Trump declares US-Iran deal 'complete'; Geneva signing set for June 19

The United States and Iran have confirmed a peace agreement aimed at bringing an "immediate and permanent" end to military actions across multiple fronts, including Lebanon. The development marks the most significant diplomatic breakthrough since the conflict began more than three months ago and could pave the way for broader negotiations on unresolved issues between the two countries.

According to officials involved in the process, the agreement is expected to ease tensions in the region and create conditions for discussions on Iran's nuclear programme, sanctions relief and frozen Iranian assets. A formal signing ceremony is scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 19.

Iran outlines conditions for final agreement

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the agreement would put an "immediate end" to the conflict and create a framework for future negotiations.

"Negotiations for a final deal will be held during a 60-day period after verifying that the USA implemented its commitments under the deal, including ending hostilities, lifting the blockade, and releasing frozen assets," Gharibabadi was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

He also stated that Tehran had incorporated all its key positions into the memorandum and stressed, "This memorandum of understanding does not mean trusting the enemy. We will monitor the implementation of US commitments."

Per HT, Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the agreement includes the suspension of military operations and the removal of restrictions on Iranian ports.

"Based on the agreements reached, the war and military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, will end immediately and permanently as of tonight, and in addition, the naval blockade against Iran will end immediately and completely," the council said in a statement, reported HT.

"The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. I hereby fully authorise the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and, simultaneously herewith, authorise the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade.Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow," Trump said.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important energy routes, handling around 20 per cent of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments before the conflict disrupted traffic.

Questions remain over deal details

While both sides have confirmed the agreement, several details remain unclear. Iranian media reports claimed frozen assets could be released as part of the process, though Washington has not immediately commented on those specifics.

The announcement was welcomed internationally, with several European nations expressing readiness to work toward a broader diplomatic settlement. Oil prices fell sharply at the start of trading on Monday, while stock markets reacted positively to the prospect of reduced tensions in the region.

US Vice President JD Vance said he plans to attend the Geneva signing ceremony and added that it was possible Trump could also be present.
