What are the terms of the Iran-US ceasefire?

The ceasefire announced April 7, 2026 suspended all US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Iran committed to coordinating Hormuz passage. The US imposed a parallel naval blockade on Iranian ports on April 13. Iran re-closed the Strait. The ceasefire was extended indefinitely on April 21. Iran subsequently submitted a 14-point peace proposal — three-stage architecture including a 30-day end-of-war framework, 15-year nuclear enrichment freeze, and regional security architecture. Trump rejected the proposal on Israel's Kan broadcaster ('studied it, not acceptable') but kept diplomatic channels open. Key unresolved issues: enriched uranium stockpile, Hormuz sovereignty, and nuclear program limits.

What is Iran's 14-point peace proposal?

Iran submitted a 14-point peace proposal through Pakistani mediators in early May 2026 as the basis for a permanent settlement. The three-stage architecture includes: Phase 1, a 30-day end-of-war framework with international reference body. Phase 2, a 15-year complete uranium enrichment freeze, then resumption only at 3.6% civilian-grade with zero-stockpiling principle, willingness to export or dilute existing HEU stockpile, and an Iran red line refusing to dismantle infrastructure. Phase 3, a regional security architecture with Chinese and Russian guarantor roles. Iran also dropped its earlier demand for full US withdrawal from the region. Trump rejected the proposal on Israel's Kan broadcaster but kept channels open.

Is the Iran-Israel ceasefire still active?

The Iran-US ceasefire is formally in effect as of May 5, 2026 (Day 67), but under sustained attack. Pakistan brokered the original two-week ceasefire on April 7, 2026. Trump extended it indefinitely on April 21. The May 4 launch of Project Freedom escort operations triggered kinetic exchanges in the Strait of Hormuz; Trump has stated the ceasefire is "not officially broken" and rejected Pentagon proposals to formally resume strikes. The US naval blockade of Iranian ports continues. The Israel-Lebanon ceasefire (April 17) remains formally in effect but the cumulative Lebanese toll has reached 2,679+ killed amid ongoing IDF strikes.

What are the exact terms of the ceasefire?

The April 7 ceasefire suspended US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Iran committed to Hormuz coordination. In practice: Iran re-closed Hormuz after the US imposed a parallel naval blockade of Iranian ports on April 13. Iran subsequently submitted a 14-point peace proposal in early May with a three-stage architecture (30-day end-of-war framework, 15-year nuclear enrichment freeze, regional security architecture). Trump rejected the proposal on Israel's Kan broadcaster but kept channels open. Key remaining sticking points are uranium enrichment limits, Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, and Hormuz sovereignty. No final deal has been agreed.

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?

Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely on April 21, removing the hard expiry. As escalation has intensified through May, Trump's rhetoric has sharpened — telling Fox News on May 4 that Iran would be "blown off the face of the Earth" if US vessels are attacked, while simultaneously rejecting Pentagon proposals to formally resume strikes (per Irish Times). The US blockade continues as the primary economic pressure mechanism. Iran's IRGC has responded with attacks on commercial shipping and UAE infrastructure.

Is the Strait of Hormuz open again?

As of May 5, 2026 (Day 67), the Strait of Hormuz is contested and not open to normal commercial traffic. The US launched Project Freedom on May 4 — guided-missile destroyers escorting commercial vessels through the strait. CENTCOM destroyed 7 Iranian fast-attack craft. Maersk's Alliance Fairfax was the first publicly named commercial transit under US escort. The IRGC enforces its own closure citing Project Freedom as a ceasefire violation.

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.
