U.S. and Iran Agree to Two-Week Ceasefire Amidst Tensions Over Strait of Hormuz
The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, temporarily de-escalating tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump announced the decision to hold off on military strikes against Iran, contingent on Iran's agreement to reopen the strategic waterway. This development follows a period of heightened conflict, with the U.S. and Israel launching attacks on Iranian military targets. Iran has responded with strikes on Israel and Saudi Arabia, leading to regional instability. The ceasefire agreement includes negotiations set to begin in Islamabad, with Iran allowing passage through the Strait under its military management. The situation remains tense, with missile alerts continuing in the UAE and Israel.
