Hours after US President #DonaldTrump made an expletive-filled threat to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure, #Tehran hit back, warning that the US president was dragging his country into a ‘living hell’ and risking a wider crisis across the Middle East.

"Your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living HELL for every single family, and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu’s commands. Make no mistake: You won’t gain anything through war crimes," Speaker of the Parliament of Iran Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf tweeted shortly after Trump's abusive-laden threat to Iran.

US President #DonaldTrump pulled back on his threats to launch devastating strikes on #Iran, swerving to deescalate the war less than two hours before the deadline he set for #Tehran to capitulate or face a major escalation.

▪️ Trump said he was holding off on his threatened attacks on Iranian bridges, power plants and other civilian targets as the U.S. and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire that includes the reopening of the #StraitofHormuz.

▪️ Iran's Supreme National Security Council said it has accepted the ceasefire and that it would negotiate with the United States in Islamabad beginning Friday.

▪️ Neither Iran nor the United States said when the ceasefire would begin.

The world teetered on the edge of collapse as President #Trump’s "obliteration" threats and the #WestAsiaConflict sent prices spiraling. #CrudeOil hit $119, aviation fuel jumped 200%, and markets like the Nasdaq plunged into correction territory.

For India, the crisis is hit home: the crude basket passed $115, threatening the fiscal deficit, while an acute #LPG shortage impacted millions. Additionally, a mass exodus of migrant workers from the #Gulf mirrored the panic of 2020.

As a fragile two-week #ceasefire begins with #Tehran’s regime and nuclear goals still intact, the question remains: what did this turmoil achieve?

#US President #DonaldTrump has said the war with #Iran is “very close to being over,” raising cautious hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough even as military tensions, economic pressure, and regional spillovers continue to cloud the outlook.

US Vice President #JDVance earlier said #Washington had put forward what he described as a “grand bargain”, offering Iran economic revival if it commits to not developing nuclear weapons. The dispute over Iran’s nuclear programme remains central to the conflict, with #Tehran continuing to deny that it is pursuing an atomic bomb.
