U.S. and Iran agree to two-week ceasefire

The United States and Iran have reached a two-week ceasefire agreement, hours before a deadline set by President Donald Trump for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The deal was brokered by Pakistan, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and military chief Field Marshal Asim Munir acting as mediators. Under the agreement, Iran has pledged to cease counter-attacks and restore safe passage through the strait, which accounts for one-fifth of global oil shipments, provided that attacks against the country stop. Delegations from the U.S. and Iran are scheduled to meet in Islamabad on Friday to discuss a potential long-term peace agreement. While Donald Trump claimed the deal as a total victory, Iranian officials stated that the U.S. had accepted their conditions. Israel has expressed support for the pause in strikes, though the agreement does not extend to the conflict in Lebanon. Recent hostilities included U.S. strikes on Iranian infrastructure and the reported loss of two U.S. military aircraft during a pilot rescue mission.
