  • The United States and Iran announced an immediate and permanent end to military operations, signaling a potential end to the Middle East war.
  • A signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19 in Geneva, with Pakistan mediating the agreement.

The United States and Iran have announced a peace agreement and an "immediate and permanent" cessation of military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon. This development marks the strongest indication yet that the more than three-month-long war in the Middle East may be nearing its conclusion.

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

A formal signing ceremony is slated for June 19 in Geneva. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the completion of the deal on his Truth Social platform, shortly after Pakistani mediator Shehbaz Sharif confirmed that both parties had reached an accord. Trump also declared his authorization for the "free toll opening of the Strait of Hormuz" and the "immediate lifting of the United States naval blockade," urging global ships to resume operations and allow oil to flow.

I fully authorize the free toll opening of the Strait of Hormuz and, simultaneously, I authorize the immediate lifting of the United States naval blockade. Ships of the world, turn on your engines. Let the oil flow!

Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Vice Minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, confirmed the peace agreement, stating it brings an "immediate end to the war." He asserted that Iran emerged victorious, with the enemy's objectives being nullified. This agreement follows Iran's earlier threats of retaliation against an Israeli attack on Hezbollah in Beirut, which had previously jeopardized the deal.

A peace agreement has BEEN REACHED.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance expressed his intention to attend the Geneva signing ceremony, noting that President Trump "might" also be present. Sharif, the Pakistani Prime Minister, thanked both Washington and Tehran for pursuing a "diplomatic solution" and acknowledged the support of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey in mediating the conflict. French President Emmanuel Macron indicated that the agreement would be a key topic at the upcoming G7 summit in France, focusing on its consequences, support for Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz, and a potential deal on Iran's nuclear and ballistic programs.

In the first place, the immediate and definitive end of the war and military operations on the various fronts, including Lebanon.
