President Donald Trump and Iran's top negotiator remotely signed a memorandum of understanding on June 15, 2026, to end their war [1].
The agreement is critical because it seeks to restore global shipping and stability by reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime corridor.
Senior U.S. officials said President Trump and Iran's top negotiator have already remotely signed the memorandum of understanding [2]. The deal focuses on ending hostilities on all fronts, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz to international traffic [3].
This diplomatic breakthrough follows a conflict that lasted approximately four months [4]. The timeline of the final signing varied across reports, with some sources indicating a Friday date of June 14, while others expected the signing on Sunday, June 15, 2026 [1, 5].
President Trump said a deal with Iran, including an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, was expected to be signed on Sunday [6]. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the U.S. and Iran had agreed on a deal to bring the nearly four-month war to an end [7].
The memorandum represents a cessation of active combat and a commitment to stabilize the region. By addressing the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the agreement aims to mitigate the economic impact of the conflict on global energy markets [3, 8].

The resolution of this four-month conflict removes a primary threat to global oil supplies. By reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the deal stabilizes one of the world's most sensitive maritime chokepoints, potentially lowering energy prices and reducing the immediate risk of a wider regional escalation.
