Neither side really conceded on the other’s core demands. This is more of a temporary de-escalation pause than a proper ceasefire.

by
  1. Trump decided at the last minute not to strike Iranian power plants and major infrastructure for two weeks.
  2. Iran said it accepts the two-week ceasefire and will coordinate safe passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
  3. No other major terms were agreed upon by either side.
  4. Iran did not accept any U.S. core demands.
  5. Trump did not accept Iran’s full 10-point proposal.
  6. US explicitly stated that this does not mean the war is over.
  7. In reality, this is a very minimal, face-saving pause rather than a real negotiated deal.
  8. Tomorrow we will see how many ships Iran actually allows to pass through the strait.
  9. Most likely Iran will only allow a small symbolic increase (probably 30-60 ships instead of the recent 15) while keeping overall control.
