Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The US and Iran are close to signing a framework peace agreement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to President Donald Trump. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who helped broker the talks, said the framework would be completed within 24 hours. However, deep divisions exist in Iran, with regime hardliners and protesters rejecting the emerging deal. Key details and timing remain disputed across all sides, and Trump stated no money would change hands under the memorandum of understanding.
