Trump confirms US-Iran peace agreement, reopens Strait of Hormuz
The United States and Iran have reached a peace agreement that provides for the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon, in what is being described as a major diplomatic breakthrough after more than three months of conflict in the Middle East.
The announcement was made by Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, who disclosed that both countries had agreed to end hostilities following intensive negotiations. According to him, a formal signing ceremony is scheduled to take place on June 19 in Switzerland.
Sharif said the agreement includes an “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” while also acknowledging the mediation efforts of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
US President Donald Trump also confirmed the development, declaring that the agreement with Iran was complete and announcing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as well as the removal of the US naval blockade.
> “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” Trump said while authorising the reopening of the critical shipping route.
Reports indicate that Iranian officials have also acknowledged the agreement, with further negotiations expected over the coming weeks to address outstanding issues, including aspects of Iran’s nuclear programme and broader regional security concerns.
The conflict, which began in February, disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and heightened tensions across the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon, where clashes involving Iran-backed groups and Israel threatened to derail peace efforts.
While the agreement is being hailed as a significant step toward regional stability, analysts note that its long-term success will depend on the implementation of its provisions and the resolution of unresolved strategic disputes.
