Trump Pauses War Against Iran for 2 Weeks
President Donald Trump announced on April 7, 2026 that the U.S. will pause military strikes against Iran for two weeks to allow diplomatic talks to proceed. The temporary halt comes after Iran agreed to partially reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route.
Trump called it a “double-sided ceasefire” and said negotiations will continue in Islamabad, with the goal of avoiding further escalation. Analysts say the pause gives both sides a chance to explore a lasting deal, though no permanent agreement has been reached.
