President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Iran have reached a preliminary peace agreement designed to end months of conflict and begin negotiations on a broader long-term settlement. Iranian officials also confirmed that both sides had finalized a memorandum of understanding, describing it as the first step toward restoring stability and reducing tensions in the region.
According to statements from both governments, the agreement calls for an immediate halt to military operations and outlines a framework for reopening the Strait of Hormuz while the United States begins lifting its naval blockade of Iranian ports. The memorandum also establishes a 60-day negotiating period during which officials will seek to resolve outstanding issues, including Iran’s nuclear program and the terms of a comprehensive agreement.
