TEHRAN: Iran and the United States reached an agreement to end the war that has plunged the world into an energy crisis. The interim peace agreement was signed digitally on Monday. The official signing ceremony will take place in Switzerland next week. Either U.S. President Trump or Vice President J.D. Vance will participate directly.

US naval blockade of Iran will be lifted. Israel ended its aggression in Lebanon. Iran has confirmed that it will immediately allow all commercial ships to pass through Hormuz if the agreement is signed. Iran will cooperate with Oman and control traffic in Hormuz. The naval mine will be removed within 30 days, and the traffic in Hormuz will be restored. The issues raised, including Iran's nuclear program and economic sanctions on Iran, must be discussed and resolved within 60 days. Thus, the West will reach a final peace agreement and completely end the war.

``Hormuz will open on Friday. Ordered to lift naval blockade on Iran. `` - Donald Trump, President of the United States.

Don't repeat the attack on Lebanon. The U.S. is responsible for implementing the agreement- Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister, Iran

Iran pledged not to build or acquire nuclear weapons. There will be no uranium enrichment or proliferation of nuclear facilities. The US may allow Iran to dilute its enriched uranium stockpile within its borders.

Israel will not withdraw from the territories it captured in southern Lebanon. Israel is not directly a party to the agreement. Therefore, the far-right ministers are of the opinion that it does not have to comply with the conditions.

Indian LNG tanker safely crossed the Strait of Hormuz before it was officially opened. 'Disha', managed by a consortium led by the Shipping Corporation of India, left Ras Laffan in Qatar on Saturday with 62,370 tonnes of LNG. It crossed the Strait of Hormuz after the agreement was announced early Monday. It will reach Gujarat on Thursday.
