- Trump issued genocidal threats against Iran on social media, marking the day's start.
- Trump announced a 14‑day ceasefire on Iran’s terms ten hours later.
- Trump said Iran agreed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open during the two‑week pause.
- Trump said negotiations will proceed over the ceasefire based on Iran’s 10‑point plan, which he called “workable”.
- Iran’s 10‑point plan calls for U.S. non‑aggression guarantees, continuation of Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, and acceptance of Iran’s uranium enrichment.
Why it matters: The ceasefire gives Iran a diplomatic win—securing Hormuz control and a green light for uranium enrichment—while the U.S. must pledge non‑aggression, reshaping regional security dynamics and affecting global oil flow, and indicates a rapid policy reversal that alters negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.
