The deal centres on Iran easing pressure around the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a pause in hostilities.
US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, claimed Iran "begged" for a ceasefire deal, while Tehran issued its own 10-point plan including demands for "compensation" over "reconstruction costs".
While the agreement has raised hopes of de-escalation and helped ease oil prices, fighting in other parts of the region, including Lebanon, is not included. The situation remains fragile, with key details still to be tested on both sides.
