The United States and Iran appear close to signing an agreement, though it remains unclear whether the deal will be finalized today.
The United States and Iran are reportedly finalizing an agreement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, though Iranian talk of 'service fees' for passage emerged as a last-minute sticking point. Dutch media from De Telegraaf to NOS carried live updates as the story unfolded.
If the deal is officially signed today, oil markets could calm and the strait will resume full operations, but Israel's furious response and unresolved fee details might still unravel it. The next concrete step is a formal announcement from either Washington or Tehran.
