Iran ceasefire in focus

Just hours before a U.S. deadline for major strikes on Iran’s civilian infrastructure, Washington and Tehran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan. Under the deal, Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. and Israel will suspend military operations. Both sides will halt attacks for two weeks as negotiations move forward. U.S. President Trump has described the move as a step toward a broader agreement, while Iran insists it is only a temporary pause—not the end of the conflict. What more do we know about this ceasefire? What are the bottom lines for each side? And can this two-week window pave the way for lasting peace, or is it merely a tactical pause before a wider war?
