Iran-US Ceasefire

After using heavy weapons against each other, Iran and the United States agreed on a temporary ceasefire for two weeks. The conflict began on February 28 when the United States and Israel attacked Iran, leading to the death of their supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Later, his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was declared the Iranian supreme leader.

Iran had also blocked the Strait of Hormuz, leading to global oil disruptions, as the region is an integral one for transportation. About 20 per cent of global oil imports happen through this passage.

The ceasefire happened hours after the United States attacked Kharg Island. However, the two nations have agreed to it on a temporary basis as of now, i.e., for two weeks.
