US and Iran Prepare for Deal Signing with Both Claiming Victory

The interim pact would extend a ceasefire by 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz as negotiators seek a final nuclear deal.

  • Negotiators will convene in Switzerland on Friday to begin drafting a final peace deal, though Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian noted a lasting truce "has yet to take shape.
