Iran and the United States have announced a temporary halt to defensive operations. This move has opened the way for a two-week Ceasefire after diplomatic efforts by Pakistan. The development follows ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
The announcement marks an important step toward reducing tensions in the region. Both sides agreed to pause military actions if conditions are maintained. This Ceasefire is being seen as a key opportunity for further dialogue.
On behalf of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi shared an official statement. He expressed gratitude to Pakistan’s leadership for their role in mediation. He specifically thanked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir.
Araghchi praised their “tireless efforts” to help end the conflict in the region. He noted that Pakistan played a constructive role in bringing both sides closer. This diplomatic engagement helped create the conditions needed for the Ceasefire agreement.
The Iranian foreign minister also confirmed a major condition. He said that if attacks against Iran are fully stopped, Iran will halt its defensive operations. This pause will remain in place for two weeks as part of the agreement.
During this period, Iran has also assured safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz. This is a critical global trade route for oil shipments. Iranian authorities stated that coordination with military forces will ensure security, while considering technical limitations.
The development follows recent discussions with the United States. Reports indicate that President Donald Trump acknowledged Iran’s proposed framework for peace talks. The proposal includes a 10-point plan aimed at reducing tensions and moving toward long-term stability.
Analysts say this step signals a major de-escalation. The region has faced rising tensions in recent months. A temporary Ceasefire could help reduce risks of further conflict and allow diplomatic channels to remain active.
Experts also believe this move may impact global markets. Stability in the Strait of Hormuz is crucial for energy supply chains. Any reduction in tensions can positively influence oil prices and trade routes.
