U.S. President Donald Trump and the government of Iran have reached a peace deal to end their war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The agreement is critical because it seeks to restore global energy flows and lower oil prices, easing economic pressure on import-dependent nations such as India.
The deal takes the form of a memorandum of understanding designed to terminate all military operations. This comes after a conflict that lasted nearly four months [1]. The resolution is expected to stabilize shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint for global oil exports.
Reports on the specific timing of the formal signing vary. Reuters said the memorandum of understanding was to be signed on Friday, June 14, 2026 [2], in Switzerland. However, USA Today said the deal was expected to be signed on Sunday [3].
The diplomatic breakthrough is intended to address the energy crisis and inflation caused by the blockade. By reopening the strait, the two nations aim to reduce the volatility of fuel prices, and mitigate the economic impact on global markets.
President Trump said the agreement would end the hostilities and restore stability to the region. The shift toward diplomacy follows a period of intense military operations that disrupted international trade and spiked energy costs.

The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz removes a primary geopolitical risk factor for global energy markets. By stabilizing oil supply, the deal likely reduces inflationary pressures on fuel-importing economies and signals a temporary shift from military escalation to diplomatic negotiation between the U.S. and Iran.
