As of April 8, 2026, tensions between the US and Iran seem to have eased under Pakistan's mediation. President Donald Trump has agreed to suspend bombings against Iran for two weeks, conditional on Iran keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. Iran is insisting on a permanent ceasefire rather than a temporary one. Iran-US negotiations are set to begin on April 10 in Islamabad, while Israeli strikes on Iranian targets continue, keeping the situation highly volatile.
