WASHINGTON/DUBAI/CAIRO/TOKYO – The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, reaching a deal less than two hours before President Donald Trump's deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face the wiping out of "a whole civilization." 
The announcement late Tuesday represented an abrupt turnaround from Trump's extraordinary warning earlier, and came after mediation efforts by Pakistan's military chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, and its prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif. 
Sharif later said in a post on X he had invited Iranian and U.S. delegations to meet in Islamabad on Friday.
