The United States and Iran are reportedly nearing a comprehensive agreement to end hostilities, with a "framework" ceasefire document potentially being signed this Sunday in Geneva. Both nations have reportedly agreed on the text of this initial understanding, which is expected to be followed by further negotiations.
