What Happened
A months-long West Asia conflict paused after US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire following Iran's acceptance of a 10-point proposal. The war began with US-Israel strikes on February 28 that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and 175 civilians in a school strike. Iran retaliated with attacks on Gulf assets, killing six US soldiers in Kuwait. Pakistan brokered the truce, allowing Iranian oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Talks resume April 10 in Islamabad.
