Trump Announces Iran Deal Signed, Strait of Hormuz to Reopen
Donald Trump announced that the deal with Iran has been signed and the text will be revealed after the official ceremony. He also stated that the Strait of Hormuz will be fully reopened and oil flow will accelerate again.
US President Donald Trump stated that a deal with Iran has been signed and the text will be disclosed after the official signing ceremony scheduled for Friday. Trump also confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz will be fully reopened.
Speaking alongside French President Emmanuel Macron before the G7 summit, Trump said he had arrived in the French town of Evian. He was uncertain whether he would attend Friday’s ceremony but noted that US Vice President JD Vance would be present.
Trump emphasized that the deal is "fully signed" and mentioned that the strait was already partially open. "It will be completely open on Friday," he said, adding that the public release of the text would likely occur shortly after Friday.
The President stressed that any potential easing of sanctions on Iran would depend on Iran’s behavior. He said that if Tehran takes the expected steps, the easing would come into effect.
No official response was immediately received from Tehran following the announcement. The deal, announced overnight by the parties, was previously reported to be signed in an official ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
The details of the agreement have not yet been published. A US official speaking on condition of anonymity said they expect the provisions to be disclosed within 24 to 48 hours.
Statements by Trump and JD Vance have strengthened expectations that the strait will reopen and maritime traffic will return to normal. While Trump said ships have begun transiting, the US military has not yet confirmed lifting the blockade on Iranian ports.
According to the framework shared by the parties, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and the ceasefire will be extended for a 60-day negotiation period. During this time, contentious issues such as the future of Iran’s nuclear program are expected to be addressed.
The situation in Lebanon is also seen as critical for the deal’s outcome. Israel, which joined the conflict with Iran in February, was not included in the talks. Iran insists that the agreement requires a complete halt to fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon.
Although clashes in southern Lebanon slowed after the announcement on Monday, they did not fully stop. Lebanese state media reported that a vehicle in the town of Kfar Tebnit was struck by a drone, killing the driver.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Israeli attacks must cease completely in Lebanon and wrote that the US is responsible for implementing the framework agreement. Hezbollah welcomed the deal, emphasizing that including Lebanon in the text is important for stopping the war and protecting the country’s rights.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet publicly commented on the deal. Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel will remain "indefinitely" in the areas it occupies in southern Lebanon to eliminate militant threats, according to its assessment.
A senior Israeli official described the deal as "very bad" for Israel. Security sources reported that clashes in southern Lebanon decreased after the announcement but have not ended entirely.
The news of the deal also impacted global energy markets. Oil prices dropped sharply on expectations that disruptions in global energy supply may end, while some stocks reached record highs.
Trump had previously said the strait would open on Friday. In his latest statement on Monday, he said many oil-laden ships have already started passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
