Good morning. A significant development has occurred as President Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a deal to end the war between the U.S. and Iran, with an official signing ceremony set for Friday. The agreement includes the immediate cessation of military operations, notably in Lebanon, where Iran-backed Hezbollah is involved. However, Israel, not part of the negotiations, may not cooperate, raising concerns about the deal’s effectiveness. Oil prices dropped 4% following the announcement, and the Strait of Hormuz is set to reopen for mine removal, though oil supply levels won’t immediately return to pre-war conditions. This agreement will be a key topic at the G7 summit in France, where leaders will discuss its implications, including support for Lebanon and Iran’s nuclear program. The summit is crucial for Trump to gain international support for the peace deal.
