US and Iran reportedly close to signing preliminary ceasefire agreement

The United States and Iran are reportedly close to finalizing a preliminary ceasefire, with a "framework" agreement potentially being signed this Sunday in Geneva. On June 13, US President Donald Trump announced that an accord to end the conflict with Iran was scheduled for signing the following day. He claimed Iran no longer seeks nuclear weapons and that the Strait of Hormuz would open immediately after the agreement. High-ranking American officials had confirmed on June 12 that both sides mutually accepted the document's text. This diplomatic progress follows a period of heightened tensions, including Trump's earlier threats of a "very strong strike" against Iran and subsequent cancellation of planned military actions, which had occurred after reciprocal attacks between US and Iranian forces.
