WASHINGTON, D.C. — The United States and Iran have agreed to a temporary two-week ceasefire as negotiations move forward, according to updates reported by CBS News.
President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire ahead of a previously set deadline, stating the agreement is contingent on Iran allowing the “complete, immediate, and safe opening” of the Strait of Hormuz.
According to reporting, Iran presented a 10-point proposal described by Trump as a “workable basis” for negotiations. Talks are expected to be mediated by Pakistan, with discussions scheduled to begin in the coming days.
A White House official also indicated that Israel has agreed to the general framework of the ceasefire, though full details have not been publicly released.
The agreement follows escalating military activity, including reported U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. Iranian officials said civilian casualties occurred in at least one province, though full details have not been independently confirmed.
Officials on all sides have emphasized that the ceasefire is temporary and dependent on continued negotiations. Additional terms and long-term outcomes remain unclear.
The situation remains fluid as diplomatic efforts continue.
