The U.S. and Iran are close to signing a temporary 60-day deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, ease some sanctions on Iran, and restart negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. In return, Iran would clear mines from the strait, allow free shipping, and commit to talks on limiting uranium enrichment and giving up highly enriched nuclear material. The agreement is meant to prevent a wider regional war and reduce pressure on global oil markets. During the talks, U.S. forces would remain in the region, and sanctions relief would depend on Iran making verifiable concessions. The draft also includes an understanding to end fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, though Israel has raised concerns about parts of the deal. Trump and regional mediators hope to announce the agreement Sunday, but officials say negotiations are still fragile and could collapse at the last minute. Source: Axios
