US-Iran deal would lift ‘pressure on both sides’ over energy prices, Strait of Hormuz closure
“At the end of the day, all this really does is take us into a negotiating round while lifting the pressure on both sides when it comes to energy and other items moving through the Strait of Hormuz,” Esper said on NewsNation. A tentative agreement reportedly has been reached between Washington and Tehran to extend by 60 days a fragile ceasefire in the three-month conflict, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and establish a framework for broader talks on Iran’s nuclear program. Negotiators have been working to finalize the terms of the MOU.
