US and Iran Agree to Reopen Hormuz, Ending Months of War

Trump – (Web Desk) – The United States and Iran have agreed to Reopen Hormuz, ending one of the most dangerous conflicts in recent Middle East history. The deal, announced on Sunday, brings relief to millions of people and global energy markets after months of deadly violence.

US President Donald Trump confirmed the agreement on social media, saying the Strait of Hormuz would reopen and the US naval blockade on Iranian ports would end immediately. “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” Trump said.

Pakistan played a central role in making the deal possible. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on X that the peace agreement between the United States and Iran had been officially reached. The formal signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday, June 19, in Switzerland.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed the deal on state television. He said the agreement puts an immediate end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon. He added that further talks within 60 days will work toward a final and permanent settlement.

According to Iran’s Mehr news agency, the draft deal contains 14 points. It includes the release of frozen Iranian assets worth up to $24 billion during the 60-day negotiation window. The US is also expected to suspend sanctions on Iranian oil sales as part of the arrangement.

Oil prices dropped nearly 5 percent after the announcement, while Asian stock markets rose on Monday. Investors welcomed the news as a sign that the global energy crisis may finally ease.

However, not everyone is fully on board. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Israeli forces will remain in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza for an unlimited period, despite the deal covering all war fronts. Lebanon said it had not been informed of the agreement’s details.

In Tehran, ordinary Iranians expressed cautious hope. “Once the war is over and the sanctions are lifted, I think it will be very good,” said Nastaran, a 29-year-old software engineer in the Iranian capital.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the deal a critical step toward resolving the conflict and restoring stability across the region.

The Trump administration has not yet confirmed all financial details of the agreement. Talks on Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, including a possible 15 to 20-year suspension, are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
