The US and Iran have agreed a framework deal to end the war, which mediator Pakistan says will be signed on Friday in Switzerland.
Donald Trump says as part of the agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened. “Let the oil flow!” he writes in a post on Truth Social – prices have fallen since the announcement.
In Iran, the deputy foreign minister says on state TV that a deal has been reached while the country’s top military command hails it as a victory for Tehran
The full text is yet to be published, but our correspondent says: The deal’s priority is to extend the 8 April ceasefire in time and scope – another 60 days pledging no hostilities while both sides commit to talks.
Pakistan, which announced late on Sunday that the agreement had been made, says “military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon” will end – Israel is yet to comment.
The war began with US and Israeli strikes across Iran on 28 February, prompting Iran to attack Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf.–BBC
