A ceasefire deal was agreed overnight between The US, Iran and Israel.
A former midlands Defence Force member says the US isn't achieving its initial goals in their war with Iran.
A ceasefire deal between Iran and the US and Israel was struck overnight, after US President Donald Trump warned a "whole civilisation" would die if Tehran did not agree to reopen the Strait by 1am this morning.
The crucial Strait of Hormuz is due to reopen for two weeks.
Iran's security council said it had submitted a 10-point plan to the US via Pakistan, but insisted that did not mean the war was over.
Portarlington's Cathal Berry says Iran is winning the war:
