What we know about the US-Iran ceasefire deal | ABC NEWS

There's been a breakthrough ceasefire in the Middle East. The US president was threatening, in his words, to wipe out an entire civilisation if he didn't get his way, and at the 11th hour, a deal was struck.
Less than two hours before his deadline, Donald Trump declared a so-called 'double-sided ceasefire' had been sealed.
The agreement means the US has now suspended it's bombing campaign of Iran for the next two weeks.
In response, Iran says it will case its operations for the same period and allow safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
