Iran says draft deal with US would reopen Hormuz shipping, end naval blockade

Iran's state TV says it has obtained a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding with the US on ending their conflict.

Iran war enters its third week as 2500 more US Marines are being sent to the region

The US-Israel war with Iran entered its third week on Saturday as a missile struck a helipad inside the US Embassy compound in Baghdad and debris from an intercepted Iranian drone hit an oil facility in the United Arab Emirates, further increasing global anxiety about oil supplies.
