Trump Declares US–Iran Peace Deal Complete, Strait of Hormuz Reopens

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday, 14 June 2026, that a peace agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran has been finalized, declaring the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate lifting of the United States naval blockade. The announcement was made in a post on his Truth Social platform, shortly after Pakistan, acting as mediator, confirmed that both sides had reached a final accord.

“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” Trump wrote, adding: “I hereby fully authorize the toll‑free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”

The declaration followed intensive diplomatic efforts across the region. According to Iranian officials, several hours of talks were held in Tehran with a Qatari delegation to review the memorandum of understanding and exchange observations. In recent days, extensive consultations also took place with both Qatar and Pakistan, underscoring their pivotal roles in facilitating dialogue.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister confirmed that the breakthrough was achieved through sustained regional mediation, with Qatar playing a decisive role in bridging differences and helping secure the final agreement. The accord is expected to ease tensions in one of the world’s most strategic maritime corridors, restoring confidence in global energy flows and shipping routes.

Observers noted that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz marks a significant milestone in regional diplomacy, reflecting the combined efforts of Qatar, Pakistan, and other stakeholders to stabilize relations and promote peace. The agreement is seen as a step toward reducing geopolitical risks and fostering greater cooperation across the Gulf and beyond.
