Comments: The U.S. and Iran have agreed on a deal to bring their nearly four-month war to an end, with both sides declaring the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Sunday. "Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED," Sharif said in a post on X. Pakistan has served as a mediator between the two countries. "The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland," Sharif said. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that a deal had been reached soon after the prime minister's announcement. In a post on Truth Social, the president said: "The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete." "I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade," Trump wrote. On Friday, Iranian state media reported that a 14-page draft memorandum had been drawn up, outlining terms of a proposed peace deal that would include the U.S. lifting oil sanctions and Iran committing to reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. The deal follows weeks of mixed messaging from both Washington and Tehran over the conflict's trajectory, with a fragile ceasefire in place as diplomatic efforts were made to end the war. The deal was put at risk earlier Sunday after Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah traded blows in Lebanon. Israeli strikes in Beirut prompted condemnation from Trump, who warned Iran and Hezbollah not to strike back. Trump asked both sides not to "blow it." The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route in the Middle East, has effectively been closed since the conflict began in late February. The blockade of the waterway has created severe supply constraints for various goods, including oil, gas and fertilizers, sparking price rises and fueling concerns about a return to stagflation. Inflation has already begun to creep higher in many major economies, with America's annual inflation rate hitting 4.2% in May – its highest level in three years. U.S. Vice President JD Vance, in an interview on Fox News immediately after the deal was struck, said the agreement was "a great thing for the American people." "I know that they suffer from high gas prices, the President has certainly been very concerned about that fact," Vance said. "What we're going to be able to do is drive down the cost of energy, not just now but for the long term." On Thursday, the European Central Bank announced a quarter-point rate hike, raising interest rates for the first time since 2023 as the Iran war continues to blow euro zone inflation off target. The move made the ECB the first major global central bank to raise its key interest rate in response to the energy shock. Market expectations have shifted throughout the war, with broad rate-cut expectations fading and being replaced by higher-for-longer interest-rate environments across economies. The Federal Reserve is now expected to raise interest rates before the end of this year, according to the CME's FedWatch tool.

Comments: And the pattern continues. Euro teams running out of gas and giving up a goal in the late stages of their games
Comments: Asian teams have not lost a game. That was a nice game to watch
Comments: Australia parked the bus in front of the goal last night against Turkey and it worked. Japan is trying to do the same against Netherlands and hope for a counter. They just don't want to lose this game. They figured this is their toughest game of the group stage and of they can get a point from it, they should easily advance.
