US-Iran War Ceasefire
The US and Iran reached a ceasefire deal on 7 April (US Time), hours after Trump warned that “A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” if Iran failed to make a deal that included reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz.
The ceasefire came six weeks after the West Asia war began with joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Tensions escalated following the killing of 86-year-old Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the military strikes on 28 February.
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
In retaliation, Iran targeted Israeli and US assets across several Gulf countries, causing further disruptions to the waterway and impacting international energy markets as well as global economic stability, disrupting trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
Negotiations between the two nations held in Islamabad last weekend failed, and President Trump announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz days later.
