WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has announced that a peace agreement between the United States and Iran has been finalized, describing it as a major diplomatic breakthrough aimed at ending tensions and restoring stability in the region.
According to Trump, both countries have agreed to an immediate and permanent halt to military actions across all fronts, including developments linked to Lebanon. He also declared that the Strait of Hormuz would be fully reopened for commercial shipping, while the United States would immediately end its naval blockade in the area.
In a statement, Trump said the agreement would allow global trade and oil shipments to resume without restrictions, calling it a significant step toward regional peace and economic stability. “The deal is complete. Congratulations! The Strait of Hormuz is fully open, and the US naval blockade is being lifted immediately,” he stated.
The announcement emphasized that international vessels would once again have unrestricted access through the strategic waterway, a key route for global energy supplies.
Sources familiar with the matter said the agreement is part of an initial framework, with technical negotiations and implementation measures expected to follow in the coming days. A formal signing ceremony is reportedly planned to take place in Switzerland.
The development is being widely viewed as a potentially historic diplomatic achievement that could ease regional tensions and strengthen global trade flows.
