Iran’s Foreign Ministry, however, said the agreement would still allow Tehran to collect ‘maritime service fees’ from ships transiting the strait, while insisting these are not “tolls.”

US Vice President JD Vance to CNBC:

I believe that there are those in Israel who accept the agreement.

We expect that Iran will be represented at the signing ceremony by the speaker of the parliament, the foreign minister and other officials.

We hope that the text of the agreement with Iran will be published this week.

The agreement includes a long-term commitment that will ensure that Iran will never develop or obtain nuclear weapons.

The agreement deprives Iran of the financial resources needed to restore its nuclear program.

CNBC: Despite nearly 3 years of continuous conflict, Israel is on track to outgrow every G7 economy this year.

Unemployment sits at 3.2%, inflation remains below 2%, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange has climbed roughly 20% since January, and the shekel has strengthened about 7% against the dollar.

The momentum is being fueled by a dominant tech sector, surging foreign investment in cybersecurity, expanding defense exports, and a highly skilled workforce, pushing Israel’s performance ahead of the U.S., European Union, and United Kingdom.
