The U.S. and Iran reached a tentative deal to end the war last night. Vice President JD Vance says the agreement will “fundamentally transform the Middle East.”
Critics warn that Iran can’t be trusted to follow through on the deal, and one Israeli leader says the agreement “does not ensure our security.”
While the final text of the U.S.- Iran Peace agreement has not been released, the deal calls for the ceasefire to be extended 60 days, the end of fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon, negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium and a verification mechanism, the end of the U.S. naval blockade, and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump announced the deal on Truth Social by posting, “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!”
