US and Iran prepare to sign interim agreement to de-escalate conflict

The United States and Iran are reportedly poised to sign an interim peace deal in Switzerland, aiming to resolve their ongoing conflict and facilitate the reopening of the crucial Strait of Hormuz. This agreement is expected to initiate a 60-day negotiation period for a comprehensive settlement, which will include discussions on Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of international sanctions. However, Iran's demand for Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon introduces additional complexity to these diplomatic efforts.
