US President Donald Trump said a new agreement between the United States and Iran could be signed as early as Thursday. Details released by US officials show the draft deal includes a commitment that Iran will never develop a nuclear weapon. The agreement also calls for an immediate end to military operations, including in Lebanon. A $300 billion fund for Iran's reconstruction and economic development is part of the plan. The deal seeks to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for commercial shipping without tolls. Trump warned that military action could resume if the agreement fails. (PC: Reuters)
