Middle East crisis live: Israel says Iran war ceasefire doesn’t include Lebanon as air strikes continue

Pakistan says it will host talks between US and Iran on Friday as JD Vance says ceasefire is a ‘fragile truce’

US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire with Tehran saying it will reopen strait of Hormuz

What is in Iran’s 10-point ceasefire plan and will the US agree to it?

A genocidal threat, and then the US president, Donald Trump, blinked – without any apparently meaningful concessions from Iran. As in so much concerning the second Trump administration, the two week ceasefire “deal” that will see the strait of Hormuz reopened – if it can be described as such – is maddeningly vague and short on detail, apparently kicking the can on key issues down the road.

Iran’s nuclear issue, Trump said, would be solved “perfectly.” “It was a big day for world peace”, Trump posted on Truth Social. “Iran can start reconstruction” he added. “Big money” could be made. Yada. Yada. Yada.
