The April 2026 U.S.-Iran ceasefire, which encompassed Israel and was mediated by Pakistan, halted major direct hostilities after the February-March war but proved fragile, with intermittent strikes tied to Hezbollah operations in Lebanon and disputes over the Strait of Hormuz. A June memorandum of understanding set a 60-day path to broader resolution including sanctions relief and nuclear talks, yet Iranian vessel attacks prompted U.S. declarations that the truce had ended in July. As of early August, U.S. officials describe renewed diplomatic engagement while Iranian statements deny active negotiations, leaving outcomes dependent on compliance with de-escalation terms, proxy restraint, and any follow-on agreements before potential escalation windows close.
