President Donald Trump announced Monday that a peace agreement with Iran has been signed to end the war between the two nations [1].
The deal represents a significant shift in Middle East geopolitics by addressing the security of global shipping lanes and the proliferation of nuclear weapons [3].
Trump made the remarks while standing alongside French President Emmanuel Macron before the G7 summit in France [1], [2]. He said the text of the agreement will be released to the public following a formal signing scheduled for Friday, June 19, 2026 [2].
According to the president, the agreement ensures that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon [1]. The deal also stipulates that the Strait of Hormuz will be fully opened for shipping [2].
Trump said the details of the agreement would be released soon [3]. The announcement comes as world leaders gather in France for the G7 summit to discuss international security, and economic stability [1], [2].
While the full terms remain confidential until the formal signing, the president said the primary goals were to stop the conflict and secure the maritime corridor [2], [3].
“The Strait of Hormuz will be fully opened.”
The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is a critical development for global energy markets, as a significant portion of the world's petroleum passes through this narrow waterway. By coupling the cessation of hostilities with a guarantee against nuclear armament, the administration is attempting to stabilize the region's security architecture through a formal diplomatic framework.
