US-Israel-Iran war LIVE Updates: Iran warns of response to ‘slightest error’; talks set for April 10 in Islamabad

A sudden diplomatic opening emerged early Wednesday after weeks of military escalation in West Asia, with US President Donald Trump announcing a two-week pause in attacks on Iran and Tehran responding with its own conditional halt to military operations. The opening of the Strait of Hormuz has been placed at the centre of the arrangement, even as both sides continue to frame the move as a position of strength rather than retreat.

The pause, however, is not being presented as peace. Fresh Israeli strikes, regional alerts and competing claims of victory suggest the situation remains fragile despite the ceasefire window.
