US and Iran reach framework peace deal to end war | First Thing

The US and Iran have announced a framework peace deal to end their 15-week conflict, with an expected 60-day period of technical talks addressing Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief. The deal aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and faces opposition from Iranian hardliners who argue it does not guarantee sanctions removal or control of the strait. Israel’s defense minister has stated its forces will remain in security zones indefinitely.
