US-Iran Deal "Largely Negotiated" to End Middle East Crisis
US President Donald Trump announces "largely negotiated" agreement with Iran to be finalized soon, ending 85 days of Middle East crisis following US-Israel attack on February 28 that killed thousands and displaced more. The deal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with regional countries including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and UAE mediating the talks. Axios reports the agreement likely involves 60-day cease-fire extension, Iran operating freely without tolls, uranium enrichment negotiations, US sanction waiver, and removal of Iranian port blockade. Trump called the negotiations "very good" and had a "very well" conversation with Israeli PM Netanyahu. Pakistan's PM described the talks as "very useful and productive" and hopes to host next round "very soon." Iranian foreign ministry notes US-Iran positions converging though key agreements not yet reached. This deal could stabilize global oil shipping routes and prevent wider Middle East conflict, though final details remain unconfirmed.
