(Central News Agency, Paris, 14th, comprehensive foreign news report) The United States and Iran announced that they have reached a consensus on the armistice structure. The two countries will hold negotiations within two months to seek to finalize a final agreement. This not only ushered in a key turning point in the situation in the Middle East, but also caused international oil prices to plummet.
The following is a summary of relevant key developments by AFP, Reuters and other media.
US-Israel trends
U.S. President Trump said that the Strait of Hormuz, a major global energy supply channel that has been effectively blocked by Iran for several months, will be reopened after a preliminary agreement is signed on the 19th. , and he has ordered an end to the US blockade of Iranian ports.
Trump posted on social media, "Congratulations everyone... I hereby authorize the restoration of free and toll-free passage through the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate lifting of the U.S. naval blockade."
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said he plans to travel to Switzerland in a few days to attend the signing ceremony of the Iran peace deal, adding that President Trump himself may also attend.
There was no immediate response to the announcement from Israel, which had previously said it was not a party to the proposed Sino-U.S.-Iraq agreement.
Iran trends
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said in a television commentary early on the morning of the 15th local time: "When negotiations aimed at reaching a final agreement begin within 60 days, if an agreement is finally reached, the key issue for us will naturally be the implementation of the relevant provisions."

French President Emmanuel Macron said today that leaders of the Group of Seven Major Industrial Countries (G7) will hold discussions on the 21st to exchange views on issues such as the long-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in the new US-Iran ceasefire agreement just announced.
Macron posted a video on the social platform Instagram and pointed out that at the G7 summit in France, "the goal will be to review the impact of this agreement, operational support for Lebanon, the continued reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and of course finalizing an agreement on Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile activities."
The U.S. and Iran reached a peace agreement, which provides an opportunity to open the Strait of Hormuz, but analysts warn that it may take several weeks to clear the approximately 500 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf.
