Trump Confirms Completion of US-Iran Deal, Cites Strait of Hormuz and Nuclear Weapons Accord

The interim deal will extend a tenuous ceasefire, announced in April, by another 60 days. It also reopens the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran had effectively blocked since February following attacks by the US and Israel. Doubts have been raised about how quickly shipping and energy exports will recover, though President Trump stated the deal's text, which will be made public soon, clearly rules out Tehran possessing nuclear weapons.

US President Donald Trump has reiterated that the deal with Iran is "all signed", confirming this during talks with French President Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit. Senior US officials have indicated that the Strait of Hormuz will re-open on Friday, coinciding with the formal signing of the agreement in Geneva. Furthermore, technical talks concerning Iran's nuclear programme are expected to commence this week.

The formal signing ceremony for the US-Iran agreement is scheduled for June 19th in Switzerland, with US President Donald Trump confirming "the deal's all signed" while in France. The agreement aims to end over 100 days of conflict and is expected to pave the way for detailed negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme and sanctions relief. The Strait of Hormuz is anticipated to be completely open by Friday. Information regarding the signing date was attributed to the Pakistan Prime Minister.
