"Iran would have 100% used a nuclear weapon, they were on the way; We went in to put out the fire," Trump said on the sidelines of G7 summit in Paris. French President Emmanuel Macron shared first visuals of US President Donald Trump signing the MoU to end Iran war during a dinner at the Palace of Versailles in Paris. “This agreement paves the way for lasting peace and allows the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. It is an important step in the right direction for our compatriots that will soon enable a decrease in energy prices,” Macron wrote on X. What is inside the agreement? The agreement calls for Tehran to, at a minimum, dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and would waive but not permanently end sanctions on the country, the Associated Press reported, citing US officials. The agreement would also open the Strait of Hormuz toll-free for two months and affirm a commitment to Lebanon’s territorial integrity in the face of Israel’s invasion against the Hezbollah militant group. US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: What is inside the peace deal? US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: Much of the agreement would restore the status quo before the war, including ending hostilities, restarting talks between the US and Iran over Tehran's nuclear programme, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial passage for the world's oil and natural gas whose closure created a historic energy crisis. The agreement opens the strait without tolls for two months, but does not preclude fees in the future, according to the drafts from both countries. In return, the US will move to waive, but not eliminate, some wide-ranging sanctions against Iran. The deal also affirms a commitment to Lebanon's territorial integrity in the face of Israel's invasion against the Hezbollah militant group. That is one of the most delicate parts of the agreement because Israel has maintained it will continue to defend itself and to occupy vast swaths of Lebanon. Iran has said Israel must withdraw under the deal, a condition Israel has already rejected. via AP US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: MoU signed. What next? US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed the MoU to end months of conflict in the Middle East. What happens next? Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan and co-mediator Qatar will still host an official signing ceremony on Friday in Switzerland, following which talks are likely to begin. US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: Trump says war risked 'catastrophe' US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday defended the interim deal with Iran at a G7 summit in France, saying a prolonged war in the Middle East could have caused an economic catastrophe. "I didn't want to see economic catastrophe. If you kept this going, that could have happened," Trump told reporters in the lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains. The Republican president said he did not want to be like Herbert Hoover, who was U.S. president in October 1929 when the stock market crashed, triggering what became known as the Great Depression. "All I know is every time we talked about the possibility of peace, the stock market shot up like a rocket ship," Trump said. "Every time we said something negative, like, guess what, we're not going to be able to settle, it would go down very big." via Reuters US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: Trump says Iran was ‘100%’ on its way to use nuclear weapons US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran was all prepared to use nuclear weapons, but the US stopped it.

US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: 11 Iranian vessels pass through Hormuz since MoU finalisation, says Iranian state media US Iran Deal LIVE Updates: Eleven Iranian ships have so far passed through the Hormuz strait, Iran's Press TV reported, citing sources. The report said that 8 vessels sailed through international waters from Iran’s territorial waters, and 3 others entered Iranian waters shortly the naval blockade was lifted and leaders of US and Iran signed the MoU. Iran war LIVE: LNG tanker heads toward Hormuz as US-Iran pact goes into effect Iran war LIVE: A liquefied natural gas tanker that loaded in Qatar is nearing the Strait of Hormuz, Bloomberg reported. This comes hours after US and Iran leaders signed the MoU to end the 3-month-long war in Middle East that upended the energy market. The Mraikh, which picked up a shipment earlier this month, is heading toward the chokepoint after being stuck in the Persian Gulf since February, according to ship-tracking data. The vessel, which is chartered by QatarEnergy, is signaling Pakistan’s Port Qasim as its next location. Qatar is aiming to restore most of its export capacity within two months of Hormuz reopening, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. That will require securing vessels to lift shipments — although no empty LNG tanker has sailed into the Persian Gulf since the conflict began in late February. Iran war LIVE: Oil slips again as US, Iran sign peace deal Iran war LIVE: Oil prices fell in early trading on Thursday after the U.S. and Iran signed an interim agreement that would end the Iran war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and waive U.S. sanctions on Tehran's oil, resolving the largest energy supply disruption in history. Brent crude futures were down 89 cents, or 1.12%, at $78.66 a barrel as of 0005 GMT, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate fell 98 cents, or 1.28%, to $75.81 a barrel. The benchmarks resumed their decline, reversing gains made on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump said he could resume his bombing campaign if Iran's leaders "don't behave". "The sell-off extended as energy markets continued to aggressively price in a faster-than-expected return of Iranian barrels following the recent U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding," IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said in a note. via Reuters Iran
