President Donald Trump announced that a peace agreement with Iran is expected to be signed on Sunday, June 13, 2026 [1].
The deal seeks to end a war in the Middle East that began Feb. 28, 2026 [1, 2]. Because the conflict has disrupted global shipping and regional stability, the agreement's primary goal is to restore security and allow free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz [1, 2, 3].
Trump said the agreement is scheduled to be signed in Washington [2, 3]. The president said the pact is designed to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons [2]. He said that once the document is signed, the strategic Strait of Hormuz will be reopened for international transit [2].
This announcement follows earlier reports on May 23, 2026 [3], indicating that a memorandum of understanding was practically negotiated. Trump wrote on Saturday that the framework for the peace deal included the specific reopening of the waterway [3].
However, the timeline remains a point of contention between the two nations. While the U.S. president has set a firm date for Sunday, June 13, 2026 [1], Iranian officials said there is no confirmed date for the signing yet [3].
Trump said the agreement for ending the war in the Middle East is planned for Sunday [1]. The move represents a significant diplomatic effort to resolve the hostilities that have persisted since February [1, 2].
“The agreement for ending the war in the Middle East is planned for Sunday.”
The discrepancy between the U.S. announcement and Iran's lack of confirmation suggests a potential gap in final diplomatic alignment. If signed, the deal would resolve a critical maritime chokepoint in the Persian Gulf, potentially stabilizing global oil markets and ending the active military conflict that began in February 2026.
