Donald Trump announced that the United States has agreed to a temporary two-week ceasefire with Iran, following a proposal facilitated by Pakistan. The agreement is intended to pause ongoing military activity and create space for further diplomatic discussions.
Iranian officials have also indicated their acceptance of the arrangement. Abbas Araghchi confirmed that Iran would participate in the ceasefire and coordinate specific measures during the two-week period.
As part of the agreement, Iran stated it would allow safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This waterway is a critical global transit route for oil and natural gas, making its accessibility a key concern for international markets.
While the ceasefire marks a pause in hostilities, it remains temporary and dependent on continued cooperation from both sides. Officials have indicated that further negotiations will be necessary to determine whether a longer-term agreement can be reached.
