President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the United States has finalized its agreement with Iran, declaring the deal complete and immediately authorizing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping.

“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! 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!” Trump wrote.

Moments before, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced what he described as a peace agreement between the United States and Iran.

“Following 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,” Sharif wrote.

According to Sharif, both sides agreed to the “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.”

He added that an official signing ceremony is scheduled to take place on Friday, June 19, in Switzerland.

Sharif also thanked Qatar for its mediation efforts, while praising Saudi Arabia and Türkiye for what he called their “immense contributions” toward reaching the agreement.

“With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week,” Sharif said. “These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.”

The announcements come after several days of increasingly optimistic comments from President Trump, who repeatedly indicated that negotiations with Iran were nearing completion and suggested Vice President JD Vance could attend a formal signing ceremony in Europe.
