US and Iran Reach 14-Day Ceasefire in Operation Epic Fury
On April 7-8, 2026, the United States, Israel, and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire following 38 days of intense conflict known as Operation Epic Fury. Brokered by Pakistan, the deal includes Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary halt to US-Israeli airstrikes. US President Donald Trump characterized the deal as a 'workable basis' for long-term peace, though the situation remains fragile with no permanent resolution reached and Iranian forces remaining on high alert.
