German government spokesperson said an Iran agreement could pave the way for global economic recovery.

The New York Times cites two Iranian officials saying Tehran waited until after local midnight to finalise a U.S.-Iran agreement to avoid the timing coinciding with President Trump’s birthday on the 14th (U.S. Eastern Time). The 7.5-hour time difference allowed each side to claim the agreement was completed on its preferred date; Trump had said the deal would be reached on Sunday, while Iran said it would be reached a day later.
