U.S. and Iran agree to 2-week ceasefire

Iranians react after a ceasefire announcement at the Enqelab square, in Tehran, on April 8 2026.

As part of the agreement, set to take effect immediately, Trump said the U.S. and Israel would suspend bombing Iran for two weeks, subject to Iran following through on its commitment to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for safe passage during the ceasefire period.
