After 40 days of conflict between the US and Iran, both nations accepted a Pakistani-brokered ceasefire on April 11, 2026. The agreement incorporates Iran's 10-point peace proposal, including military guarantees, sanctions lifting, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Ships can now pass safely through the strait. Negotiations will continue in Islamabad. The conflict, initiated by Israel's post-October 7 strategic doctrine with US military support, caused significant global energy disruptions.
