AFP reported that Iranian authorities announced today they will guarantee safe passage for two weeks through the critical Strait of Hormuz, and stated that during the ceasefire period, they will hold final peace talks with the United States. The negotiations are scheduled to begin on the 10th in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
