Ceasefire Agreement Announced for Iran War
The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week long ceasefire that will provide the time to negotiate a permanent agreement to end the Iran War. Israel has agreed to observe the two-week ceasefire as well. One condition of the ceasefire is that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic immediately.
President Trump had given Iran an ultimatum – Iran would need to agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all vessel traffic. The ultimatum was to expire on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. (Washington time). If Iran did not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz then a massive bombing campaign was going to take place, striking civilian infrastructure across Iran. Principal targets would be bridges and power stations.
The ceasefire went into effect on Tuesday evening just an hour before the time was to expire on Iran. President Trump announced the ceasefire by posting the announcement on a White House memo. (see below)
