The US has agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran proposed by Pakistan, announced by President Donald Trump. The ceasefire was agreed upon after conversations with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir.

The US President made the announcement on Truth Social, stating that the two-week ceasefire will be a double-sided agreement. Iran's Supreme National Security Council has accepted the ceasefire and will negotiate with the US in Islamabad beginning Friday.

Pakistan Prime Minister Sharif extended an invitation to the delegations of the US and Iran to Islamabad on Friday, April 10, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.

The US has received a 10-point proposal from Iran, which Trump believes is a workable basis on which to negotiate. The two-week ceasefire period will be used to negotiate a larger agreement to potentially end the war.
