“Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated in a post on X/Twitter.
US President Donald Trump confirmed that a peace deal between the US and Iran has been completed in a post on Truth Social on Sunday.“The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump stated, adding his “congratulations to all.” “I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade,” Trump continued.
In a subsequent post on Truth Social, Trump clarified that the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened to allow the transit of commercial vessels on Friday after the agreement is signed. Trump told the New York Times in an interview after the agreement was announced that if Iran failed to reach a final agreement on nuclear issues, the US would restart attacks against Tehran. He also told the NYT that the deal would ensure that the Strait of Hormuz is “permanently toll free.”
Trump's announcement came shortly after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated the deal had been reached in a post on X/Twitter.“Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Sharif stated.
