The US and Iran say they have reached an agreement that will take effect on Friday. President Donald Trump said the US is lifting its naval blockade on Iranian ports, and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen after the agreement is signed. The full text has not yet been released.

What comes next: The US and Iran have offered conflicting accounts of the next steps after a signing ceremony on Friday. Iran’s deputy foreign minister said negotiations will begin when the US releases billions in frozen funds, but an American official has rejected the claim.

Lebanon conflict: Israel has yet to comment on the agreement. Israeli forces launched airstrikes in Beirut earlier Sunday before news of the agreement. Trump criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him “a very difficult guy.”
