He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.<\/div>\n<div>Oil prices fell on Monday to their lowest level since \u2060March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world&#8217;s oil trade.<\/div>\n<div>But on Tuesday the price steadied, reflecting a more cautious stance, with Brent \u200bcrude futures sliding 0.3% to $82.96 a barrel in Asian trading hours.<\/div>\n<div>To be sure, the deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7,000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global \u200benergy markets.<\/div>\n<div>Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote on social media Monday that the interim agreement was an &#8220;important step&#8221; toward stopping the fighting but noted a final deal for a lasting truce &#8220;has yet to take shape.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Vance told CNN that the signed memorandum was a &#8220;very general document.&#8221; Details would be released over the next two days, U.S. officials said.<\/div>\n<div>Vance said it included &#8220;a very significant sanctions relief package&#8221; for Iran. He later told Fox News that Trump may decide to release the agreement before Friday.<\/div>\n<div>U.S. and Iranian officials say it could eventually \u200bdeliver substantial economic benefits to Iran by lifting sanctions, unfreezing foreign assets and setting up a $300 billion reconstruction fund, paid for by neighbouring Gulf states, which host U.S. military bases.<\/div>\n<div>U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said \u200bIran would have to satisfy U.S. demands never to build a nuclear weapon and cut off support for militias like Hezbollah in Lebanon in order to get those benefits.<\/div>\n<div>Iranian officials, who have always denied intending to build a nuclear weapon, say \u200cthey have given \u2060up little by agreeing to resume diplomatic discussions over Iran&#8217;s uranium enrichment programme that were interrupted by the war.<\/div>\n<h2>REBUILDING CONFIDENCE<\/h2>\n<div>While the latest agreement could lift Iran&#8217;s chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, that only restores the prewar status quo, and shippers say traffic will only restart once they are satisfied they can transit safely.<\/div>\n<div>The chief executive of Japan&#8217;s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (9104.T)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span>, a shipping giant with a fleet of more than 900 vessels including tankers, told the Financial Times shipowners would not sail through the Strait of Hormuz until they were confident the U.S.-Iran deal was &#8220;material&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Given the experiences in the last couple of months, I think it\u2019s reasonable to assume that it may take at least a couple of weeks or \u200bif not a month,&#8221; Tamura told the FT before Trump \u200bannounced the deal.<\/div>\n<div>The agreement between Washington and Tehran \u2060being finalised had not changed Tamura&#8217;s view, the FT report said.<\/div>\n<div>Iran has suggested it will retain control with Oman over the strait. The U.S. said the strait will be open toll-free for 60 days and it would expect that provision to be part of a final agreement.<\/div>\n<div>Trump said in a Truth Social post that ships loaded with \u200boil were starting to move out of the strait, &#8220;going along the Southern &#8216;Highway,&#8217; which is totally safe, secure, and pristine&#8221;.<\/div>\n<h2>NETANYAHU &#8216;STOOD FIRM&#8217;<\/h2>\n<div>The fighting between U.S. ally Israel and the Iran-allied \u200bHezbollah militia in Lebanon, which has \u2060uprooted 1.2 million people, remains another key sticking point.<\/div>\n<div>Iran has said the deal requires a full cessation of hostilities there, but Netanyahu said Israel would keep its forces in southern Lebanon and would retain the right to respond to Hezbollah attacks.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Iran wanted us to withdraw from it, but I stood firm,&#8221; he said on Monday at a news conference. Israel has not directly participated in the peace talks with Iran.<\/div>\n<div>A U.S. official said an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, which it invaded \u2060in March after \u200bHezbollah joined the war, was not a condition of the deal.<\/div>\n<div>Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Israeli attacks must stop immediately.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2093\">Asia markets temper Iran deal optimism, BOJ hikes rates<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2091\">US-Iran deal may not bring quick relief for auto shops<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2088\">China embraces Myanmar\u2019s president as former junta chief seeks legitimacy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doubts swirled around the U.S.-Iran interim deal to end the war in the Middle East as shippers said it could take weeks for confidence to return after any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and fundamental questions remained unanswered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2094,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-2095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-middle-east"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
