Trump Announces Deal With Iran; Pakistan PM Confirms Peace Accord

U.S. President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that a deal with Iran has been finalized, signaling a potential end to regional tensions. He announced his approval for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate lifting of the U.S. naval blockade.

“

The agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all.

Echoing this announcement, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that a peace agreement has been reached between the United States and Iran. Sharif indicated that an official signing ceremony is scheduled to take place in Switzerland on Friday. He described the agreement as a peace accord that would lead to an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.

“

I fully approve the unrestricted opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and at the same time, I approve the immediate lifting of the U.S. naval blockade.

The reported breakthrough comes despite recent reports of a temporary delay in the U.S.-Iran agreement following an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Trump had strongly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing anger over the timing of the strike, which he felt jeopardized the delicate negotiations. "Why did Bibi have to do such an attack an hour before we sign?" Trump reportedly asked, calling Netanyahu's judgment into question.

“

Turn on your engines, ships of the world. Let the oil flow.

Despite the earlier hiccup, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested that the agreement was a matter of 'when, not if,' indicating that the process was moving forward. The reported deal aims to ensure the free flow of oil through the vital Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy supplies.

“

I am pleased to announce that following intensive negotiations, a peace agreement has been reached between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
