Washington, June 15 (Sputnik/UNI)

US President Donald Trump on Sunday confirmed that an agreement had been reached with Iran, describing it as a significant diplomatic breakthrough.

"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Following the announcement, Trump said he had authorised the reopening of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz and ordered the immediate removal of the US naval blockade.

"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 in a post on social media.

Earlier, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had announced that a peace agreement between the United States and Iran had been successfully negotiated. According to Sharif, both sides agreed to an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.

"Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran has been reached," Sharif said in a post on X.

He added that the two countries would formally sign the agreement in Switzerland on June 19.

"Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, June 19, in Switzerland," Sharif stated.

The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil transit routes, has long been a focal point of tensions in the Gulf region. The reported agreement and reopening of the waterway could have significant implications for global energy markets and regional stability.
