US and Iran Agree to a Two-Week Ceasefire Brokered by Pakistan
- The two-week ceasefire halted 40 days of US-Israeli attacks on Iran that began on 28 February; the US agreed to halt its strikes for an initial two weeks, saying all of its military objectives had been 'met'[1]
- Iran agreed to the 'complete, immediate and safe opening' of the Strait of Hormuz, the route for about a fifth of the world's oil and gas, and Trump called Iran's 10-point proposal a 'workable basis on which to negotiate'[1]
- Pakistan's prime minister Shehbaz Sharif brokered and announced the truce; Israel said it would halt its attacks on Iran[1]
- Whether it covered Lebanon was disputed: Pakistan said it did, Israel said it did not, and Iran, the UAE and Kuwait reported attacks within hours[1][2]
- Talks were set for Islamabad that Friday; on 21 April Trump extended the ceasefire as those talks fell apart[1][3]
