President Donald Trump announced that a final agreement with Iran has been reached, calling it a historic breakthrough that will bring peace and security to the Middle East. He said the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to global shipping and the U.S. will immediately lift its naval blockade, with mine-clearing operations to follow. The deal follows a week of rapid diplomatic movement, as The Zioneer reported through multiple overnight updates.
President Donald Trump announced Monday morning that a final agreement with Iran has been concluded, declaring it a 'historic deal' that will bring 'Peace and Security' to the Middle East. In the statement, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to global shipping and that the United States will immediately remove its naval blockade. He added that oil will flow freely through the region once mine-clearing operations are completed, describing the deal as a breakthrough previous U.S. presidents failed to achieve.
The announcement confirms and formalizes a deal that has been taking shape rapidly over the past several days. As The Zioneer reported early Monday at 01:27, Trump confirmed the Iran deal and ordered the naval blockade lifted. At 08:35 the same morning, he hailed the agreement as historic and said the Strait would reopen Friday. That earlier timing has now been aligned with the present announcement — the action is described as immediate.
The agreement ends a protracted standoff that saw U.S. forces conduct naval escorts of oil tankers through the Strait and a covert mission that disabled Iranian radar systems earlier this month. Friday's 60-day ceasefire framework, first reported as the 'Islamabad Agreement' on June 12 and at 60% drafted at the time, appears to have matured into a final document over the weekend.
The precise mechanism for sanctions relief, the role of third-party guarantors, and verification arrangements have not been detailed in today's public statements.
