The United States and Iran are set to begin a week of high-stakes diplomacy Monday after announcing a framework deal to end the war<\/a> and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a preliminary agreement that has already pushed oil prices lower but leaves the fate of Iran\u2019s nuclear program to future negotiations.
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0said in a Truth Social post on Sunday. “Congratulations to all! 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.”
Mediators will be facilitating a series of meetings this week before the agreement is expected to be formally signed on Friday in Switzerland. Trump, on Monday, was traveling to the Group of Seven meeting in France, where the framework will be a major topic of discussion.
The agreement is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to the fighting, but many key details remain unresolved, including how the two sides will address Iran\u2019s nuclear program. In an interview with\u00a0The New York Times<\/a>, Trump said if\u00a0Iran\u00a0failed to reach a final nuclear accord with the U.S., he would restart military attacks on Tehran or make the U.S. “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for 20% of the region\u2019s revenues.

Trump, who’s currently at a G7 summit, said during a meeting with Macron that the U.S. won’t “need much help” from America’s allies to keep the Strait of Hormuz open but it welcomes France’s assistance.
“But I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have a ship or two up here from a few countries,” Trump said. “Because you never know what happens.”
He added: “I think it’s going to be free-sailing.”

Trump pointed to the Iran deal’s favorable impact on the oil and stock markets in touting the proposal during his first public comments after signing the agreement.
“Very importantly, the oil is plummeting down and the stock market is shooting up like a rocket today,” the president said during an appearance at the G7 summit in France.
Trump previously has dismissed concerns about the war’s impact on gas prices and other consumer costs, saying the conflict was worth the short-term financial pain. The war and cost-of-living issues have taken a toll on Trump’s approval rating, though, and he appeared eager to celebrate the financial benefits of the deal.

France is ready to take on its “fair share of the burden” and support a U.S.-Iran deal, said Emmanuel Macron, the nation’s president, at the start of a meeting with Trump.
Trump tapped his hands as he sat beside the French leader, with whom he’s typically had a strong rapport, as he made the remarks.
“Good,” the U.S. president remarked.
Trump has criticized U.S. allies for refusing to help the United States with its bombing campaign in Iran, and the G7 summit will be a first test of the relationship in the conflict’s aftermath.

A senior United States official said the framework peace deal agreed to with Iran includes the possibility of sanctions relief and releasing Iranian funds that have been frozen.
Trump criticized former President Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal, which also included sanctions relief, and pulled out of the agreement during his first term. He now is facing questions about whether his deal ultimately could provide Tehran with similar benefits.
Economic resources only will flow to Iran if the country implements the terms of the deal, the official said.
The text of the new agreement has yet to be released, but Trump said it will reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for ending a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. Administrations officials previously have said the deal also commits Tehran to further negotiations over dismantling its nuclear program.

U.S. and Iranian officials are expected to meet in Switzerland on Friday for a formal signing ceremony to cement a framework agreement to end the Iran war, but Vice President JD Vance told ABC the preliminary peace deal has already been signed digitally.
Vance said the deal was signed on Sunday and the text of the agreement will be released this week. Trump said in announcing the agreement that it will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, but additional details have not been made public.
“We already signed the deal digitally yesterday,” Vance said on Good Morning America on Monday.

President Donald Trump has arrived in Geneva ahead of his planned appearance at the G7 summit in France, where the U.S.-Iran agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will be central topics of discussion.
Trump stepped out of Air Force One just after 4 p.m. local time. The three-day summit will take place in the city of E\u0301vian-les-Bains.
Francesca Chambers
Vance said in an interview that the U.S. is now in direct talks with Iranian leaders, a range of whom are expected to attend Friday’s negotiations.
“We’re not passing messages through various backchannels anymore. We’re actually talking to them,” Vance said on CNBC. “And when you talk to them, you figure out what’s real, what’s fake, what are they serious about, what are they not serious about.”
The vice president added that Washington is willing to change its relationship with the Iranian regime if it’s leaders are willing to change their relationship with the United States.

Trump said travel through the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> has begun to increase by citing a Bloomberg article about nearly 1,000 commercial vessels during the last two months.
\u201cShips are starting to move, many loaded up with Oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d Trump said in a different post<\/a>. \u201cThey are going along the Southern \u2018Highway,\u2019 which is totally safe, secure, and pristine.\u201d
Christopher Cann
Vice President JD Vance said he expects the Strait of Hormuz to be open toll-free in the long term and hopes the text of the preliminary agreement with Iran will be released this week.
In an interview on CNBC,\u00a0Vance said Iran’s foreign minister and parliamentary speaker will represent Iran at the signing in Switzerland on Friday. Many details of the deal are still to be sorted out, he added.
After the U.S. and Israel started the war, Iran began exercising control over the Strait of Hormuz, imposing maritime fees and transit regulations for vessels passing along the vital trade route.
President Donald Trump has said that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen as part of a preliminary agreement between the U.S. and Iran.
Christopher Cann
The United Nations’ human rights chief Volker Turk on Monday praised the preliminary agreement between the U.S. and Iran and urged countries to exercise restraint so a lasting peace deal can be reached.
“I welcome the announcement that the United States and Iran have agreed on a peace deal that provides for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a framework for further negotiations,” he said in a statement.
“At this fragile moment it is clear all sides need to exercise maximum restraint and work to implement the agreement reached quickly and in good faith,” he added.
Francesca Chambers
Trump is on his way to a G7 meeting in France, where the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the prospective deal with Iran will be central topics of discussion. G7 nations Britain and France are leading a coalition<\/a> of nations that have volunteered to help demine the Strait of Hormuz and ensure the safe passage of commercial ships once fighting in Iran has ceased.
The U.S. president is scheduled to have a private conversation with France’s Emmanuel Macron when he arrives in E\u0301vian-les-Bains for the three-day meeting. He’ll participate in a formal greeting and working dinner with other world leaders in attendance immediately afterwards.

Shipping companies in Asia and Europe said confidence in restoring travel through the Strait of Hormuz could take weeks to rebuild despite the U.S.-Iran deal.
Oil prices fell about 5% on Monday based on the agreement to halt fighting while talks continue about Iran\u2019s nuclear program. But shippers want to hear about plans to remove mines from the strait, a key waterway for 20% of the world\u2019s oil and natural gas.
“Initial reactions in the shipping industry are muted,\u201d Jyske Bank analyst Haider Anjum said in a note to clients. “The shipping companies probably want to wait until it is clear that the agreement holds, as we have already had Hormuz ‘open’ for a very short time twice before.\u201d

In an interview with\u00a0The New York Times<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday, President Donald Trump said if\u00a0Iran\u00a0failed to reach a final nuclear accord with the United States, he would restart military attacks on Tehran or make the U.S. “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for 20% of the region\u2019s revenues.
Trump also told the Times that the agreement with Iran would ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains “permanently toll-free.” But the full text of the agreement has not been released, and Trump appeared to describe to the newspaper concessions Iran has not finalized, or that may have been deferred to future negotiations.
A memorandum of understanding tied to the deal outlines a suspension of any tolls in the strait for 60 days, followed by plans for regional talks about the future, the outlet reported. Iran had not charged tolls on the Strait of Hormuz before the war, meaning the deal largely restores conditions that existed before it.

Fighting eased in southern Lebanon after the U.S.-Iran deal was announced, but authorities warned more than 1 million people who have evacuated during the war not to rush home yet.
Pakistan, which mediated the truce between Tehran and Washington, said the deal called for \u201cthe immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon,\u201d where Iran\u2019s proxy Hezbollah has attacked Israel.
The declaration brought relative calm to southern Lebanon, Reuters reported, based on Lebanese and foreign security sources.
But Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said his country wouldn\u2019t withdraw from security zones in southern\u00a0Lebanon, Gaza and Syria, and would retaliate if attacked.

In a televised phone interview with\u00a0Fox News<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday, Vice President JD Vance<\/a> called the agreement with Iran “a big moment for the United States of America,” but noted that more work needs to be done.
The agreement would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift the naval blockade, restoring a key global shipping route, according to Vance. He said the deal also bars Iran from developing, acquiring or purchasing a nuclear weapon.
“This only happens, to be clear, if Iran delivers on their promise,” Vance told Fox News. “So there’s an approach here where we verify and where there are real benefits, so long as Iran meets their end of the obligation.”
Vance acknowledged the recent Israeli strikes in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, saying U.S. officials were worried Iran might retaliate but were assured the country would not. He later added that he plans to attend the signing ceremony, which is expected to be held in Switzerland on June 19.
“I\u2019m not going to say that everybody\u2019s going to sing Kumbaya tomorrow,” Vance told the network. “It\u2019s going to take a little bit of time to learn the ways of peace, but I do think we took a major, major step tonight.”
Zac Anderson and Thao Nguyen
President Donald Trump indicated that the deal will reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the United States blockade of Iranian ports, but additional details were not immediately disclosed<\/a>. The president later announced on social media that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen on June 19, when the deal between the United States and Iran is expected to be signed.
“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!” Trump\u00a0said in the post<\/a>.
In addition to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the Trump administration has previously said that the memorandum of understanding would commit Iran to further talks about dismantling its nuclear program over the next 60 days, leaving one of the thorniest issues yet to be resolved. After bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities, Trump has insisted that any deal will ensure the country won’t be able to develop a nuclear weapon.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a post on X that the agreement called for “the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.” In a statement, the secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said war and military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, would end permanently starting on Monday night.
