US President Donald Trump said Washington and Tehran had reached an agreement that includes an Iranian commitment not to obtain nuclear weapons and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He later announced that the agreement had been finalized and ordered the US naval blockade lifted.
The deal gives the Iranian regime a lifeline from the lowest point it has reached and resources to rebuild its capabilities.

Senior US officials are warning that anyone who dares oppose the chosen direction on Iran will pay a personal price.
