U.S. and Iran Agree to Reopen Strait of Hormuz and Restart Nuclear Negotiations

The United States and Iran announced a new agreement to end hostilities. The deal calls for an immediate cease‑fire in the conflict that erupted in February. It also mandates the reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping. Both sides said the move aims to reduce regional tensions and protect global energy flows. However, the agreement does not address Iran’s nuclear program. The nuclear issue remains a major point of contention between Tehran and Washington. Observers note that the unresolved nuclear question could stall future diplomatic progress. The next steps will involve monitoring compliance and potentially resuming formal nuclear talks.
