Discussions between Washington and Tehran are planned for Friday Both Tehran and Washington announced on Tuesday evening that they had agreed on a two-week ceasefire, just an hour before the expiration of the ultimatum set by Donald Trump, who threatened to destroy and eradicate “an entire civilization” if Iran did not unblock the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has presented a ten-point plan to the United States to end the war in the Middle East, including “the principle of non-aggression, the continuation of Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, the acceptance of uranium enrichment, the lifting of all primary sanctions, and the lifting of all secondary sanctions,” according to the Iranian state television and Mehr news agency. Discussions between Tehran and Washington are set to take place from Friday in Islamabad, Pakistan, with Iran agreeing to participate while specifying that “this does not mean the end of the war.”
