TRUMP DECLARES WAR-ENDING AGREEMENT WITH IRAN IS 'ALL SIGNED' AS WORLD LEADERS CONVERGE FOR G7 SUMMIT.

Jun 16 2026, Tuesday

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — In a dramatic diplomatic breakthrough, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a landmark memorandum of understanding to end the war with Iran has been completely finalized and signed. Speaking to reporters on Monday as he arrived in the French alpine resort town of Évian-les-Bains for the annual G7 summit, Trump declared that the strategic maritime conflict is reaching its curtain call.

"The deal's all signed. And the strait is already partially opened," Trump stated during a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, adding that global oil prices are plummeting while the stock market climbs "like a rocket."

A Swift Solution to a Global Energy Crisis

The historic framework, brokered with the assistance of Qatari and Pakistani mediators, aims to put a definitive end to a high-stakes, three-month military conflict that severely throttled global energy markets. Under the newly unveiled 14-point memorandum, the United States has agreed to immediately dismantle its devastating naval blockade of Iranian ports. In exchange, Tehran will fully reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz—a vital global chokepoint responsible for the transit of one-fifth of the world’s petroleum and gas supplies.

Trump firmly emphasized that the core objective of the military campaign had been successfully achieved. "The main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agreed to that with strong policing powers," he asserted.

Diplomatic Friction and the 60-Day Countdown

While the White House confirmed that President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf have already electronically signed the document, a formal physical signing ceremony is scheduled to take place this Friday, June 19, in Switzerland. The broad strokes of the agreement establish a 60-day ceasefire extension during which both nations will hammer out incredibly complex technical details, including U.S. sanctions relief, the potential unfreezing of $24 billion in Iranian assets, and long-term verification protocols for Iran's nuclear program.

Despite the optimism radiating from the American delegation, deep fissures have already begun to emerge on the global stage. Gathering G7 leaders are working around the clock to prevent the fragile truce from unravelling before the ink even dries.

A central point of contention remains the status of regional proxies. While Iranian officials publicly announced that military operations would permanently cease on all fronts—explicitly including the ongoing conflict in Lebanon—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly broke his silence to distance his nation from the deal. Netanyahu forcefully clarified that Israel did not participate in the negotiations and remains entirely uncommitted to any mandates requiring the withdrawal of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from southern Lebanon.

Furthermore, the Pentagon is treading with extreme caution. Senior U.S. defense officials confirmed Monday that the United States will maintain its massive buildup of roughly 50,000 troops currently stationed across the Middle East throughout the 60-day negotiation window, refusing any immediate military drawdown until Iran explicitly proves total compliance with its newly signed commitments.
