US and Iran reach deal to end conflict, reopen Persian Gulf navigation

The United States and Iran have concluded a significant agreement aimed at ending a recent conflict and restoring maritime passage through the Persian Gulf. The accord, which has been anticipated and previously hinted at by President Donald Trump, was officially confirmed by both countries on Sunday evening.

Following over three months of hostilities and an uncertain ceasefire, coupled with intensive negotiations, the belligerents have finalized a memorandum of understanding. This agreement will permit the resumption of navigation in the Persian Gulf. President Trump announced the breakthrough on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, "The agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now concluded." He further declared, "Congratulations to all! I hereby authorize without reservation the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and, in parallel, the immediate lifting of the American naval blockade. Ships from all over the world, start your engines. Let the oil flow freely!"
