United States President Donald Trump announces a ceasefire deal with Iran, allowing toll-free shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement, confirmed by Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, is expected to end hostilities between Iran and the United States. Lebanon remains a point of contention in the negotiations, with Israel and Hezbollah continuing their conflict despite calls for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is scheduled to begin in Tehran on July 4, with burial in his hometown of Mashhad on July 9. The burial, postponed due to ongoing conflict, will follow three days of funeral ceremonies in Tehran and a ceremony in Qom on July 7. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
