The United States and Iran remotely signed a 14-point agreement that would put an end to the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Negotiators are in Qatar for indirect talks and ship traffic has risen in the Strait of Hormuz, even as Tehran and Washington remain far apart on key issues. Here’s what to know.

Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei says his nation have been treated unfairly by the United States during the World Cup

Iran captain Mehdi Taremi has called the 2026 World Cup a "disaster" and has pleaded with FIFA and president Gianni Infantino to intervene due to the treatment he and the Iran squad have suffered from the United States before and during the tournament.

The deal, announced on June 15, extends the existing US-Iran ceasefire for 60 days, with the goal of reaching a permanent end to the war in upcoming talks.

Iran then turned the moment into history, taking the lead through Hamid Estili before Mehdi Mahdavikia raced through to make it 2-0 in the second half. The USA did pull one back through Brian McBride late on, but Iran held on to win 2-1. It was their first ever World Cup victory, and it sealed the Americans’ exit from the tournament.
