Overview
- A two-week truce between the United States and Iran took effect after more than a month of strikes, with the deal reached shortly before a U.S. deadline for major attacks expired.
- Trump told AFP the United States achieved a "total and complete victory" and said Iran's enriched uranium would be "perfectly taken care of" without explaining how.
- Reporting highlights unanswered issues such as how shipping through the Strait of Hormuz will resume and what verification will govern nuclear material.
- Pakistan brokered the pause, and Trump said he believes China helped bring Tehran to talks, with a summit in Beijing on his schedule in May.
- Media coverage questions the claim of a decisive U.S. win, noting Tehran's competing narrative and Trump's refusal to rule out renewed strikes if talks break down.
