An interim ceasefire pact has been established between the United States and Iran, aimed at halting months of conflict and reestablishing vital trade routes in the Middle East. President Donald Trump cautioned that military action could be reinstated if Iran breaches the agreement, while Tehran celebrated the easing of sanctions and the release of billions in frozen assets. This 14-point accord prolongs the ceasefire for 60 days, reinstates shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and incorporates international oversight of Iran's uranium reserves. Leaders from the G7 commended this progress, urging an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon amid ongoing regional tensions.
