US EditionWhat Does the Iran Ceasefire Deal Mean? It Depends on Which Side You Talk To
The truce pauses U.S. strikes and Iranian retaliation while negotiators work on a final deal and keep the Strait of Hormuz open.
- President Donald Trump and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday, hours before a U.S. deadline. The truce is contingent on Iran agreeing to the "COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz," Trump said.
- After weeks of spiraling conflict, Trump had threatened to wipe out a "whole civilisation" if hostilities continued, but about 90 minutes before his deadline, he announced the ceasefire as a workable basis for negotiations.
- Washington and Tehran offer conflicting assessments; Iran's Supreme National Security Council claimed the U.S. accepted its 10-point plan, while Trump stated the U.S. is discussing a separate 15-point proposal behind closed doors.
- Vice President JD Vance described the agreement as a "fragile truce" on Wednesday, while confusion persists over whether the ceasefire extends to Lebanon, where Israel and Iran remain at odds.
