this administration’s self-enrichment, insider trading, and pure corruption resulting from this chaos — from cryptocurrencies to predictive trading markets to ‘settlements’ — has pitted the Trump administration’s pursuit of personal wealth squarely against the well-being of our nation and its people.

“We cannot risk the world or our nation’s well-being any longer,” she wrote. “None of these considerations should be partisan, but should be engaged in good faith by Americans of all backgrounds who care about the safety and stability of the United States. Whether through his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing on the edge.”
