1.   Iran–US Interim Agreement: Relief for Global Economy, Uncertainty Ahead

The biggest international development reported by The Indian Express is the interim agreement between the United States and Iran, ending weeks of conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement allows Iran to resume oil exports and begins a 60-day negotiation process on Tehran’s nuclear programme. The logic behind the deal is to prevent further disruption of global energy markets and avoid escalation in West Asia. The blockade had pushed fuel prices higher, increased inflation and disrupted supply chains worldwide. The editorial stand is cautiously optimistic: while the agreement reduces immediate tensions, many flashpoints remain unresolved, including Hezbollah, regional militias and nuclear enrichment. The broader lesson is that diplomacy often succeeds where military confrontation reaches its limits. The gist is that the agreement provides short-term stability to energy markets and the global economy, but lasting peace depends on successful negotiations and sustained regional cooperation.
