Iran and the United States have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, with negotiations set to begin in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Friday. The talks are based on Iran's 10-point proposal, which includes control over the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of all sanctions. This agreement follows a partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran, which disrupted global trade after attacks by the US and Israel. The US President stated that the truce is contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil supply. The US believes Iran's proposal is a workable basis for negotiation and that a final agreement can be reached within the two-week period.
