Less than 24 hours after threatening the end of Iranian civilisation, US President Donald Trump has accepted a two-week ceasefire with the country on the basis of a plan issued by the Islamic Republic.
The 10-point plan, which Trump described as a “workable basis on which to negotiate", outlines a range of conditions including charging ships for use of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of all sanctions on Iran.
The details of the plan have been released in both English and Persian on various channels - and there are some discrepancies between the two.
However, if the broad outline were to be accepted - and with weeks of talks ahead, this is still very uncertain - it would mark a major capitulation from the US, which attacked Iran alongside Israel at the end of February amid much talk of overthrowing the Islamic Republic.
Many in Israel have already been spitting blood over the terms of the plan, with opposition leader Yair Lapid describing it as the biggest "political disaster in all of our history".
In particular, Israel has stated its opposition to the point calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon and an end to Israeli attacks on the country.
Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi, a historian of Iran and lecturer at the University of St Andrews, told Middle East Eye that, based on initial readings, the 10-point plan outstripped the 2015 nuclear deal, which Trump withdrew from unilaterally in 2018, "in almost every dimension".
"That was essentially a nuclear-for-sanctions-relief deal in which Iran accepted strict limits on enrichment and intrusive inspections, in exchange for partial and reversible sanctions relief," he said.
"[The 10-point plan] is not a nuclear deal. It is a comprehensive restructuring of the regional order in Iran's favour."
As the world reacts with a mixture of both relief and scepticism, Middle East Eye takes a look at what is - and isn't - included in Iran's 10-point plan:
