US and Iran agree landmark deal to end Middle East hostilities and reopen Strait of Hormuz

The United States and Iran have agreed to a landmark peace deal that will formally end hostilities across the Middle East, including in Lebanon, with the accord set to be signed in Switzerland this Friday and the Strait of Hormuz reopened to global shipping, US President Donald Trump announced on Monday.
Both Washington and Tehran confirmed the breakthrough, which follows weeks of intense negotiations mediated by Pakistan. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told state television that the agreement “immediately ends the war” and includes commitments to de-escalate tensions in Lebanon, where fighting has flared in recent days. Trump, marking his 79th birthday, declared on Truth Social: “Let the oil flow,” signaling the reopening of the strategically vital waterway that has been a flashpoint for regional conflict.
The deal, described by multiple outlets as a framework agreement, will extend a 60-day ceasefire and initiate negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program, according to the *Financial Times* . The formal signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday in Geneva, Swiss officials confirmed, with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif attending as a key mediator. Iranian state media reported that the Hormuz Strait will reopen under Tehran’s arrangements, a move expected to ease global oil markets rattled by months of conflict.
The announcement comes despite fresh violence in Beirut, where Israeli airstrikes targeted southern suburbs early Monday in response to Hezbollah cross-border fire. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said the strikes aimed at Hezbollah positions in the Dahiyeh district, a stronghold of the Iran-backed militant group. The strikes drew criticism from both Trump and Iranian officials, who reiterated their commitment to the peace process.
Analysts warn that hardline factions in Tehran may resist the deal, which faces domestic scrutiny after nearly four months of fighting that has destabilized the region’s economy. The agreement’s durability will hinge on follow-through, including the withdrawal of proxy forces and the resumption of stalled nuclear talks. European diplomats, who have long urged restraint, welcomed the development but cautioned that implementation risks remain high.
For now, the pact offers a fragile hope of relief. The Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil passes, has been a persistent source of tension since the conflict escalated in February. Its reopening, slated for Friday, marks a symbolic and practical turning point—one that Trump framed as a victory for regional stability and global energy security.
