Hi, I'm Kim Vinnell in Whanganui, New Zealand.

It's Wednesday, April 8th.

Today, a last-minute reversal as President Trump agrees to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.

US President Donald Trump has announced he's agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.

That came less than two hours before his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face widespread attacks on civilian infrastructure.

It's also a sharp reversal from the extraordinary threat that he made earlier on Tuesday, writing on Truth Social that quote, "...a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again, if his demands were not met."

It's not clear when the ceasefire will take full effect.

Missile fire continued across Iran, Israel and the Gulf overnight.

And if it does come into force, it may not mean a permanent end to the conflict.

Pakistan, which helped broker the deal, says Iranian and American delegations will come to Islamabad for negotiations on Friday.

But that's not a done deal.

White House correspondent Steve Holland has more.

And as for those negotiations meant to take place in Pakistan on Friday, Steve says those might be up in the air too.

Israel has also agreed to the temporary ceasefire with Iran, although the status of fighting in Lebanon remains unclear.

Pakistan says the deal included an end to fighting there, while Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon will continue.

Iran is also positioning the ceasefire as a victory.
