Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman.
President Trump and Iran have announced a temporary ceasefire.
The news came last night just before Trump's deadline to wipe out Iran's, quote, whole civilization.
And Piers D. Parvaz reports from the border of Iran and Turkey.
A two-week ceasefire deal, largely negotiated by Pakistan with help from Egypt and Turkey,
brings to a halt over a month of fighting in Iran, as well as in neighboring Gulf Arab countries.
Iran's foreign minister, Abbas al-Archis, said on X that the deal would include allowing ships to pass through the Strait
of Hormuz in coordination with Iranian armed forces.
Iranian and American officials will meet in Islamabad on Friday to continue negotiations based on Iran's
10-point proposal, which includes continued control of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the right to enrich uranium.

Vice President Vance says that the success of the next talks with Iran will depend on what they do in negotiations.
If the Iranians are willing, in good faith, to work with us, I think we can make an agreement.
If they're going to lie, if they're going to cheat, if they're going to try to prevent.
Even the fragile truths that we've set up from taking place, then they're not going to be happy.
Vance is visiting Hungary to support Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Hungary is holding national elections this weekend.
Polls suggest Orban's governing party may lose seats in parliament.
A kidnapped American journalist has been freed in Iraq.
She was abducted last week and held by a militia that's backed by Iran.
