US and Iran Enter Two-Week Ceasefire Brokered by Pakistan
A Pakistani-mediated two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran took effect on April 7-8, 2026, aimed at halting the escalation of Operation Epic Fury. The agreement involves a temporary pause in direct hostilities and potential negotiations regarding Iranian enriched uranium. While President Trump hailed the 'decisiveness' of the deal, tensions remain high as Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and Israel continues offensive operations against Iranian proxies in Lebanon and Gaza.
