Recall that U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Iran have reached an agreement on a two-week ceasefire, mediated by Pakistan and on the condition that Tehran ensures the complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump noted that Iran submitted a ten-point proposal that serves as a basis for further negotiations, adding that key issues have already been agreed upon and that the ceasefire should serve to finalize the agreement.
The agreement was reached in the final moments before the deadline set by Washington, temporarily halting the conflict between Iran and the U.S. and Israel that began in late February.
