Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed that the United States and Iran have reached a peace deal to end the war [1, 2, 3].

The agreement marks a significant shift in geopolitical tensions, aiming to stabilize the Middle East by halting active combat and restoring critical global trade routes.

Kazem Gharibabadi said, "We have reached an agreement with the United States to end the war" [1]. The deal focuses on the immediate and permanent termination of military operations across all fronts, which includes hostilities in Lebanon [2, 3].

As part of the accord, the two nations agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to allow commercial shipping to resume [3, 4]. The strait is one of the world's most strategic maritime chokepoints, and its closure had threatened global energy supplies [3, 4].

Donald Trump said, "Hormuz is open" [5]. He said that both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon [2].

Reports regarding the mediation of the deal vary. One source indicated that Pakistan mediated the agreement, though other reports did not mention Pakistani involvement [3, 4].

“"We have reached an agreement with the United States to end the war."”

The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz removes a primary catalyst for global oil price volatility. By extending the ceasefire to include Lebanon, the agreement attempts to neutralize proxy conflicts that have historically escalated into broader regional wars between Washington and Tehran.
