The U.S. and Iran said they reached an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, halting a war that killed thousands of people and setting the stage for 60 days of negotiations on the fate of the country’s nuclear program. 
Officials from the two countries will meet in Switzerland on June 19 to formally sign the agreement, a decision that suggests aspects of the deal may still remain unresolved. 
Indeed, no text has yet been released by either side, leaving the biggest sticking points for the next stage of talks. 
But Trump on Saturday had promised an agreement would be signed on Sunday — his 80th birthday — and he had pushed hard for it to go ahead.
