Intl desk: The US and Iran say they have reached an agreement that will end a US blockade of Iranian ports and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. While Vice President JD Vance said the agreement was signed electronically over the weekend, no text has been released and both sides have offered conflicting accounts of what will follow a signing ceremony on Friday.
Donald Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened and the US naval blockade of Iran will end.
Israeli reaction: Israel’s defense minister said its forces are not withdrawing from southern Lebanon, even though Iran has said the agreement includes an end to the conflict there. President Donald Trump was enraged with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for striking Beirut hours before the agreement was announced, a source said.
Next steps: Trump has arrived in Europe ahead of the G7 summit, where the agreement — which has drawn global reaction — will be in the spotlight. Oil prices have fallen to their lowest levels in nearly three months, but recovery from the war’s economic impact could take months.
