Pakistan’s Prime Minister Sharif announced a preliminary peace agreement between the US and Iran, brokered by Pakistan, aiming to end conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement, also intended to address the war in Lebanon, will be formalized with a non-binding memorandum of understanding in Switzerland this Friday. While both nations confirm reaching an accord, details remain unclear, with both sides stating adherence to specific points will begin Friday. The deal reportedly includes an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations. Separately, Belgium begins its World Cup journey today, following the Netherlands’ 2-2 draw against Japan. A ruling is expected today in the case involving Marius Høiby, son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit. The weather forecast predicts a cloudy start with potential showers, transitioning to sunshine and temperatures between 16-21°C.
