US and Iran reportedly close to signing preliminary agreement

The United States and Iran are reportedly nearing a preliminary agreement to cease hostilities, with a "framework" document potentially being signed this Sunday in Geneva, following a period of heightened tensions.

The United States and Iran are reportedly nearing a preliminary agreement to cease hostilities, with a "framework" document potentially being signed this Sunday in Geneva. Both nations indicated on Friday, June 12, that a deal could soon be reached, with a senior American official confirming the text has been agreed upon. This diplomatic development follows a period of heightened tensions, during which US President Donald Trump had threatened a "very strong strike" against Iran and announced intentions to seize Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure. President Trump later stated he had canceled these planned military operations, which came after American forces attacked Iranian facilities and Iran reportedly retaliated against US bases. Further negotiations are anticipated after the initial signing.
