What Happened
The US and Iran agreed to a provisional two-week ceasefire mediated by Pakistan, ending threats of escalation. Major disagreements remain on Iran's uranium enrichment, Strait of Hormuz control, sanctions, and US military presence. A discrepancy exists between Farsi and English versions of Iran's peace plan. Both nations needed an off-ramp after 39 days of conflict. Sustained engagement involving Israel and Gulf states is essential for long-term resolution.
