ISLAMABAD (AP) — The United States and Iran have reached an agreement to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, offering relief to the global economy more than three months since fighting began.
Details of the deal were not immediately available and Iran signaled implementation would not start until the signing, which key mediator Pakistan said would occur Friday in Switzerland. Iran said the text would be published after that. Key issues like Iran’s nuclear program are expected to be addressed later.
But even as it became clear the parties still have days to influence what lies ahead, the announcements had an air of relief.
“Congratulations to all!” U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on social media, 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,” imposed in retaliation for Iran’s grip on the crucial waterway.
He soon hedged, however, saying the strait wouldn’t open until Friday’s signing. The U.S. previously said it would ease its blockade of Iranian ports as the strait reopens, and would agree to relax sanctions to allow Iran to sell more of its oil and strengthen its battered economy.
Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, confirmed the agreement on state television but said Iran would not start implementing it until it was signed on Friday. He said the deal followed talks with Qatar, another mediator.
Qatari mediators later left Tehran following 17 hours of negotiations, said an official briefed on the developments who spoke on condition of anonymity due to sensitivity of the talks. Separate preparatory meetings with each side will take place in Doha this week, the official said.

After months of fighting, a ‘critical step’ is taken to end the war
“This represents a critical step towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict,” the spokesperson for the United Nations secretary-general said of the deal and framework for further negotiations.
Pakistan first announced the deal after a day in which Israel, sidelined from the negotiations, attacked Beirut’s southern suburbs while pursuing the Iranian-backed Hezbollah. Iran’s deputy foreign minister hinted at the tensions that caused, saying “our armed forces were fully prepared to give a decisive response to Israel’s actions.”
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said “both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” adding that mediators this week will facilitate meetings to “lay the foundation for the technical talks.”
Iranian state TV later cited the secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council saying the war on all fronts “will end immediately and permanently beginning tonight” — but that the U.S. blockade “will be terminated immediately and in full.”
It was not clear who from Iran would sign the deal on Friday. U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News the White House was still figuring out who would attend: “I certainly plan to be there, but it’s possible the president himself could be there.” The deal came under criticism even in the final hours
Broader negotiations on outstanding issues like Iran’s nuclear program would continue over the next 60 days, two senior Pakistani officials said earlier Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. If the sides fail to reach a resolution within that time, the timeline could be extended.

The deal likely returns the region to a status that existed before the war, but with thousands of people dead and Iran wielding a new source of negotiating pressure with its ability to influence shipping in the strait. The waterway is crucial to significant shipments of oil, natural gas and related products like fertilizer, and its effective closure rocked the global economy.
Even with a deal, it will take months for oil and gas supplies to flow freely enough for the world’s needs to be met because shipping and insurance companies want to be confident the agreement will last, energy experts said.
Of the stated targets by the U.S. and Israel when they launched the war on Feb. 28 with strikes that killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Tehran still has a missile program, support for armed proxies in the region like Hezbollah and a stockpile of highly enriched uranium for its nuclear program.
Khamenei’s son is now supreme leader, though he has not been seen in the public since the war began. His approval was needed for Iran to sign off on the deal.
There was apparent friction inside Iran in the hours before the announcement, as the government warned that division at home over the deal weakens its negotiating position. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called it a “disgrace” when someone stands before parliament and calls anyone who negotiates a traitor.
The emerging deal had been sharply criticized by critics in Trump’s own Republican Party. Some said it did not improve on the terms of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that Trump withdrew the U.S. from during his first term and still describes as “bad.”
None of your predictions came true. And yet none of you will admit you were wrong.

The central question of Iran’s nuclear program remains
After the war began, Iran attacked Israel and several Arab Gulf nations with missiles and drones. A ceasefire was reached on April 7. Ten days later, the U.S. military imposed its blockade. A historic face-to-face meeting between Vice President JD Vance and Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf ended without success.
Throughout negotiations, Trump alternatively threatened to destroy Iranian infrastructure, even its civilization, and praised the relationship with Iran as “more professional” as his administration sought an exit from the war with midterm U.S. elections coming later this year.
Iran’s government, with its own tensions around hard-liners as it scrambled to replace several top officials killed in the war, repeatedly expressed wariness of negotiations after rounds of talks last year and early this year ended with U.S. and Israeli attacks.
Tehran has emphasized that it wanted a deal to focus on ending the war, with discussions put off until later on its nuclear program — the issue at the center of it all.
Iran has 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium that is enriched up to 60% purity, a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Iran has long maintained its nuclear program is peaceful and has not publicly committed to giving up the enriched uranium, which is believed to be buried under three nuclear sites that were badly damaged by U.S. strikes last year.
At times, the U.S. had sought the removal of the enriched uranium from Iran as part of a deal. Russia has offered to take it. At other times, Trump said he wanted the uranium destroyed.

>>1519575 >We didn't get a forever war. >You weren't drafted to die for Israel. >We didn't put boots on the ground. >We didn't get a flood of refugees. All these were true before the war started, and would have stayed like that had some retard not started a war in the ME. We did, however, get:
...the straight of Hormuz open, which was open before the war, except now Iran gets to charge a fee for it thanks to Trump.
...to pay Iran $25 billion dollars so that they can rebuild their country and stockpile of arms, because Obama only gave them $0.5 billion and Trump always has to outdo him.
...a gurantee Iran wouldn't build nukes, which they had already promised before the war.
...higher gas prices, though theyre only $4-5 instead of $6 so miggers treat this as a win. Hasnt gone back down to Biden levels though.
Did I miss anything else we get out of the Iran war?

>>1519585 >...higher gas prices, though theyre only $4-5 instead of $6 so miggers treat this as a win. Hasnt gone back down to Biden levels though. https://gasprice.us/gas-price-history Most significantly, prices under Trump averaged $2.54—42% lower than Obama's $3.68 average. American households saved thousands annually through energy independence policies and increased domestic production.
Global oil prices fluctuated, but America's self-inflicted production restrictions amplified price impacts. When Trump left office, America produced 13 million barrels daily—under Biden, production fell to 10.8 million despite global supply pressures improving. Policy, not market forces, created the inflation crisis.
Early second-term results (2025-March 2026): Prices declined to $3.14 average nationally, down from $3.41 in late 2024. While below Trump first-term lows, the trajectory reversed Biden-era inflation.
The adults are back in charge. Sit down. Shut your disgusting faggy oinker, and enjoy, piggy.

>>1519594 Why does your Trump talking point site stop at March 2026? It's mid June. Also, your Trump talking point site straight up makes up that 3.68 number for Obama, even while looking at its own data. Literally doesn't correspond to any of the numbers in its own breakdown of the Obama years If this is the best you can do, it's really really sad

Oh and I was mistaken, its not $25 billion were giving them, its $30 billion actually. Dont remember Biden or Obama giving that much money to Iran. Good thing they're going to keep their promise for real this time.

What was the fucking point? Sounds like the US position is worse than it was before the war and even more so than before Trump pulled the plug on Obama's "awful" deal.
