Update: US, Israel, Iran Agree to Two-Week Ceasefire

NFK Editors - April 8, 2026

On Tuesday night, the US, Israel, and Iran reached a temporary ceasefire agreement. Pakistan helped arrange the deal, which is expected to last for two weeks. During that time, all sides will stop their attacks. Iran has agreed to let ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire.

Pakistan is hoping that the two-week ceasefire will provide enough time for a more permanent peace deal to be reached.
