Iran declared “near-total victory” as a two-week ceasefire with the US took effect, claiming it forced Donald Trump into a truce after prolonging the war beyond multiple American deadlines. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said its objectives were achieved and described the US as seeking a ceasefire. The deal, brokered via Pakistan by Shehbaz Sharif, pauses hostilities for negotiations beginning April 10 in Islamabad. Tehran’s 10-point plan demands sanctions relief, US troop withdrawal, compensation, and control over Hormuz. Iran stressed the ceasefire is temporary and not the end of the war. (PC: X)
