US President Donald Trump announced tonight (Monday) that "the deal with Iran is complete" - and announced the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the American naval blockade of Iran.
The President wrote enthusiastically: "The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully approve the free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and at the same time, I hereby approve the immediate lifting of the United States naval blockade. Ships of the world, start your engines. Let the oil flow!""
President Trump later tweeted another post about 'Pink Dream': "This historic agreement will bring peace and security to the entire region.
""Many presidents have tried to achieve peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The leaders of the region have found, for the first time, a president capable of helping them achieve real peace. With the opening of the Strait of Hormuz with the signing of the agreement on Friday, and for the purpose of carrying out mine clearance operations, oil will flow again on both sides of the Strait - for the benefit of the entire region and for the benefit of the entire world.".
Iranian media also confirmed that an agreement had been reached. Iranian state television reported: "America was forced to sign an agreement to end the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Resistance Front.".
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Aribabadi announced that starting tonight, an immediate and permanent end to the war and military activities on various fronts, including in Lebanon, will be declared. At the same time, Aribabadi stated that the process of lifting the American naval blockade imposed on Iran will begin starting tonight.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan was the first to announce: "After intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the peace agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran has been reached.
""Both sides declared an immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will take place on Friday, June 19, in Switzerland.".
The Prime Minister of Pakistan stated: "We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to our brother in this mediation effort, the leadership of the State of Qatar, for its support in reaching the agreement.".
He added: "I would also like to especially thank the visionary leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Turkey for their significant contribution to this process.".
According to the Pakistani prime minister, the mediators will hold a series of meetings this week. These preliminary discussions will lay the groundwork for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.
Even before the official announcement, President Trump revealed new details about the agreement being formed between Washington and Tehran. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the president said that this is a significant step towards ending the ongoing conflict between the parties.
According to Trump, the agreement is expected to include an Iranian commitment not to obtain nuclear weapons and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The American president noted that the issue of removing nuclear material from Iran would be addressed at a later stage, and emphasized that at this stage, he said, there was no immediate pressure to carry out the move.
Trump added that the agreement does not include the transfer of funds to Iran, but left room for the removal of sanctions in the future.
""We'll see how they behave," he said. He noted that significant oversight mechanisms will be put in place to monitor the implementation of the understandings, without elaborating on how these will work in practice.
""I think they want to end it. This has never happened to them before," he said.
The American president later addressed the tensions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the attacks in Lebanon, claiming that the military moves almost damaged diplomatic contacts. Despite the criticism, Trump emphasized that Netanyahu supports the principles of the agreement.
""Bibi is fine with this," he said. "Why is it good for Bibi? Because Iran must not have nuclear weapons under any circumstances.".
Israeli officials criticized the agreement, claiming that it does not provide a solution to Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and regional influence, while the regime in Tehran remains stable.
