Mine is kinda what you’d expect.

Trump announces US and Iran have reached peace deal — here’s when the Strait of Hormuz reopens, and what happens next

By Caitlin Doornbos,  NY Post, June 14, 2026:

The US and Iran have reached a peace deal to end their three-and-a-half-month-old war, President Trump announced Sunday evening.

The Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20% of the world’s oil, is set to reopen on Friday when a deal is signed in Switzerland, officials said.

“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“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!”

The signing will launch a 60-day negotiating process to determine the fate of Iran’s nuclear program and the extent of sanctions relief, according to officials.

“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,” Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on X. “Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts.”

The agreement has not been seen publicly, but the White House on Friday described to reporters five points that are in the deal:

• Iran will destroy its highly enriched uranium
• Tehran will pledge never to obtain a nuclear weapon
• Economic relief will come after those first two steps are completed
• The Strait of Hormuz will be open immediately upon signing
• Iran must stop funding terrorist groups including Hezbollah

A senior administration official said the economic relief would be released “around physical milestones, it’s built around action and it’s built around verification.”

Pakistan will help facilitate “a series of meetings this week” in the lead-up to the formal event in Switzerland, during which the parties will “lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony,” the prime minister added.

Meanwhile, Qatari negotiators flew into Tehran on Sunday morning in coordination with the US to help with sealing the agreement.

“Qatari mediators have left Tehran after 17 hours of intensive negotiations. A deal has been reached, and separate preparatory meetings with each side will now take place in Qatar this week,” a diplomat briefed on developments told The Post Sunday evening.

Trump, meanwhile, is flying the French resort of Evian-les-Baines early Monday for the annual meeting of G7 leaders on the shores of Lake Geneva. It was not immediately clear whether he would attend the planned Friday signing.

The breakthrough — which was briefly put in jeopardy Sunday after Israel launched strikes on Hezbollah targets outside Beirut — caps months of diplomacy led by Pakistani officials, who emerged as the primary channel between Washington and Tehran after direct negotiations repeatedly stalled.

The deal was originally meant to include the lifting of the American naval blockade on Iranian ports in a phased approach as the Strait of Hormuz gradually reopened, a US official said Friday.
