Ceasefire

Putin's announcement was similar to a 30-hour ceasefire he ordered last year. Each side accused the other of violating it.

Trump insulted the four far Right influencers, saying they support the Islamic Republic achieving nuclear weapons because they have "Low IQs" and are "nutjobs, troublemakers."

The reopening of the Strait, which carries about a fifth of the world's oil consumption, is an important component of the US-Iran ceasefire deal.

Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif's comments came as Islamabad positions itself as a major player in ceasefire talks between the US, Israel, and Iran.

"Iran is not seeking war but will not forfeit its rights and considers all resistance fronts as a unified entity," Khamenei added.

The US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire after weeks of tension. What changed? And is this a real de-escalation or just a temporary pause?

"The negotiations will focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing peaceful relations between Israel and Lebanon," the prime minister said. 

Ending the war prematurely “could embolden the Iranian authorities, making them more repressive and self-assured,” warned Kako Aliyar, a member of a Kurdish Iranian opposition party.

Iran's deputy foreign minister, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said that despite reports to the contrary, the Strait of Hormuz remains open to civilian ships that coordinate with Iranian authorities.
