US President Donald Trump has announced that a preliminary framework agreement between the United States and Iran has been signed, aiming to end recent hostilities and pave the way for broader negotiations. Vice President JD Vance said the memorandum outlines commitments to regional stability and preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while detailed technical talks will follow. The agreement is expected to extend the ceasefire for 60 days and could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route. However, major issues, including sanctions relief and nuclear oversight, remain subject to future negotiations. (PC: BBC)
