Iran Reopens Strait of Hormuz in 2-Week US Ceasefire Deal

Iran has agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz following a temporary ceasefire with the United States. The deal was arranged by Pakistani mediators. US President Donald Trump announced a two-week pause in the American bombing campaign in Iran. He described it as a "double-sided ceasefire" requested by Pakistan. The move aims to create space for new diplomacy. Formal negotiations for a larger peace deal are set to begin in Islamabad this Friday. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global oil shipments. Its closure had raised fears of major market disruption and regional conflict.
