Various protesters STORYLINE: Protesters in Los Angeles reacted angrily on Sunday to an agreement reached by the US and Iran to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, offering relief to the global economy more than three months since fighting began. "We are not happy to sign any deal with the IRGC because this is not the government of the people of Iran, because there is no free election inside Iran," one protester said. Details of the deal were not immediately available. Key mediator Pakistan said the signing will be Friday in Switzerland. Key issues like Iran's nuclear program are expected to be addressed later. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed a deal had been reached and said he had authorized an end to the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, imposed in retaliation for Iran's grip on the crucial waterway.
