  • The United States and Iran announced a preliminary peace accord to end their military conflict and lift the naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
  • The accord is an emergency MoU that serves as a 60-day de-escalation mechanism and not a final peace treaty.
  • It provides for an immediate ceasefire, toll-free international commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and immediate mine-removal operations.
  • The agreement provides for the phased release of 24 billion US dollars of frozen Iranian assets during the 60-day negotiation period.
  • The accord is expected to improve global energy security, lower oil prices, and ensure safer passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for India's oil and gas imports.
