US war with Iran enters ceasefire and negotiation phase after naval blockade announcement
The United States and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire following US military strikes on Iran, with Vice President JD Vance leading negotiations in Islamabad that failed to produce a final agreement. Trump subsequently announced a naval blockade of Iran and declared victory, while Iran's Strait of Hormuz closure caused global oil price spikes and economic disruption. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed during the conflict and replaced by his son Mojtaba Khamenei, described as more hard-line.
