US President Donald Trump has announced that an agreement with Iran has been finalised and said he is authorising the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz along with the removal of a US naval blockade.
In a statement posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump declared that the deal with Iran was complete and described the development as a major diplomatic achievement. He said the agreement marked a significant step toward reducing tensions in the region.
Furthermore, Trump announced the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important maritime routes for oil and energy shipments. He also confirmed that the United States would lift its naval blockade, allowing commercial traffic to resume through the strategic waterway.
“Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” Trump wrote, signaling the expected restoration of maritime trade and energy exports through the Gulf.
However, the US president did not provide further details regarding the contents of the agreement or the timeline for implementing its provisions. Additional information is expected to emerge as negotiations move into the next phase.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced earlier on Monday that the United States and Iran had reached a peace agreement following intensive diplomatic talks.
In a post on X, Shehbaz Sharif said both countries had agreed to the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. He described the breakthrough as the result of sustained negotiations involving regional and international stakeholders.
The prime minister also revealed that the official signing ceremony for the agreement is scheduled to take place in Switzerland on June 19.
The announcement comes after months of heightened tensions and military confrontations in the Middle East. Observers believe the agreement could help stabilize the region, ease pressure on global energy markets, and create momentum for broader diplomatic efforts.
With the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz expected to restore normal shipping activity, international markets will closely monitor the implementation of the agreement and its impact on regional security and global trade.
