Key Points:
- US President Donald Trump announced that a preliminary deal to end the war with Iran has been signed, with details expected to be published soon, and the Strait of Hormuz set to reopen on Friday.
- The agreement includes a 60-day ceasefire extension during which technical talks on Iran's nuclear program will begin, with sanctions relief contingent on Iran meeting its commitments.
- The deal covers cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, but does not require Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory; Israel retains the right to self-defense and will maintain security zones.
- Iranian officials hailed the agreement as a victory following extensive mediation talks, though Iran expressed continued mistrust of the US and described the deal as a step toward reducing tensions.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that Israel would maintain its military presence as needed and prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, regardless of the deal.
