The US believes it’s close to an agreement with Iran to end the near 10-week war, Axios reported, as China added its voice to global diplomatic pressure to wrap up the conflict.
News of the potential breakthrough came after US President Donald Trump suspended a military initiative to guide stranded ships though the Strait of Hormuz, after a single day of operations resulted in clashes with the Islamic Republic.
