Iran has announced that it has agreed to a Pakistan-backed proposal for a two-week ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Following the agreement, U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to halt military strikes and bombardments against Iran for a period of two weeks. In a statement, Trump said the decision was made after talks with Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir, noting that Pakistan played a mediating role between Washington and Tehran. The U.S. president emphasized that the ceasefire must be respected by both sides, adding that Washington has received a ten-point proposal from Iran that could serve as a basis for future negotiations. The White House also confirmed that Israel has agreed to a temporary ceasefire in the conflict.
