Trump Announces Signed Deal Ending War with Iran

In a pivotal moment at the G7 summit in Italy, US President Donald Trump declared that a “preliminary deal” to end the war with Iran had already been signed electronically. Trump emphasized that the agreement was “all signed,” and that further details would be released “pretty soon.” The announcement follows the president’s commitment to lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports and to open the Strait of Hormuz for shipping.

Senior US officials revealed that the ceasefire would extend for 60 days, creating a window for detailed negotiations. The deal was signed by President Trump, Vice President Joe Biden’s special representative JD Vance, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. While the deal covers the immediate suspension of military operations across multiple fronts—including Lebanon—it does not mandate Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanese territories, and Israel has retained the right to self‑defence.

Key elements of the agreement include the restoration of shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of certain sanctions against Iran, and a commitment that Iran will not develop nuclear weapons. However, Iranian officials note that the deal is a “step toward reducing tensions” and remain wary of US motives. European leaders, meanwhile, reiterated that any sanctions relief depends on verifiable progress in Iran’s nuclear programme.

The announcement carries significant implications for global oil markets, regional security, and the ongoing debate over nuclear safeguards. Analysts are observing how quickly the terms will be published and how the agreement might reshape diplomatic relations in the Middle East.
