In a significant diplomatic shift, US President Donald Trump has paused plans for a large-scale attack on Iran, announcing a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan. This decision comes just before a White House ultimatum was set to expire. Under the ceasefire, Iran has agreed to a 10-point peace plan that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. The agreement stipulates that Iran will halt its blockade of oil and gas supplies, which is crucial as the strait carries about one-fifth of global shipments. Trump's announcement emphasized that the ceasefire is contingent on Iran's compliance with these terms. Following the announcement, oil prices fell by over 15%, reflecting market reactions to the reduced tensions. High-stakes negotiations are scheduled to commence in Islamabad on Friday, marking a crucial moment in US-Iran relations as both sides seek a more permanent resolution to ongoing conflicts.
