Was an agreement signed to end the war?
Here’s what we know: President Donald Trump and Iranian officials announced they have reached a deal to end the Iran war. The tentative agreement lowered oil prices, but left the fate of the country’s nuclear program open to further negotiations.
After the agreement was announced, oil prices fell. President Trump suggested the deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. lifting the blockade of Iranian ports, but additional details were not immediately disclosed. The official signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19th in Switzerland.
What Iran said: Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Ghalibabadi told Iranian state television that military operations on various fronts, including Lebanon, would cease, confirming an immediate and permanent end to the war.

When sadness appears at work
For most people, grief at work is a matter of when, not if. According to workplace bereavement research firm Bereave, one in nine workers are grieving the death of a loved one at any given time. What is it that corporate policies largely ignore? Losses can last for months or even years, far beyond what most companies plan for, but all employees at the darkest point in their lives are usually entitled to is three to five days of bereavement leave, after which they are expected to return to work and resume their normal lives.
