After more than a month of conflict, the United States and Iran reached a temporary ceasefire agreement on the evening of 7 April 2026 (early morning of 8 April 2026, Asian time). Both sides agreed to a two-week ceasefire and will use Iran's 10-point proposal as the basis for subsequent negotiations.

US Vice President Vance told reporters at the airport on 8 April 2026, after concluding his visit to Hungary, that he had participated in the negotiations and had seen three different versions of Iran's 10-point proposal. "The first version was probably generated by ChatGPT, submitted to Witkov and Kushner, and immediately rejected," Vance said. "The second version was the result of multiple rounds of consultations between the United States, Pakistan, and Iran, and was relatively reasonable; this is the version the president mentioned on Truth Social. The third version is more extreme and is currently circulating on social media."

On 7 April 2026, Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran's 10-point proposal was considered a "workable basis for negotiations," and that both sides were close to agreeing on almost all major points of contention. The two-week ceasefire period would be used to finalize the details of the agreement. Iran also announced a two-week ceasefire and pledged to conditionally open the Strait of Hormuz.

White House Press Secretary Levitt stated on 8 April 2026 that the United States and Iran will hold their first round of formal talks in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, on 11 April 2026, local time. Iranian media reported on 8 April that the Iranian delegation will be led by Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf.

U.S. officials previously emphasized that there are differences between the version of the proposal publicly released by Iran and the content of private negotiations, and that actual negotiations will be based on a more pragmatic text. Currently, the ceasefire is still in its initial stage, with the right of passage through the Strait of Hormuz and the situation in Lebanon remaining the main points of contention between the two sides. The international community is closely monitoring the progress of subsequent negotiations.
