Reactions to the Iran-US-Israel Two-Week Ceasefire (April 8, 2026)

Overview

On April 7–8, 2026, the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, announced just under two hours before President Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face devastating attacks on its civilian infrastructure. The truce was mediated by Pakistan, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirming the deal on X, stating that “the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY”. The deal came after 40 days of US-Israeli military operations against Iran that began on February 28, killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and targeting nuclear, military and leadership sites.[^1][2][^3][4][^5]

The ceasefire’s terms are themselves disputed between the two sides, revealing the depth of unresolved disagreements. The US framed it as Iran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary bombing pause. Iran, by contrast, declared a strategic victory, claiming the US had accepted its 10-point plan as the basis for negotiations. These competing narratives have driven sharply divergent reactions worldwide.[^2][6][^7]

Iranian Perspective: “Historic Victory”

The Islamic Republic’s Official Position

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council released a triumphant statement, declaring that “Iran has achieved a great victory and forced the United States to accept its 10-point plan”. The Council, acting under the guidance of new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, announced Iran would send delegations to Islamabad for negotiations on April 10. Iranian state media framed the ceasefire as a “historic and crushing defeat” of the US and Israel after 41 days of war.[^6][8][^7]

Iran’s 10-point framework — presented as the basis for the deal — includes demands for a non-aggression guarantee from the US, continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, recognition of Iran’s uranium enrichment program, lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions, cancellation of all UN Security Council resolutions against Iran, withdrawal of US combat forces from the region, full war reparations, and a cessation of the war on all fronts including Lebanon. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed on social media that “if attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations”.[^9][7][^10][11]

Notably, the phrase “acceptance of enrichment” appeared in Iran’s Farsi-language 10-point plan but was absent in English versions shared with international journalists — a discrepancy that underlines the ambiguity pervading the entire agreement.[^12]

Iranian Public Reactions

Celebrations erupted across Tehran following the ceasefire announcement, with citizens waving Iranian flags and cheering in the streets. State media broadcast scenes of jubilation. However, some Iranians on the streets also expressed skepticism about the terms of the deal. For many in the Iranian diaspora and among the secular opposition inside Iran, the ceasefire represented a bitter disappointment, as it appeared to consolidate the Islamic Republic’s survival rather than accelerate regime change.[^13][14][^15][16]

Pro-Iran Regional Factions

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq — an umbrella of Iran-backed militias — announced a two-week suspension of its attacks on “enemy bases” in the region in solidarity with the ceasefire. Hezbollah in Lebanon initially paused its fire on northern Israel and Israeli troops in Lebanon as part of the accord, with three Lebanese sources close to the group confirming this to Reuters. However, the Lebanese army urged displaced families to postpone returning home due to persistent Israeli assaults.[^17][18][^19]

US and Israeli Perspectives

Trump Administration

President Trump announced the ceasefire on Truth Social, writing: “I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double-sided CEASEFIRE!” He claimed US forces had “already met and exceeded all Military objectives” and described Iran’s 10-point plan as a “workable basis on which to negotiate”. However, Trump had previously called a version of the same Iranian proposal “fraudulent,” reflecting the volatile and contradictory messaging that characterized the entire crisis. Trump also emphasized that Iran’s nuclear stockpile “will be perfectly taken care of, or I wouldn’t have settled,” insisting the nuclear issue remains central.[^20][1][^9]

Israel: Official Support, Private Fury

Israel’s official response was carefully calibrated. Netanyahu’s office stated that “Israel supports President Trump’s decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks,” and that “Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile, terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbors and the world”. However, it pointedly insisted the ceasefire “does not include Lebanon,” directly contradicting Pakistan’s announcement that the truce covered Lebanon.[^21][22][^12]

Behind the official statements, Israeli analysts and officials expressed deep frustration. Ahron Bregman, a senior fellow at King’s College London, said “The Israelis are profoundly disappointed with the ceasefire, as none of the original objectives of the war have been met”. He highlighted that the Iranian government remained in power, its ballistic missile program could be quickly reconstituted, and Iran retained 440 kg of enriched uranium at 60% purity — enough for roughly ten bombs. Former Israeli consul general Alon Pinkas argued that Iran had “upset the strategic balance by attacking Arab Gulf nations and, crucially, by shutting the Strait of Hormuz with minimal resistance from China”.[^21]

Analysts also noted a darker irony: Israeli strikes on Iranian universities and civic institutions — key hubs for anti-government dissent — may have inadvertently strengthened the Islamic Republic by eliminating spaces for organized opposition. Trump’s threats to “obliterate Iranian civilization” enabled the Iranian government to project images of national unity and citizen solidarity around vital infrastructure.[^21]

Israeli Opposition: “Political Disaster”

In a rare show of cross-partisan consensus, Israeli opposition figures condemned the ceasefire outcome even more harshly than the government. Yair Lapid, the main opposition leader, called it a “political disaster” and accused Netanyahu of failing to achieve a single war objective: “There has never been a political disaster like this in our entire history. Israel was not even close to the table when decisions were made concerning the core of our national security”. Avigdor Liberman warned the ceasefire gave Iran “an opportunity to regroup,” arguing that any agreement not requiring Iran to renounce uranium enrichment and ballistic missiles would force Israel into “another campaign under more difficult conditions”. Far-right MKs Limor Son Har-Melech and Tzvi Kreuzer both opposed any ceasefire outright, demanding regime change in Tehran as a prerequisite.[^23][24][^25]

US Domestic Political Reactions

American reactions split sharply along partisan lines, reflecting broader tensions over the legality of the war itself.[^26]

Republican Reactions

Many Republicans praised the ceasefire as proof of Trump’s “peace through strength” approach. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) called it “fantastic news” and “a significant initial step toward holding Iran accountable,” while framing it as evidence of strong leadership. Congressional Republicans had largely remained silent during Trump’s most incendiary threats but rallied around the ceasefire announcement as a diplomatic achievement.[^27][28]

Democratic Reactions

Democrats expressed relief at the end of hostilities but were sharply critical. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) described the deal as “a historic victory for Iran,” accusing Trump of ceding control of the Strait of Hormuz to Tehran: “The level of incompetence is both shocking and disheartening”. Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) called for Congress to reconvene to pass a war powers resolution and “remove Trump from office,” arguing the entire conflict was “illegal” and that Trump’s threats constituted war crimes. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also weighed in critically on social media. Democrats in the House pushed Speaker Mike Johnson to reconvene and vote on a war powers resolution to formally end the conflict.[^28][29][^30][27]

International Reactions

United Nations and IAEA

UN Secretary-General António Guterres “welcomes the announcement of a two-week ceasefire,” calling on all parties to fulfill their responsibilities under international law and “respect the ceasefire terms, facilitating a pathway toward enduring and comprehensive peace in the region”. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi welcomed “the return to diplomatic efforts” and stated the agency was “prepared to assist these initiatives through its essential safeguards and verification functions”. The nuclear question remains perhaps the most fraught unresolved issue, given Iran’s retention of enriched uranium stockpiles.[^31]

European Union and European Leaders

European leaders welcomed the ceasefire with palpable relief, while several expressed frustration at the EU’s marginal role throughout the crisis. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote: “I welcome the two-week ceasefire the US and Iran agreed last night. It brings much needed de-escalation”. European Council President António Costa urged all parties to “uphold its terms in order to achieve sustainable peace”. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described the deal as “a step back from the brink after weeks of escalation” that “creates a much-needed chance to tone down threats, stop missiles, restart shipping, and create space for diplomacy”.[^32][33][^34]

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer — notably cautious throughout the conflict to avoid antagonizing Trump — wrote that “we must do everything in our power to support and maintain this ceasefire, transform it into a long-term agreement, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz”. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who had been a vocal critic of the war, welcomed the ceasefire as “positive news” but issued a “stern denunciation” of Trump’s military initiatives. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen captured the ambivalence of many European leaders, writing: “Is the world a better place today than it was yesterday? Certainly. How about 40 days ago? That’s much more uncertain.”[^33][35]

MEP Marc Botenga (The Left, Belgium) was the most pointed EU critic, telling Euronews the EU had made “no diplomatic efforts whatsoever” during a crisis that violated human rights, international law, and European economic interests. He accused the EU of mischaracterizing the conflict by framing Iran as an aggressor rather than a victim, and of failing to condemn what he called “genocidal rhetoric” from Trump.[^36]

Russia and China: Verbal Condemnation, Limited Action

Russia and China condemned the US-Israeli attacks from the start but stopped well short of providing military or material assistance to Iran. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi condemned what he called the “outrageous assassination of a sovereign leader” (Khamenei) and called for an “immediate cessation of military operations”. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov criticized the attacks as violations of international law, warning they could accelerate Iranian nuclear proliferation — the very outcome the attackers claimed to prevent. Critically, Russia and China jointly vetoed a US-backed UN Security Council resolution that would have authorized “all means” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Yet both powers refrained from any deeper involvement, with analysts noting China’s priority of maintaining strategic détente with the US and Russia’s entanglement in Ukraine.[^37][4][^38][39]

Turkey: Active Mediator, Critical Voice

Turkey occupied a unique position throughout the conflict as a NATO ally, a neighbor of Iran, and an active diplomatic actor. President Erdoğan described the US-Israeli attacks from the outset as a “clear infringement of international law” and expressed solidarity with the Iranian people, while also criticizing Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Gulf states as “unacceptable”. Turkey welcomed the ceasefire and pledged to “provide all necessary support to ensure the success of the negotiations to be held in Islamabad”. Ankara had been working as one of the co-mediators alongside Pakistan and Egypt throughout the negotiation process.[^40][41][^42][43][^44]

Pakistan: The Key Mediator

Pakistan emerged as the indispensable diplomatic broker. Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir maintained intensive overnight communications with US Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi in the final hours before the deadline. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed the ceasefire publicly and invited both delegations to Islamabad on April 10 for further negotiations. Iran expressed formal gratitude to Pakistan’s leadership for its mediation efforts. Pakistan is positioning itself as a key guarantor of any longer-term agreement.[^45][46][^47][48][^49][50]

Gulf Arab States: Relief With Reservations

Saudi Arabia welcomed the ceasefire and expressed hope it would “lead to a comprehensive sustainable pacification”. Oman — which had served as a backchannel mediator before the war — welcomed the truce and called for “fundamental solutions” to end the crisis permanently. Egypt framed the ceasefire as “a significant opportunity to facilitate negotiations” and pledged to continue working with Pakistan and Turkey to ensure US-Iran talks address the “legitimate security concerns of Gulf nations”.[^44][51]

However, Gulf state reactions also contained important reservations. UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash stressed that “our thinking does not stop at a ceasefire,” calling for a broader strategy to address Iran’s “nuclear threat, missiles, drones, and the intimidation of maritime straits”. UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed declared the UAE would not be “blackmailed by terrorists,” and the UAE ambassador to the US argued in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the conflict should not end until it delivers a “decisive outcome” addressing the full scope of Iran’s threat. Saudi Arabia had earlier warned that “Saudi Arabia’s patience with Iranian attacks is not unlimited”. GCC states (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain) and Jordan had also issued a joint statement condemning Iranian strikes on Gulf nations as a “flagrant violation of their sovereignty”.[^52][53]

Iraq

Iraq’s Foreign Ministry welcomed the ceasefire and called for “serious and sustainable dialogue” to address the root causes of the conflict and enhance mutual trust. Iraq’s position was complicated throughout the war by Tehran-backed armed groups conducting operations from Iraqi territory. Iraqi Shia communities and pro-Iran political factions celebrated what they framed as Iran’s “victory” over US-Israeli aggression.[^54][55][^11][19]

Iranian Opposition and Diaspora

For Iranians who had hoped the conflict might bring down the Islamic Republic, the ceasefire was deeply disappointing. Exiled opposition leader Reza Pahlavi had urged Iranians to “prepare to resume protests as the Islamic Republic collapses” and described US military action as a “humanitarian intervention”. Maryam Rajavi, leader of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI/MEK), had announced a rival transitional government. Celebratory rallies were held in the Iranian diaspora worldwide during the conflict, but the ceasefire dashed hopes of regime change. Iran International, a diaspora media outlet, reported that civilians inside Iran had sent videos expressing gratitude to Trump and Netanyahu for striking the “sinews of the regime’s repressive machine” — while questioning whether such strikes could be justified given civilian harm.[^56][48][^13]

The Lebanon Dispute: A Ceasefire Already Fracturing

One of the most immediate fault lines in the ceasefire was the question of Lebanon. Pakistan’s Prime Minister stated the ceasefire covered “everywhere, including Lebanon”. Israel explicitly contradicted this, with Netanyahu’s office insisting the truce “does not include Lebanon” and the IDF confirming it was continuing to strike Hezbollah targets. Hezbollah sources told Reuters the group had halted fire on northern Israel as part of the accord, but the Lebanese army urged citizens not to return to their homes due to ongoing Israeli military operations. More than 1,500 people had been killed in Lebanon during the conflict, including 130 children and over 100 women, with over 1.2 million people displaced.[^22][18][^2]

Key Points of Contention: What Was Actually Agreed?

The ceasefire is notable as much for its ambiguities as for what it settled. The competing narratives are summarized below:

Analytical Assessment

The two-week ceasefire halted one of the most dangerous military escalations in the Middle East in decades, but it resolved virtually none of the underlying disputes that caused the conflict. The competing victory narratives — Trump claiming military objectives were “met and exceeded,” Iran claiming the US “capitulated” to its terms — reflect both sides’ domestic political needs rather than a shared understanding of the deal’s contents.[^2][6]

Several structural tensions are likely to shape what happens next:

• The nuclear question remains the most dangerous unresolved issue. Iran retains enriched uranium stockpiles, its enrichment program, and the technical knowledge to reconstitute its missile capabilities. Neither side has credibly addressed how a permanent agreement would handle these issues.[^21]
• Israel’s exclusion from Lebanon risks unraveling the broader truce. Israel’s refusal to extend the ceasefire to Lebanon, combined with ongoing IDF operations there, creates a direct contradiction with the terms Pakistan announced.[^22][12]
• Iran’s 10-point maximalist demands — including withdrawal of all US forces from the region and UN-ratified sanctions relief — are unlikely to be accepted by Washington or its allies, raising serious questions about whether Islamabad talks will produce any durable agreement.[^58][9]
• Gulf state ambivalence: While welcoming the ceasefire, Gulf states have made clear they expect the negotiations to address Iran’s full threat profile — including missiles, drones, and maritime intimidation. A deal that leaves these issues unresolved will not satisfy Riyadh or Abu Dhabi.[^52]

The truce is best understood as a face-saving mechanism that allowed both sides to step back from imminent catastrophe, while deferring the hard bargaining to a later stage. Whether it becomes the foundation for a lasting peace or merely a pause before renewed hostilities depends entirely on what emerges from the Islamabad talks and whether the gap between the two sides’ maximalist opening positions can be bridged.
