The United States and Iran have agreed to a conditional two-week ceasefire, with Tehran permitting safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz if attacks against Iran are halted.
Donald Trump announced that Washington would suspend military operations for two weeks, on the condition that Iran ensures the “complete, immediate and safe” reopening of the key maritime route. The development follows mediation efforts led by Pakistan.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi confirmed that Tehran would also halt its operations if attacks cease. He added that safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz would be permitted during the two-week period, under coordination with Iran’s armed forces.
The agreement marks a significant step toward de-escalation after weeks of rising tensions, with Pakistan inviting both sides to hold talks in Islamabad during the ceasefire period.
