The United States and Iran have reached an agreement to end their active conflict and reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz. This major development, confirmed by both President Donald Trump and Iranian officials, marks a significant shift in a war that has gripped the region since February 28.
As NBC News reported, the announcement came directly from the president. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “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. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”
