Iran-US-Israel War News Today Live Updates: In a dramatic eleventh-hour reversal, US President Donald Trump has suspended plans for a “devastating” wave of strikes against Iranian civilian infrastructure, opting instead for a two-week ceasefire aimed at de-escalating a war that has threatened to plunge the Middle East into total chaos.
The breakthrough, brokered in large part by Pakistan, comes less than two hours before a final ultimatum set by the White House was due to expire. Under the terms of the temporary truce, Tehran has agreed to a 10-point peace plan and—crucially—the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most vital oil artery. Negotiations between Washington and Tehran are set to begin Friday in Islamabad.

THE CLAIM
A list posted by an Iranian consulate in India
The Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Hyderabad on Wednesday published what it described as Iran’s 10-point proposal — and said the United States had accepted these terms as a “workable” basis for ending the current Iran-US-Israel confrontation. The post appeared on the consulate’s official X handle, @IraninHyderabad.
WHY IT MATTERS
A diplomatic mission framing maximalist asks as agreed
The list goes considerably further than anything Washington has publicly endorsed. It is being read in Tehran’s favour as confirmation that the US has conceded core Iranian demands on enrichment, sanctions, compensation and troop withdrawal.
WASHINGTON’S WORDS
Trump endorsed a “framework”, not the terms
In a Truth Social post, US President Donald Trump said the United States had received a 10-point proposal from Iran and believed it to be a workable basis on which to negotiate. He also announced a two-week double-sided ceasefire, contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
“We received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.”
— Donald Trump, US President, Truth Social
WHAT IS NOT CONFIRMED
No US commitment on the individual demands
No White House or State Department readout has confirmed American agreement on enrichment rights, secondary sanctions relief, compensation, troop withdrawal, or a halt to operations involving Hezbollah.

Key developments this morning:
- The ceasefire: Both the US and Iran’s Supreme National Security Council have accepted a 14-day pause in offensive operations. Israel and Hezbollah are also reportedly included in the truce.
- Strait of Hormuz: Iran has agreed to allow passage through the waterway under its military management, with a proposal for Iran and Oman to collect transit fees to fund reconstruction.
- Ongoing volatility: Despite the diplomatic breakthrough, the situation on the ground remains “chaotic.” Missile alerts were triggered across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel early Wednesday, with a gas facility in Abu Dhabi reportedly ablaze following Iranian fire.
- The human toll: The conflict, which began in February, has already claimed nearly 2,000 lives in Iran and over 1,500 in Lebanon.
