US and Iran Forge Two-Week Ceasefire Over Strait of Hormuz
The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, brokered by Pakistan. Under the deal, US military strikes will pause and Iran will fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Israel has also suspended its operations during this period. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir intervened hours before a US deadline for major attacks. While the truce is now in effect, full implementation at lower military levels in Iran may take time. Global markets reacted positively to the halt in hostilities. The temporary pause reduces immediate risks in the region and creates a narrow window for longer-term diplomatic and energy security negotiations.
