Israel has agreed to the terms of the two-week US-Iran ceasefire agreement, White House official says
The pause will open talks in Islamabad as oil prices fall and markets rally, with the Strait of Hormuz reopening tied to compliance.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, contingent on the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan mediated the deal, which pauses U.S. strikes that threatened to destroy Iranian infrastructure.
- Trump had threatened to destroy 'Iranian civilization' if a deal wasn't reached by his 8:00 p.m. deadline. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif brokered the pause, urging Trump to extend the deadline as diplomatic tensions reached a breaking point.

- While the Strait of Hormuz is set to reopen, analysts warn the ceasefire remains fragile. Conflicting accounts regarding Iran's nuclear enrichment and proposed toll collection raise significant questions about the durability of the agreement.
