Didn't check the news over the long weekend? The #Weekendbrief is here to catch you up!🧵 1/Iran and US Agree to Another Deal to End War On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced a peace deal with Iran, authorising the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and ending the US naval blockade of Iranian ports. As the key mediator, Pakistan also confirmed the agreement and emphasised that military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, would cease. Israel has not yet commented. The war, which began on 28 February 2026, resulted in over 7,000 deaths in Iran and Lebanon, effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz and causing global energy prices to spike. Pakistan's Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, has announced an official signing ceremony for Friday 19 June 2026 in Switzerland. Mediators will facilitate 'pre-implementation discussions' this week to lay the foundation for technical talks. Source: BBC
