Trump seals Iran deal, kicks off 60-day sprint toward a final pact

President Trump signs a 14-point agreement to end the Iran war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and lift sanctions, triggering a 60-day window of talks in the Swiss Alps to hammer out a broader final pact. Iran claims victory and critics say the terms favor Tehran, while Trump argues the deal is necessary to avert global economic catastrophe. The accord extends a ceasefire and covers shipping and asset restoration, but major issues like Iran's ballistic missiles and the exact sanctions relief are deferred to the final agreement; U.S. officials tout security gains, CENTCOM says maritime traffic is free, and a proposed $300 billion redevelopment fund is discussed but not guaranteed.
