Iran and US agree deal to end war as Trump says Strait of Hormuz will be reopened

 The US and Iran have agreed a deal to end the war, which mediator Pakistan says will be signed on Friday in Switzerland

  • Donald Trump says as part of the agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened. "Let the oil flow!" he writes in a post on Truth Social - prices have fallen since the announcement

  • In Iran, the deputy foreign minister says on state TV that a deal has been reached while the country's top military command hails it as a victory for Tehran 

  • The full text is yet to be published, but our correspondent says: The deal's priority is to extend the 8 April ceasefire in time and scope - another 60 days pledging no hostilities while both sides commit to talks

  • Pakistan, which announced late on Sunday that the agreement had been made, says "military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon" will end - Israel is yet to comment

  • The war began with US and Israeli strikes across Iran on 28 February, prompting Iran to attack Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf.
