Fragile Ceasefire Reached in Iran

Fragile Ceasefire Reached in Iran

President Donald Trump announced the suspension of military operations against Iran just 90 minutes before a self-imposed deadline to escalate the conflict.

The agreement, brokered by Pakistani intermediaries, includes a conditional reopening of the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping lane.

However, the deal is already under immense strain as Tehran reports ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon and threats to regional infrastructure.

Negotiators from both sides are scheduled to meet in Islamabad this weekend to discuss permanent peace terms.
