US-Iran peace deal

US President Trump confirmed the deal and authorised an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports. But it may take months for oil prices to stabilise after the disruptions from the war caused them to surge, pushing costs up gasoline and many other products.

Details of the deal were not immediately released and Iran signalled implementation would not start until the signing, which key mediator Pakistan said would occur Friday in Switzerland. It could provide a way to end a war that killed thousands across the Middle East, including the top leaders of Iran’s theocracy, and sparked a historic energy crisis.
