War on Iran: Trump says deal to end US-Israeli war on all fronts is 'now complete'

What Happened

US President Donald Trump stated on Truth Social on 14 June 2025 that a deal with Iran 'is now complete,' announcing the end of the US naval blockade and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He authorized the 'immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade' and declared the strait toll-free. Hours later, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif posted on X that the United States and Iran had reached a broader peace deal to end military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, with a formal signing ceremony scheduled for 19 June in Switzerland. Iran has not yet confirmed or commented on the claims. No independent verification of the deal’s terms or implementation was immediately available.

Key Actors

Why It Matters

If substantiated, such a deal would represent a significant de-escalation in the multi-layered US-Iran standoff, directly affecting the naval blockade at the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for global oil transit—and potentially pausing military operations involving Iranian-backed groups in Lebanon and beyond. The announcement, however, lacks Iranian confirmation and comes amid ongoing conflict dynamics, leaving its implementation and scope highly uncertain.

Watch For

Iran’s official response to the claimed deal; any observable changes in US naval posture in the Strait of Hormuz; the planned signing ceremony in Switzerland on 19 June and which parties actually attend; reactions from Israel, Hezbollah, and other Axis of Resistance members; and whether the US Department of Defense or State Department corroborates the blockade removal.
