Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced that an agreement with Iran has been finalized. His statement came shortly after Pakistan's Prime Minister revealed that the U.S. and Iran had reached a peace agreement, which is set to be officially signed on June 19 in Switzerland, raising hopes for a reduction in Middle Eastern tensions.

On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote on June 15, "The agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to everyone involved." He added, "I fully approve the free opening of the Hormuz Strait and simultaneously authorize the immediate lifting of the U.S. maritime blockade."

Trump urged, "Vessels around the world, start your engines. Let the oil flow."

The Hormuz Strait is a critical route for global oil transportation. Following tensions between Iran and the U.S., restrictions on navigation through the strait and the U.S. maritime blockade had contributed to instability in international oil prices and shipping markets.

However, it remains unclear whether the Iranian government has confirmed the completion of the agreement and the lifting of maritime measures at the same level as Trump’s announcement. Further clarification is needed regarding the details of the agreement, the signing process, and the timeline for normalizing navigation through the Hormuz Strait.
