US and Iran agree ceasefire

The United States and Iran have reached a Pakistan-brokered agreement to suspend hostilities for fourteen days, providing a diplomatic window to negotiate a permanent resolution.

This de-escalation follows weeks of intense military exchanges and a chilling ultimatum from President Trump regarding the potential destruction of Iranian infrastructure.

Tehran has signaled its commitment to the truce, proposing a ten-point peace plan that includes regional non-aggression and sanctions relief.

While global markets have rallied on the news, the exclusion of Hezbollah from the deal highlights the continued volatility of the broader Middle Eastern conflict.
