Donald Trump's United States and Iran appear close to a deal to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that the U.S. and Iran agreed to wording of an agreement aimed at ending their war in the Middle East and that mediators were working with both sides to finalize a deal. Previous declarations of an imminent breakthrough failed to materialize.
The apparent breakthrough in negotiations comes after Iran exchanged fire with the U.S. and Israel over three days this week, threatening to push the region into a full-scale war. U.S. Central Command late Friday said in a social media post that it intercepted several Iranian attack drones that were targeting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
