A two-week ceasefire has been reached between the United States, Iran, and Israel, with talks scheduled to begin Friday in Islamabad. President Donald Trump called the agreement “a big day for world peace,” noting that Iran “wants it to happen” and that the United States will help keep traffic moving through the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump said the suspension of U.S. strikes on Iran would last for two weeks, following requests from Pakistani leaders, and pointed to a 10-point proposal from Iran as a workable basis for negotiations.
While Israel is supporting the temporary pause in U.S. and Iranian hostilities, the country has confirmed it will continue military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. This signals ongoing regional tensions even as the Iran conflict is temporarily halted.
