Tehran: Amidst the news of peace agreement with America, cargo ships have started reaching the coast of Iran. These include a total of five ships including three oil tankers. US Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed that the US and Iran have digitally signed a peace agreement. This agreement has been kept extremely confidential. Both the countries will officially sign it face to face in Geneva on Friday. However, Iran says that this is not a final peace agreement. There is no complete consensus yet on issues like opening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s uranium reserves, nuclear rules and ways to remove sanctions.

Opposition attacks on death of Indian sailors
Congress has targeted the government over the killing of three Indian sailors in the American attack. Congress said that India should have demanded an unconditional apology from America. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi criticized and said that ‘Modi, who has surrendered’, is once again silent. Leaders like Shashi Tharoor also alleged that External Affairs Minister S. The statement given by America after the phone conversation between Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was not an apology but a warning. America’s stance was that violation of the restrictions would not be tolerated. In such a situation, now the whole country is watching whether Modi will directly register his protest against Trump.
