G7 leaders have endorsed U.S. President Donald Trump's tentative agreement with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and extend a ceasefire, despite limited details on implementation.

The deal, to be signed in Switzerland, includes Iran reopening the strait and selling oil freely, while the U.S. would work to end sanctions if a final nuclear deal is reached.

- G7 leaders call the deal a 'historic opportunity' to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. - The agreement also calls for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah, though Israel's withdrawal is not mentioned.

- G7 leaders also pledged support for Ukraine, increased air defense deliveries, and sanctions on Russia. - They committed to fighting the international drug trade and migrant smuggling.

The summit concluded with sessions on AI and economic growth, with Trump planning a dinner at Versailles before returning to Washington.
