Donald Trump announces a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, if shipping is allowed to move through the Strait of Hormuz

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran will agree to the end in fighting “if attacks against Iran are halted”. Here’s what else Iran says is in the 10-point ceasefire plan – including compensation

Israel says it supports suspending strikes on Iran, but the two-week ceasefire “does not include Lebanon”. Pakistan’s prime minister says it does

The ceasefire came just over an hour before Trump’s 20:00 EDT (01:00 BST) deadline for Iran to make a deal or else a “a whole civilisation will die”

Pakistan, which has been acting as a mediator, has invited both sides for talks in Islamabad on Friday

Iran is claiming a big victory, our Persian correspondent writes – but no matter what it says, it is in a very weak position

Oil prices have fallen sharply since the ceasefire announcement, now trading well under $100 a barrel

Meanwhile, UK PM Keir Starmer is travelling to the Gulf and says the UK will “do all we can to support and sustain this ceasefire”
