US EditionIsrael has agreed to the terms of the two-week US-Iran ceasefire agreement, White House official says
- 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.
- Iran's Supreme National Security Council claimed the U.S. accepted its 10-point plan, while Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted the deal excludes fighting against Hezbollah in Lebanon—a claim Pakistan's leadership disputes.
- Delegations will meet in Islamabad on Friday, April 10, 2026, to negotiate a permanent settlement. Markets reacted positively, with oil prices plunging more than 17 percent following the announcement.
- 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.
