Iran comes back to table and agrees 'roadmap to final peace deal' with US after storming out

Iran's Foreign Minister hailed "major progress" this morning after his country came back to the negotiating table to agree a "roadmap to a final peace deal" with the US within 60 days.

The Iranians had earlier stormed out of talks after Donald Trump threatened to "blow the s**t out of them".

But Pakistani and Qatari mediators appear to have coaxed them back to try and secure a permanent end to the war.

Under the roadmap, the US and Iran have agreed to create a "de-confliction cell" with the Lebanese Government to ensure the fighting stops in Lebanon.

Israel and Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah had kept exchanging fire despite Donald Trump's memorandum of understanding.

As a result, Mr Trump told Iran to tell the group to stop - or risk being "hit very hard again".

The US and Iran will also set up a "communication line" to "avoid incidents and miscommunication" in the Strait of Hormuz under Monday morning's roadmap.

Tehran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, also claimed that frozen assets had been released, and the "major reconstruction and development plan" had been launched.

But the Pakistan-Qatar joint statement - which outlines the communication line and "de-confliction cell" - does not mention any unfreezing of Iranian assets.
