Israel has agreed to the terms of the two-week US-Iran ceasefire agreement, White House official says

Israel backed the U.S. pause as the U.S. and Iran sought to finalize a deal after nearly 2,000 deaths in Iran, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, suspending planned military strikes after receiving assurances regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Trump had threatened to destroy Iranian infrastructure unless the regime reopened the crucial waterway, through which 20% of global oil passes in peacetime, following earlier attacks on energy facilities.
  • Under the framework, vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz will face a $2 million fee under a "controlled transit" system, while negotiators prepare to meet in Islamabad on Friday to finalize details.
  • While the truce brought relief to 90 million Iranians, hardliners in Tehran protested the agreement, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon will continue.
  • Analysts warn it remains unclear if the two-week pause is a genuine diplomatic opening or merely a tactical delay, with deep mistrust persisting over Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
