US President Donald Trump said a deal to end the war in Iran could be reached soon. A two-week ceasefire is set to end next week, but Trump believes an extension may not be necessary as Tehran wants a deal. US allies, including France and Britain, are discussing reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route, which has been largely closed since the war started. The conflict has killed thousands and destabilized the Middle East, threatening a major oil shock. Iranian sources say gaps remain to be resolved, including Tehran's nuclear ambitions and international sanctions. A Pakistani source involved in mediating between the US and Iran said backdoor diplomacy is making progress, with a potential memorandum of understanding to be signed soon.
