Iran confirms deal struck with US that will lead to reopening of Strait of Hormuz

Iranian and US officials said on Sunday they had agreed on a framework to end their war. The deal will reportedly lead to a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to a US naval blockade in the area. The final agreement will be negotiated during a 60-day period, with Tehran verifying US promises of ending the war and lifting the blockade. The future of Iran’s nuclear programme is also slated for discussion during subsequent negotiations.
