## Resource

The first stage of a peace deal with Iran has now been signed. The memorandum of understanding will see the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately, while the full deal is set for signing on Friday. As things stand, there are still many points of debate, including Israel’s position in the deal, and an alleged plan for Gulf states to spend $300 billion on reconstruction in Iran. We’ll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.
