US, Iran seek to finalize 'largely negotiated' deal to end war

AI Summary

The US and Iran are working to finalize a largely negotiated deal to end the Middle East war, including opening the blockaded Strait of Hormuz. The deal's finalization remains pending, with key issues on Iran's nuclear program to be addressed subsequently.

The United States and Iran sought on Sunday to finalize an agreement to formally end the Middle East war after Donald Trump said a proposal that included opening the blockaded Strait of Hormuz was "largely negotiated". However, the US president emphasized that the deal was still "subject to finalization", while the New York Times reported that the two sides would only address thorny issues about Iran's nuclear program after an initial pact was reached.
