US and Iran reportedly close to preliminary truce agreement

The US and Iran are reportedly nearing a preliminary truce agreement, potentially to be signed in Geneva this Sunday, following a period of heightened tensions and military exchanges.

The United States and Iran are reportedly close to signing a preliminary agreement to cease hostilities, with a "framework" document potentially being signed this Sunday in Geneva. Both sides indicated on Friday, June 12, that an agreement could soon be reached, with a high-ranking US official confirming the text has been agreed upon. This diplomatic development follows a period of escalating tensions, during which US President Donald Trump had threatened a "very strong strike" against Iran and announced plans to seize Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure. However, President Trump later stated he canceled these planned military operations. These events occurred amidst continued exchanges of fire, with American forces attacking Iranian facilities and Iran reportedly striking US bases in response.
