With Iran and the United States reaching an agreement to end the war "permanently" on various fronts, experts said the two have now entered a critical step toward a peaceful settlement and the restoration of safety in a vital maritime corridor.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres praised all parties for playing a role in establishing the framework for further negotiations. "This represents a critical step toward the peaceful settlement of the conflict," the UN chief said.
