US and Iran near electronic deal to end Middle East war, reopen Strait of Hormuz

An initial deal to end a war in the Middle East is reportedly set to be signed electronically on Sunday, with mediators Pakistan and Qatar facilitating the process. The agreement aims to extend a ceasefire for 60 days, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and initiate negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program. While U.S. President Donald Trump expressed optimism about the deal and the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has voiced caution, suggesting the timing is uncertain due to perceived hesitation from the other party.
