00:00A peace deal between the United States and Iran may be closer than ever.
00:04President Donald Trump says an agreement could be signed as soon as this weekend.
00:08Trump says the deal could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:12That would help restore one of the world's most important oil shipping routes.
00:17Iran says much of the agreement has been finalized.
00:20However, Tehran says a final decision has not yet been approved.
00:23The three-month conflict has killed thousands and disrupted global energy markets.
00:29Investors reacted positively, sending stocks higher and oil prices lower.
00:33But tensions remain high after fresh military incidents near the Strait of Hormuz.
00:39The proposed agreement would prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
00:43In return, Tehran is seeking sanctions relief and access to frozen assets.
00:48The coming days could determine whether diplomacy succeeds or the conflict continues.
