Event Summary

The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, mediated by Pakistan, to avert further destruction in their ongoing conflict. As part of the truce, the United States will suspend attacks on Iran, while Iran will temporarily reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil thoroughfare. Donald Trump hailed the deal as a 'total and complete victory' for Washington. Iran has proposed a 10-point plan for a conclusive agreement, which includes demands such as continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of uranium enrichment, lifting of sanctions, US military withdrawal from the Middle East, and the release of frozen Iranian assets. Negotiations are set to begin in Islamabad, Pakistan, to reach a long-term resolution. Israel supported the ceasefire but clarified it does not include Lebanon, where it is engaged in conflict with Hezbollah. The announcement of the Strait of Hormuz reopening caused global oil and gas prices to plunge.
