A signing ceremony will be held on June 19 in Switzerland.
A deal to end the conflict between the United States and Iran has been reached, U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 14.
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
“Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade.
“Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”
Iranian state television quoted an Iranian national security official as saying the war “will end immediately and permanently beginning tonight” on all fronts, while the U.S. blockade “will be terminated immediately and in full.”
The deal was first announced by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
“Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Sharif wrote on X moments before Trump confirmed the plan.
Sharif said a signing ceremony will be held on June 19 in Switzerland.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council also confirmed on June 15 that the two sides have finalized a memorandum of understanding to end the months-long war, state-owned news agency Press TV reported.
The council said the deal will include “an immediate and permanent halt to military operations on all fronts” and the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
It also stated that negotiations on a final agreement would begin once the United States has implemented its commitments under the memorandum.
Additional details on the proposed memorandum of understanding (MOU) were not immediately released, and Iran has signaled that it may not implement portions of the deal until the signing ceremony is complete.
A key area of disagreement remains the presence of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon and its conflict with Israel—with Trump urging all sides to work to keep the peace.
Sharif said in his announcement of the deal that the United States and Iran “have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.”
