Trump Signs Iran Agreement Aimed at Ending Middle East Conflict

President Donald Trump signed an agreement with Iran aimed at ending the conflict in the Middle East, a US official told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Tuesday.

The signing comes after months of diplomatic efforts. Few details have been released. Markets are assessing the potential impact on oil supply, defense spending, and regional stability.

Oil prices edged lower in early trading. Traders said the move reflected the possibility of eased sanctions on Iranian crude exports. Defense stocks slipped on expectations of reduced military spending in the region. Gold, a safe haven, held steady.

The agreement's full text has not been made public. The US official confirmed the signing to AFP but did not provide further detail. The next catalyst for markets will be the release of specific terms, particularly regarding oil sanctions and nuclear monitoring.
