Pakistan will host talks as Iran’s 10-point proposal guides negotiations for a broader deal, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered military units to stop firing but remain on high alert following a two-week ceasefire agreement with the United States.
- Pakistan mediated the truce proposal, which President Donald Trump accepted, averting his threat that a "whole civilization will die tonight" if Tehran did not come to terms.

- Despite the ceasefire, Khamenei cautioned that this "will not be the end of the war," stating military forces' "hands remain on the trigger" for potential future action by the United States or Israel.
