What to Know About a Possible Deal to End the Iran War
The deal would require Iran to dismantle its nuclear program, allow inspections and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with 408kg of highly enriched uranium at issue.
- On Friday, the United States and Iran signaled that an agreement to end their 105-day war was close, with senior officials expecting to sign an initial deal in the coming days.
- The conflict has disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for oil, while causing rising energy prices worldwide and creating political headaches for the White House.
- Proposed terms include dismantling Iran's nuclear program and removing highly enriched uranium on site, though a U.S. official denied Iran would receive any upfront payment, stating "The Iranians don't get anything upon the signing."
- While Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed a final text was reached, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Israel would not be party to the agreement and would maintain independent military operations.
- President Donald Trump travels to France next week for the G7 summit as negotiations transition to a 60-day period addressing technical aspects of Iran's nuclear program and compliance mechanisms.

Iran spent decades building deterrents that were supposed to keep that from ever being necessary — a ballistic missile arsenal, a ring of regional pro…
Iran deal should finally get America out of the Middle East
America has been trying — and failing — to get out of the Middle East ever since Barack Obama’s first term. Now, thanks to President Trump’s ill-conceived Iran war and the deal that’s poised to settle it, which was announced overnight, Washington will finally get to reduce its footprint in a region that is of secondary importance (at best) for the world’s number-one net energy exporter. That’s the long-term implication of the news that American …
Trump hopes testosterone-fuelled glitz will distract from his failure
The octogenarian birthday boy in the White House is juggling a glitzy cage fight on his South Lawn with resolving the aftermath of a conflict he and the Israelis rashly started.
