US and Iran Agree Two-Week Ceasefire, Halting Threats of Heavy Strikes

On Tuesday, the United States and Iran reached a surprise ceasefire deal just hours before President Trump’s ultimatum deadline. Under the agreement brokered by Pakistan, both sides will suspend military action for two weeks while Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz for safe passage. President Trump hailed the pause as a step toward a lasting peace plan, noting a ten-point framework agreed with Iran. Iranian leaders also celebrated the truce, calling it a victory for their own proposal and warning that any breach could reignite hostilities. Despite broad support for the ceasefire, Israel clarified that the pause does not cover Lebanon. Both parties will meet in Islamabad on April 10 for further talks aimed at finalizing terms and addressing longstanding disputes.
