Trump Announces Iran Deal; Strait of Hormuz Reopens

by | Jun 15, 2026

President Trump announced that a peace agreement between the United States and Iran has been completed, describing it as a deal that will bring “Peace and Security” to the region.

 

According to Trump, the agreement includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the removal of the U.S. naval blockade, and mine-removal operations to restore the free flow of commercial shipping and oil transit. In a Monday morning Truth Social post, Trump said ships loaded with oil had already begun moving through the Strait of Hormuz, adding that the southern shipping route is “totally safe, secure, and pristine.”

Separately, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, who served as a mediator in the negotiations, announced that the United States and Iran had agreed to the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The official signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland. Pakistan credited Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey for their roles in helping facilitate the agreement and said additional meetings would take place this week to prepare for implementation of the deal.
