US and Iran reach deal to end war and reopen Strait of Hormuz

Iran and the US have agreed on a framework deal aimed at ending the fighting on all fronts and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement, mediated by Pakistan, is expected to be signed in Switzerland on Friday. However, important questions remain about freedom of navigation through the strait and the future of Iran’s nuclear programme, as few details of the deal have been released. Since Israel was not involved in the negotiations, it is also unclear whether the agreement will lead to an end to its assault on Lebanon.
