US and Iran negotiate potential peace deal to end three-month war.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reported progress in negotiations with Iran to end the war that began on February 28, 2026, with a potential deal focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and addressing Iran's nuclear program. Pakistan and Qatar have served as key mediators in the talks, which could extend the current ceasefire by 60 days. Oil prices fell amid optimism about an agreement, though significant gaps remain between the parties.
