Caption: US and Iran Reach Preliminary Deal to End War, Hormuz Strait Set to Reopen. The United States and Iran have reached a preliminary agreement aimed at ending months of conflict, with a formal signing expected in Switzerland on Friday. President Donald Trump announced that the framework deal is complete, while Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who helped mediate the talks, said it includes a permanent halt to military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon. As part of the agreement, the Strait of Hormuz is expected to reopen, ending months of disruption to one of the world's most important energy shipping routes. Trump also said the U.S. would lift its blockade of Iranian ports. The announcement sent oil prices sharply lower and boosted stock markets across Asia. However, major questions remain unresolved, including the future of Iran’s nuclear program, which will be negotiated during a proposed 60-day ceasefire period. World leaders welcomed the breakthrough, calling it a significant step toward reducing tensions in the Middle East.
