United States and Iran Agree to Two-Week Ceasefire Mediated by Pakistan
Late on April 7, 2026, the United States, Iran, and Israel reached a tentative two-week ceasefire agreement mediated by Pakistan. Announced just hours before a U.S. deadline for major escalation, the deal involves the temporary reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping. While the UN Secretary-General welcomed the breakthrough as a step toward regional peace, the agreement remains fragile due to continued hostilities in Lebanon and conflicting reports regarding its implementation by various regional proxies.
