President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the United States and Iran are expected to sign a major peace agreement on June 14, a move he said would immediately reopen the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz to global shipping. (Reuters)
Posting on Truth Social, President Trump stated that “the Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow,” adding that the Strait of Hormuz would become “OPEN TO ALL” immediately after the agreement takes effect. (Reuters)
The proposed agreement comes after months of escalating military tensions, naval confrontations, and disruptions to international oil shipments in the Gulf region. The Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most important maritime oil routes — handles roughly one-fifth of global petroleum trade under normal conditions. (Reuters)
Tehran Casts Doubt on Final Timing
Despite President Trump’s announcement, Iranian officials signaled caution and indicated that negotiations were still ongoing.
Iranian representatives reportedly denied that a final agreement had already been approved for signing, although Tehran acknowledged that talks had advanced significantly in recent days. (The Washington Post)
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a framework agreement was “close,” but emphasized that several technical and political issues still required internal consultation inside Iran. (Reuters)
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose government has reportedly helped mediate negotiations alongside Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, confirmed preparations for an electronic signing ceremony expected to take place Sunday. (Axios)
Hormuz Reopening Central to Agreement
The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz appears to be one of the core provisions of the proposed deal.
The waterway has faced repeated military disruptions since the beginning of the 2026 Iran conflict, including Iranian naval restrictions, U.S. escort operations, drone attacks, and shipping interceptions. (Wikipedia)
According to Reuters and Axios, draft terms under discussion include:
- Immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz
- Extension of the current ceasefire
- Limited sanctions relief for Iran
- Future negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program
- International monitoring arrangements linked to uranium enrichment activities (Reuters)
President Trump also claimed Iran had agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons under the proposed framework, although no full official treaty text has yet been released publicly. (New York Post)
Global Markets Closely Watching Outcome
Energy markets and international governments are monitoring developments closely because any reopening of Hormuz could significantly stabilize global oil prices and maritime shipping routes.
The Strait has remained one of the most volatile global chokepoints during the 2026 Iran conflict, with commercial shipping repeatedly threatened by mines, naval interceptions, and military operations. (Wikipedia)
Analysts say the agreement, if finalized, could become the most important diplomatic breakthrough between Washington and Tehran in years.
However, uncertainty remains over enforcement mechanisms, Iran’s uranium stockpile, long-term sanctions policy, and Israel’s position regarding the agreement.
Neither the White House nor Iranian authorities have yet released the final memorandum expected to be signed Sunday.
