Agreement was struck despite â an Israeli strike on Lebanon on Sunday that drew criticism from both Iran and Trump
Jason Burke at The Guardian:
A peace deal between the US and Iran has been reached following nearly four months of fighting in the region, Donald Trump and senior Iranian officials have said.
Iranian deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed the agreement in televised comments in the early hours of Monday, saying it puts an âimmediate endâ to the countriesâ war, and that it included Lebanon.
The precise terms of the deal were not immediately known, however, in a statement posted to Truth Social Sunday evening, the US president announced the opening of the strait of Hormuz as well as the removal of the US naval blockade. âShips of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!â, said Trump in the celebratory post.
He later clarified that the opening of the strait would be contingent upon the signing of the deal on Friday â which mediator Pakistan said would take place in Geneva â âfor purposes of mine removalâ
However, Iranâs Mehr state news reported that the memorandum of understanding agreed with the US calls for the reopening of the strait within 30 days under âIranian arrangementsâ.
Pakistanâs prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, announced the agreement on Sunday afternoon, with both sides declaring âthe immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanonâ.
The agreement was struck despite â an Israeli strike on Lebanon on Sunday that drew criticism from both Iran and US President Donald Trump.
âFollowing intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED,â Sharif said in a post on X. A signing ceremony for the peace agreement is expected to take place on 19 June in Switzerland, he added.
Trump had called for restraint on Sunday after Israel launched fresh airstrikes on Beirut, as mediators sought to reach a preliminary peace deal to definitively end the three-month war in the Middle East.
Trump had previously suggested the US could sign an agreement with Iran on Sunday, but as the evening came in the Middle East, there was no sign of a breakthrough. Instead, Iranian officials threatened a military response to the Israeli attack on Beirut, which destroyed a building in the Lebanese capitalâs southern suburbs, killing three and injuring six.

Even if the strait of Hormuz is reopened, relief for the world economy will come slowly, analysts say. Safe passage for shipping trapped in the narrow waterway is far from assured and infrastructure damaged during the conflict will take months to fully repair.
The US and Iran agreed to a new peace deal that is substantially similar to the JCPOA agreement under Obama that was torn up under Donald Trumpâs 1st term, and contains a provision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
