Trump Claims Landmark US-Iran Peace Agreement: Ends Military Action And Reopens Strait Of Hormuz

The United States and Iran have reached a peace agreement after intense talks, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said. US President Donald Trump later confirmed the deal. The accord calls for an immediate and permanent stop to military action on all fronts, including Lebanon.

The agreement is set for formal signing in Switzerland on June 19. Trump also said the Strait of Hormuz would remain "permanently toll-free." He warned that strikes could restart if Iran failed to finalise a wider nuclear agreement with Washington.

US-Iran peace deal confirmed by Donald Trump

Trump announced the agreement on Truth Social after Sharif shared the news on X. He said talks with Iran had ended successfully. "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!" Trump wrote.

In an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, Trump defended the pact. He said he could consider fresh attacks on Tehran if a final nuclear deal failed. He also mentioned a wider arrangement where the United States would act as the "guardian of the Middle East".

US-Iran peace deal includes Strait of Hormuz reopening

Trump said he had ordered the Strait of Hormuz reopened for commercial shipping. He also directed the removal of the US naval blockade. "Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!" Trump wrote, pointing to restored maritime movement.

The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for global oil and gas shipments. Any disruption there affects energy prices and trade flows. Trump said the deal would keep the waterway open without tolls, giving markets a sign of reduced risk.

US-Iran peace deal terms outlined by Iran

Iran's National Security Council said the maritime blockade would be lifted at once. It described the accord as a newly finalised memorandum of understanding with the United States. The council said all war and military operations would stop immediately and permanently from tonight.

The council added that the MoU text had been completed. It said formal signing remained scheduled for June 19. Talks on a final comprehensive agreement would begin after the other side carried out its commitments under the memorandum.

Iran's Tasnim News Agency cited an informed source on the Strait of Hormuz timeline. The report said the waterway was expected to reopen on Friday after the MoU signing. It linked the reopening to formalisation of the peace agreement.

US-Iran peace deal followed regional mediation

Sharif said the agreement came after wide diplomatic engagement by several regional mediators. He said Washington and Tehran had chosen diplomacy over further confrontation. According to him, the deal opened space for wider de-escalation across the Middle East.

The Pakistani prime minister praised Qatar for leading and supporting the mediation effort. He also noted major roles played by Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Sharif said their combined diplomacy helped reduce differences and move both sides towards agreement.

Mediators are expected to oversee further meetings before the signing ceremony. These talks will cover technical arrangements, monitoring systems and operational steps. Diplomatic teams from the parties involved are likely to join the preparatory discussions.

The June 19 signing in Switzerland could mark a major step in regional diplomacy. Its success will depend on implementation and cooperation among all parties. For now, the agreement has paused hostilities and restored focus on negotiations.
