A fragile ceasefire agreement between the US, Iran, and Israel has been reached, but its success is threatened by ongoing regional strikes. Iran claims victory and highlights its influence over the Strait of Hormuz, yet disagreements over the terms persist. This unstable situation is fueling fluctuations in global oil prices and raising questions about Iran's nuclear program.
Iran accused the US of violating ceasefire terms after closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Hezbollah.

China emphasized its efforts in pushing for a US-Iran ceasefire but stopped short of claiming direct credit. US President Trump suggested China played a role in bringing Iran to the negotiating table. The truce, occurring amid heightened nuclear threats, now focuses on establishing a long-term peace framework.
A US official stated that the 10-point ceasefire plan published by Iran does not match the conditions agreed upon by the White House.

Pakistan has acted as a mediator between the US and Iran to secure a temporary ceasefire and host talks aimed at ending the West Asia conflict. This truce is set to pave the way for negotiations in Islamabad. Pakistan is leveraging its regional standing to contribute to stability.
Iran and the US both claimed victory after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire following over a month of war. However, tensions are rising as Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz, casting doubt on the ceasefire's sustainability. Key issues, such as the fate of Iran's nuclear program, remain unclear.

The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz following 39 days of conflict.
