Iran has also confirmed its participation in the ceasefire, stating that it will ensure safe passage for maritime traffic through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz during the two-week period.
However, Iranian authorities made it clear that the agreement does not signal an end to the conflict. In a statement, the Supreme National Security Council warned that its forces remain on high alert and would respond forcefully to any provocation.
The ceasefire provides a narrow window for diplomacy, though tensions remain high and the situation continues to be closely monitored by the international community.
