Trump Claims 'Total Victory' After Two-Week Ceasefire with Iran

President Trump announced a conditional two-week ceasefire with Iran, leading to a nearly 15% drop in oil prices as markets reacted positively.
Iran's foreign minister confirmed the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz under military management during the ceasefire, with peace negotiations set to begin in Islamabad.
While the ceasefire has temporarily halted militia operations, uncertainty remains about the long-term management of the strait and the potential for renewed conflict.
