Israel has agreed to the terms of the two-week US-Iran ceasefire agreement, White House official says
Following US President Trump's announcement, a two-week ceasefire is in effect, contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, vital for 20% of global oil.
- On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, conditional on Tehran ensuring the "COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING" of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif facilitated the deal by urging Trump to extend his 8 p.m. Tuesday deadline, allowing diplomacy to advance as threatened strikes on Iranian infrastructure loomed.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi confirmed the pause, though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated the ceasefire excludes Lebanon, where operations against Hezbollah continue.
- Global oil prices fell and markets rallied Wednesday as the ceasefire eased energy supply fears, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the truce as necessary de-escalation.
- Delegations from both nations meet Friday, April 10, 2026, in Islamabad to negotiate a permanent settlement, though Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missiles remain unresolved flashpoints.
