An initial agreement to end the war between the United States and Iran calls for Tehran to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and would waive sanctions on the country, immediately allowing Iran to sell its oil freely. That's according to U.S. officials who read the language of the memorandum on ending the war to journalists on Wednesday. The agreement would also open the Strait of Hormuz toll-free for two months and affirm a commitment to Lebanon’s territorial integrity in the face of Israel’s invasion against the Hezbollah militant group. A U.S. official says both the U.S. and Iranian presidents have signed the deal.
Leaders of both the U.S. and Iran have signed a memorandum of agreement on ending the war in Iran. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Wednesday that the deal is taking “immediate effect.” The agreement calls for Tehran to, at a minimum, dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and would waive but not permanently end sanctions on the country. That's according to U.S. officials who read the language of the memorandum on ending the war to journalists after days of secrecy. The agreement would also open the Strait of Hormuz toll-free for two months and affirm a commitment to Lebanon’s territorial integrity in the face of Israel’s invasion against the Hezbollah militant group.

The Trump administration says it’s buying back another energy company’s U.S. offshore wind leases for four more wind projects, as it seeks to discourage the expansion of wind energy in favor of fossil fuels. That brings the total amount spent on these agreements to nearly $2.6 billion. Chicago-based Invenergy has agreed to end its four offshore wind leases that were early in development in exchange for reimbursements of lease fees totaling $765 million. The company had already canceled a wind project off New Jersey’s coast. The others are off the coasts of Maine and California. It will invest in natural gas and geothermal projects instead.
Republican lawmakers in Georgia won’t redraw congressional and state legislative districts for the 2028 elections during a special session called by GOP Gov. Brian Kemp. In a letter to Kemp on Wednesday, Republican House leaders said changes to Georgia’s maps should take place only after a deliberative process providing the public ample opportunity for input. They also noted that legal challenges are still ongoing against some of their current districts. The decision marked a setback for both Kemp and President Donald Trump, who has urged Republican-led states to redraw congressional districts to their advantage

The interim deal between the U.S. and Iran is supposed to usher in a two-month period that would address Tehran’s nuclear program. Preventing Iran from attaining a nuclear bomb is a key reason that President Donald Trump says he launched the war alongside Israel in February. But the tentative agreement leaves little runway to negotiate the long-running sticking point. The previous nuclear pact between Iran and world powers that Trump pulled the U.S. from in his first term took many months to negotiate. There's deep skepticism among Republican and Democratic lawmakers and others that the new deal will have any effect on nuclear talks.
