US President Donald Trump is set to discuss plans to demine the Strait of Hormuz with allies at the upcoming G7 summit in France, as mediators claim an agreement to end the war is close.

Britain and France have expressed interest in assisting with demining the critical waterway once the conflict is paused.

Iran's state-run television announced that funeral ceremonies for former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will take place in July.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a deal aimed at ending the war was closer than ever before and expected to be finalised within 24 hours.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment, and Iran signalled caution, but a breakthrough in negotiations has been reported after Iran exchanged fire with the US and Israel earlier in the week.
