Ceasefire Intelligence — FAQ
Is the Iran-Israel ceasefire still active?
A two-week conditional ceasefire was announced on April 7, 2026 at 19:30 UTC, brokered by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir. The window runs until approximately April 21, 2026. All US military strikes are suspended conditional on the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Supreme National Security Council confirmed the pause and Israel confirmed it will abide.
What are the exact terms of the ceasefire?
The ceasefire is strictly conditional on the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran. The United States suspended all military strikes. Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi committed to coordinating maritime passage. Israel agreed to cease operations subject to Iran opening Hormuz and ending all attacks on Israel and regional countries.
Who brokered the Iran-US ceasefire?
The ceasefire was brokered by Pakistan through Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, who conducted intensive back-channel diplomatic intervention with both US and Iranian leadership on April 7, 2026. Pakistan presented Iran's 10-point peace proposal as the substantive framework.
What is Iran's 10-point peace proposal?
Iran submitted a sweeping 10-point peace proposal through Pakistani mediators as the basis for a permanent settlement. The framework is understood to include demands for a permanent ceasefire, lifting of Western sanctions, reconstruction funding, and recognition of Iranian sovereign interests. The full terms are subject to ongoing negotiations during the two-week diplomatic window.
What happens if the ceasefire expires without a deal?
If no permanent agreement is reached by approximately April 21, 2026, the United States has indicated it will resume strikes on Iranian infrastructure — specifically the power plant and bridge targets that were the subject of Trump's "Power Plant Day" ultimatum on April 7. The two-week window is the final diplomatic opportunity before that escalation resumes.
Is the Strait of Hormuz open again?
Following the April 7 ceasefire, Iran committed to coordinating the complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which was blockaded since February 28, 2026 — disrupting approximately 20% of global oil supply. The reopening is being monitored in real time on our Strait of Hormuz Status page.
Is the war completely over?
No. The ceasefire is conditional and temporary — a two-week diplomatic window, not a peace agreement. IDF ground operations in Lebanon, proxy activity by Hezbollah and the Houthis, and the broader regional military posture remain active. IranWarLive will continue tracking all developments until a permanent, verified peace is officially declared by all parties.
