US President Donald Trump and Iranian officials have announced an immediate end to the war on Iran, with Trump claiming that “oil will flow on both ends again for the region, and the world”. The announcement follows the killing of Iran's supreme leader in a US-Israeli attack, which sparked celebrations in Iran.
However, the final text of the memorandum of understanding remains unpublished, and details are scant on key issues such as access to the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear programme, and Lebanon. Trump later told the New York Times that he would restart military attacks if Tehran fails to reach a nuclear agreement during broader negotiations set to begin on Friday.
Questions remain over the specifics of the peace deal, including the future of Iran's nuclear ambitions and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments. The lack of detail has left analysts and world leaders seeking clarification on the terms agreed.
