Donald Trump informed reporters on 11 June that the United States and Iran have reached an agreement to sign a peace deal, effectively ending the ongoing conflict between the two nations. The president stated that, to his understanding, Iran's supreme leader has also given approval for the proposed deal.
Key Details of the Proposed Agreement
According to Trump, the deal would include two major components: the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the denial of Iran's nuclear program. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global oil shipments, and its closure has been a significant point of contention in recent months.
Iran's Nuclear Program
The agreement would also require Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions, a long-standing demand from the US and its allies. Trump did not provide specifics on verification measures or timelines, but he expressed confidence that the deal would move forward.
This development marks a dramatic shift in US-Iran relations, which have been tense since the US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. Further details are expected in the coming days.
