The US and Iran finalised a deal to end their 107-day war and open the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway used to ferry one-fifth of the global oil supplies. US President Donald Trump made the announcement of Truth Social last night, saying America will end its naval blockade on Iranian ports. The peace agreement will be signed on June 19 in Switzerland. Trump said the Strait of Hormuz will open on Friday after the official signing of the agreement. He said, this Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. The agreement calls for the US and Iran to negotiate over Iran’s nuclear enrichment and the disposal of its highly enriched uranium during a 60-day window. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said that the war and military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, will end permanently starting tonight.
The US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28 that saw Tehran lose several of its top leadership, including the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamemei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander Mohammad Pakpour, Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh among others. Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, is now the supreme leader, but has not been seen in public since the war began.
