US-Israel Iran War Live Updates

The US President has outlined specific requirements and stipulations in a recent post on Truth Social.

In a statement attributed to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Foreign Minister Araghchi emphasized that Iran’s Powerful Armed Forces would stand down their defensive operations if attacks on Iran were to cease. He further specified that, under such circumstances, a two-week window for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz could be achieved through coordination with Iran’s armed forces, taking into account the technical constraints involved.

Despite the Iranian and US statements, specifics on the truce’s impact on southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah has been fiercely battling Israeli forces, remain elusive.
This ambiguity has significant implications for Hezbollah, which is already facing mounting pressure from Lebanese critics who claim the group is needlessly dragging the country into conflict for the sake of its Iranian backers.
Hezbollah maintains that its actions are a necessary defense of Lebanon against Israeli aggression, which has persisted for 15 months in defiance of the November 2024 ceasefire agreement.
The upcoming peace negotiations are likely to center on Iran’s support for Hezbollah and other regional entities, as well as the future of southern Lebanon, an area where Israel has openly expressed its intention to establish a “buffer zone” comprising Lebanese border towns.

Dual perspectives are emerging in Iran, with the national television network proclaiming US President Donald Trump’s acceptance of Iran’s 10-point proposal as a resounding triumph for the nation. Meanwhile, the Supreme National Security Council has issued a statement expressing a favorable response and echoing the sentiment of a decisive victory for Iran. Although it’s possible that Iran had already been inclined towards the ceasefire deal prior to Trump’s announcement, the Israeli reaction remains a pending concern.

Contrary to claims that Israel is part of a ceasefire agreement, the Israeli military has confirmed that Iran has carried out additional missile strikes against the country.
The military stated that its defensive systems are actively engaged in intercepting the incoming threat.

In a formal declaration, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council outlined the parameters for a two-week ceasefire and subsequent negotiations, which are set to commence in Islamabad with an air of caution towards the American delegation. The duration of the negotiations can be extended through mutual agreement between the parties involved.

During this period, it is crucial for the nation to remain united and continue celebrating its recent triumphs with unwavering resolve. The ongoing negotiations are a domestic affair, a continuation of the country’s ongoing efforts, and it is essential for all citizens, intellectuals, and political factions to rally behind this process, which is being overseen by the revolutionary leaders and the highest echelons of the system. Any divisive rhetoric must be strictly avoided.

If the enemy’s surrender in the field translates into a decisive political victory during the negotiations, the nation will come together to commemorate this historic achievement. Conversely, if the enemy fails to comply, the Iranian people will stand united in the field until their demands are fully met. The Supreme National Security Council has made it clear that its readiness to respond to any enemy miscalculation remains unwavering, and any transgression will be met with swift and decisive action.

In a recent announcement, Iran’s foreign minister revealed that his country’s Supreme National Security Council has agreed to suspend its defensive actions, provided certain conditions are met. According to the minister, Iran’s military will stand down if attacks against the nation cease.

The pivotal moment in this unfolding drama lies in Trump’s decision to withdraw from the precipice he had created, one that threatened global stability. While the nuances of the situation can be debated, the key takeaway is that Trump’s reversal has alleviated the immediate threat of a catastrophic escalation. The Pakistanis had been working tirelessly to broker a peace between Trump and the Iranians, preventing a devastating conflict that would have ravaged the region. The US had planned to target critical infrastructure, including bridges, railway stations, nuclear facilities, power plants, and ports, all of which are essential to the Iranian people’s daily lives. These targets were not under the control of the IRGC. In response, Iran had vowed to retaliate by striking key installations, including desalination plants. Trump’s decision to pull back has averted a potentially disastrous outcome, one that would have had far-reaching consequences for the entire region.

According to sources close to the White House, CNN has received word that Israel has consented to a ceasefire, a development also corroborated by Israel’s public broadcasting service Kan. However, neither the US nor Israeli governments have formally acknowledged this report.

According to a recent announcement by Mehr News Agency, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has officially endorsed the previously reported two-week ceasefire agreement facilitated by Pakistan.
The council’s statement revealed that the ceasefire accord was secured with the blessing of Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
The council hailed the deal as a significant triumph for Iran, while also indicating that talks for a lasting agreement will commence in Islamabad.
