President Donald Trump announced the entire Iran deal is signed and sealed, and that the Strait of Hormuz will fully reopen on Friday, according to statements carried by Israeli media. The announcement follows an MOU signing involving Trump, Vice President Vance, and Iranian parliament speaker Qalibaf, as The Zioneer reported earlier.
President Donald Trump confirmed Monday evening that the comprehensive agreement with Iran is fully signed and sealed, and that the Strait of Hormuz will fully reopen to all shipping this Friday, according to statements carried by Israeli media. The announcement follows a rapid sequence of reported progress today: from Vice President JD Vance's initial disclosure of a digital signing overnight (Mon 17:43 Jerusalem), through multiple confirmations that Trump, Vance, and Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf had all signed a memorandum of understanding, to the senior U.S. official who said the MOU allowed for an immediate reopening — a timeline that Trump has now scheduled for Friday.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the first thread item (Mon 17:43) cited Vance telling ABC News that the deal was signed digitally yesterday with no funds released yet. Within minutes, multiple sources — including Israeli journalists Barak Ravid and Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) — confirmed that all three leaders had signed the MOU. A senior U.S. official elaborated that the document provides for lifting the naval blockade and beginning mine-clearing operations. The now-finalized Friday timeline for the Strait of Hormuz reopening — a chokepoint for roughly 20% of global oil transit — follows conflicting signals in earlier reports, including an Iranian source (Mon 01:36) insisting that reopening would only begin after Friday's signing ceremony, and a later report from Iran's Tasnim agency (Mon 14:15) describing last-minute changes to the MOU text and Iran's rejection of an immediate opening.
The broader diplomatic framework dates back to reports of a 60-day ceasefire framework (Friday June 12, 08:39 Jerusalem), as The Zioneer reported, and Trump's earlier characterization of the deal as 'historic' (Mon 10:56). Background items from our wider record show that Trump had previously signaled a possible reopening as early as Saturday or Monday (Thu Jun 11, 23:10) and that the initial MOU, dubbed the 'Islamabad Agreement,' included provisions for sanctions relief and an end to military operations.
What remains open: the precise terms of the final agreement beyond the reopening timeline have not been disclosed. The Friday deadline for the strait's reopening has not yet been independently verified by on-site sources, and Iranian official statements beyond the earlier Tasnim report have not confirmed the schedule.
