President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, stating it is contingent on the complete and immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The ceasefire follows a proposal from Pakistan and aims to provide a window for negotiations towards a long-term peace agreement. Trump noted that the United States has met its military objectives and received a ten-point proposal from Iran, which he considers a workable basis for discussions. Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, accepted the ceasefire, stating that Iran's armed forces would cease operations if US attacks stop. The ceasefire was reportedly approved by Iran's new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, following intervention from China, which urged Iran to ease tensions. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 1,900 deaths reported in Iran and extensive loss of life in Lebanon and Israel. Trump's previous threats have often been followed by extensions of deadlines, illustrating the precarious nature of the situation.
