However, tensions in the region have de-escalated, at least for now, as the United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, reaching a deal less than two hours before US President Donald Trump 's deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The announcement by Trump late on Tuesday represented an abrupt turnaround from his extraordinary warning earlier, and came after mediation efforts by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the military chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir.

Sharif later said in a post on X that he had invited Iranian and US delegations to meet in Islamabad on Friday.

The eleventh-hour deal was contingent on Iran's agreement to pause its blockade of oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said. The waterway typically handles about one-fifth of global oil shipments.

Trump later told the French news agency AFP that it was a "total and complete victory".

"Total and complete victory. 100%. No question about it," Trump said when asked if he was claiming victory with the ceasefire.

Israel supported the decision to suspend strikes on Iran for two weeks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said. The ceasefire does not apply to Lebanon, it added, in an apparent contradiction to comments from Sharif, who had said the agreement included a cessation of Israel's campaign in Lebanon.

Iran's foreign minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, said in a statement that Tehran would cease counterattacks and provide safe passage through the waterway if attacks against it stop.

Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme National Security Council portrayed the deal as a victory over the US, claiming Trump had accepted Iran's conditions for ending hostilities.
