The text of the 14-point interim agreement between the US and Iran to end the war in Iran has been read out by a senior US official to journalists.

Under the agreement, upon signing, there would be an "immediate and permanent" halt of military operations on all fronts for 60 days, including Lebanon.

The two parties also commit to "respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and to refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs."

The Strait of Hormuz, which has been under blockade, would be gradually reopened.

Part of the agreement notes that Iran will "make arrangements using its best efforts" to allow safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for "60 days" only with no charge.
