Trump Makes Announcement Regarding Iran Peace Deal

The memorandum is reportedly scheduled to be formally signed on June 19 and would launch a 60-day negotiating period focused on Iran’s nuclear program and the terms of a wider long-term agreement between the two countries.

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

“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!” he added.

In a follow-on post, the president said, “This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me.

“The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace,” Trump said.

“With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!” he noted further.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz praised the agreement as well.

“I welcome the agreement between the U.S. and Iran and congratulate President Trump and the Iranian side on this diplomatic breakthrough,” Merz said in a post on X.

“This can pave the way for a reinvigorated global economy and a more secure Middle East. It is crucial to implement it with determination,” he added.

U.S. Ambassador Michael Waltz on Sunday praised Trump for securing the deal that will also enhance U.S. security.

“The President has put our country first and negotiated a peace deal that will keep us safe and prevent Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon,” Waltz said in a post shared on X.

“From the very beginning, @POTUS maximized our leverage, limited casualties and brought credible military force to ensure the best possible outcome,” he added before offering his congratulations to Trump.

“This is one hell of a way to celebrate a birthday. Congratulations, Mr. President,” Waltz said.
