U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 14-point agreement on Sunday to end the war [1, 2].
The deal aims to halt active fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint for global energy supplies. The agreement represents a significant shift in regional diplomacy intended to improve stability and prevent further escalation in the Middle East [1, 2].
According to reports, the pact specifically addresses the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which had experienced 111 days of gridlock prior to the signing of the deal [3]. The 14-point framework outlines the steps necessary to cease hostilities, and restore the flow of commercial traffic through the waterway [1, 2].
While the agreement was announced on June 18, 2026, some initial reports contained conflicting information regarding the signatories. One report incorrectly listed the Pakistani Prime Minister as a party to the deal, but other sources confirmed that President Trump and President Pezeshkian signed the agreement [1, 4].
The agreement comes after a prolonged period of tension and military confrontation. The primary objective of the 14-point plan is to ensure that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to international shipping, a move seen as essential for stabilizing global oil prices and ensuring the security of maritime trade [1, 2].
Details regarding the specific terms of the 14 points have not been fully released, but the immediate focus remains on the cessation of fighting and the lifting of the blockade [1, 2].

The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is the most immediate economic victory of this agreement, as the 111-day blockage created severe risks for global energy markets. By signing a formal 14-point pact, the U.S. and Iran are attempting to move from a state of active conflict to a managed diplomatic relationship, though the sustainability of the deal depends on the adherence to the specific terms of the ceasefire.
