A major diplomatic breakthrough has emerged in the West Asia after the United States and Iran reportedly agreed to a 60-day ceasefire, easing fears of a wider regional conflict. The temporary truce follows a high-pressure warning from Donald Trump, who cautioned that continued escalation could push the region toward total collapse. Soon after, negotiations intensified around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes, leading to a ceasefire framework aimed at preventing further military confrontation. As part of the reported understanding, the US is expected to ease military operations in the region, while Iran has indicated a temporary suspension of defensive escalation. WATCH
