newsApr 7, 20267198

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered all military units to stop firing, Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB said. The statement directed all branches to follow the order as talks advanced and a ceasefire was proposed. The pause followed a U.S. agreement to suspend bombing for two weeks while Iran pledged safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The move reduces immediate risk of regional escalation and tests whether Tehran’s military will enforce a coordinated ceasefire under its new leader.
