Trump and Iran say agreement to be signed on Friday
Breakthrough after weeks of precarious talks came hours before the US president was set to head to Europe for the G7 summit.
Where things stand
• Diplomatic breakthrough: The US and Iran say they have reached an agreement that will take effect on Friday. President Donald Trump said the US is lifting its naval blockade on Iranian ports, and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen after the agreement is signed. The full text has not yet been released.
• What comes next: Trump will be in France for the Group of 7 summit, where the war is expected to be in the spotlight. The US and Iran have offered conflicting accounts of the next steps following a signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday after the summit. Iran’s deputy foreign minister said negotiations will begin when the US releases billions in frozen funds, but an American official has rejected the claim.
