US and Iran near deal to end war and start nuclear talks, easing shipping restrictions.

The US and Iran are nearing an agreement to end the ongoing war and begin comprehensive nuclear negotiations, including easing shipping restrictions. This deal would involve a 30-day period for discussing lifting Iran's maritime restrictions and the US naval blockade, potentially with talks in Islamabad or Geneva. Failure to reach an agreement could lead to the US reinstating the blockade or military action.
