Donald Trump said China may have helped bring Iran to ceasefire talks, alongside mediation led by Shehbaz Sharif. A two-week truce was reached just before the US deadline, with Washington calling it a “total victory.” Iran agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and enter formal negotiations in Islamabad. Tehran also presented a 10-point plan demanding recognition of its uranium enrichment programme, lifting of sanctions, US troop withdrawal, and control over Hormuz. The agreement includes Israel’s participation and sets the stage for further diplomatic engagement aimed at a long-term settlement. (PC: X)
