U.S. President Donald Trump announced the breakthrough, stating he had authorized the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports. "Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!" Trump posted on social media, signaling a return to normalcy for global shipping.

Details of the agreement remain scarce, but it is understood to include the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. Mediators, led by Pakistan, are set to facilitate technical talks to solidify the foundation of the peace process.

Iranian state media asserted that the U.S. was "forced to sign an agreement to end the war," while Tehran's government had yet to officially comment. The deal, however, has drawn criticism from Israel and some within Trump's Republican Party, who argue it does not sufficiently address Iran's missile program or support for regional proxies.
