On April 8th, Iran, the United States and Israel agreed to a temporary, two-week ceasefire in the war that has disrupted the global energy market. U.S. President Donald Trump previously threatened to destroy Iranian “civilization,” but backed off those threats.
 　However, the U.S. and Iran each had their own competing peace plans, and they disagreed on key issues. The U.S. demanded that Iran give up its nuclear program entirely, while Iran insisted on its right to continue developing nuclear material, wanted all U.S. forces withdrawn from the region, and said it would charge ships fees to pass through an important waterway called the Strait of Hormuz.
 　Israel agreed to the U.S. ceasefire with Iran, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on April 8th it doesn’t include the fighting against Hezbollah, a militant group in Lebanon.
 　Pakistan, who helped negotiate the deal, said the ceasefire began immediately on April 8th. But Iran attacked Gulf Arab states and Israel soon after. Peace talks began on April 10th in Islamabad, Pakistan.

　4 月8 日，伊朗與美國、以色列針對他們近期擾亂全球能源市場的戰爭，達成為期兩週的臨時停火協議。美國總統川普也收回了先前要摧毀伊朗「文明」的威脅。
　然而，美伊雙方各持互不相讓的和平方案，且在關鍵議題上存在分歧。美國要求伊朗完全放棄核計畫；伊朗則堅持繼續研發核物質的權利，並要求美國軍隊撤出該地區，同時表示將對經過荷莫茲海峽這一重要水道的船隻徵收費用。
　以色列同意美國與伊朗達成的停火協議，但以色列總理尼坦雅胡4 月8 日表示，該協議不包括他們在黎巴嫩與武裝組織真主黨的征戰。
　協助斡旋此協議的巴基斯坦表示，停火在4 月8 日立即生效。但是，伊朗隨後又對海灣阿拉伯國家和以色列發動攻擊。和平談判4 月10日在巴基斯坦的首都伊斯蘭馬巴德展開。
