The United States and Iran have signed an initial agreement, aiming at ending months-long conflict in the Middle East and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

The signing of the memorandum of understanding came during the G7 summit in France, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian later approved the deal in Tehran, as reported by the BBC.

The 14-point MOU between the United States and Iran is a framework agreement designed to de-escalate a three-month conflict. While not a final treaty, it establishes a roadmap for future negotiations and addresses immediate regional stability.

Here are the details of the full document, titled "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran", what has been settled in the framework and what key issues still need to be resolved.

Conflict cessation ‘on all fronts’

According to the peace deal, all parties involved in the conflict should pursue immediate and permanent termination of all military operations on all fronts including Lebanon. In the future, both sides would refrain from using the force.

Respecting territorial integrity

Both nations will respect........
