US and Iran Digitally Sign Peace Deal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz Toll-Free
US Vice President JD Vance announced that the US and Iran have digitally signed a peace agreement aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz toll-free. The deal, expected to be formally signed in Geneva, links sanctions relief to Iran's compliance with commitments, including dismantling its enriched uranium stockpile and allowing verification. While the agreement offers Iran potential reintegration into the global economy, some regional tensions remain, notably Israel's opposition and unresolved issues in Lebanon.
