A peace deal between the United States and Iran has been announced, with President Donald Trump and Iranian officials hailing an immediate end to the war. Trump stated that 'oil will flow on both ends again for the region, and the world,' suggesting the Strait of Hormuz is expected to reopen.
However, the exact terms of the agreement remain vague. The final text of the memorandum of understanding has not been published, and key issues such as access to the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's nuclear programme, and the situation in Lebanon are still unclear.
Trump later told the New York Times that he would resume military attacks if Tehran fails to reach a nuclear agreement with the US during broader negotiations set to begin on Friday. This adds uncertainty to the ceasefire's durability.
Analysts note that while the deal ends active hostilities, the lack of detail on critical points raises questions about its long-term success. The international community awaits further clarification from both sides.
